Me with the dark gray pants and black armor that weighs a bit heavy playing with my German longsword against a fellow HEMA member. Pulling simple sword grabs and some footwork at the end.

LESSONS FROM THE ELECTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY
Last night, voters across New York delivered a powerful message: the era of status quo politics is over.
From Buffalo to Queens, grassroots candidates ran bold campaigns focused on the struggles facing working people and won decisive victories. Not only did Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier win their Congressional primaries, but progressives won downballot as well. Adam Bojak, Christian Celeste Tate, Eli Northrup, Illapa Sairitupac, Samantha Kattan, Eon Huntley, Diana Moreno and David Orkin all won their New York state assembly races, while Aber Kawas and Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas won their State Senate races.
These victories occurred despite the fact that Super PACs funded by AIPAC, the crypto industry, AI and other billionaire-backed groups have spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat progressive candidates and crush a movement that threatens their economic and political power.
They happened because ordinary people knocked on doors, made phone calls, organized in their communities, and demanded a government that works for working families instead of wealthy campaign donors.
The American people — in New York and all across this country — are tired of a rigged economy that allows the very rich to become richer while working families struggle to afford housing, health care, child care and education. They are tired of a political system dominated by wealthy donors and corporate interests. And they are tired of billionaires and their Super PACs attempting to buy our elections.
Last night showed that when working people stand together, organize, and fight back, they can defeat establishment politicians and enormous amounts of money and political influence.
We’re making progress. The task before us now is to build on that momentum.
If Democrats regain control of Congress next year, they must listen to the people who put them in office. Status quo establishment policies are not enough. We must be bold. We must take on Oligarchy. We must represent working families and create a government that works for all, not just the few.
BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani says New York City will continue enforcing its sanctuary city policies and will not be complicit in federal civil immigration enforcement.
“We do not allow ICE agents into our schools, our hospitals, or city property without a judicial warrant signed by a judge,” Mamdani said. “We are proud of our heritage as an immigrant city.”
For many immigrant families, those policies are intended to ensure they can seek medical care, send their children to school, and access city services without fear.
I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.
This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
Within less than 24 hours, the trump statue (in the most republican heavy area of Florida) was covered in trash, shitty diapers, toilet paper and piss. Gerrymandering, Elons money, killing mail in ballots and armed guards at voting booths isn’t going to make a fuck of difference.
