JUST IN: Reformers within the Brooklyn Democratic Party are suing the party's chair, Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, to stop her from executing her plan to reshape the party's leadership in order to hang on to power.

They fired her because she wasn’t deferential to Charlie Kirk and other white dudes like him enough. It was an egregious firing. Not nearly enough free speech folks rallied around her.
New York magazine says it decided that “genocide” was “an accurate description of the atrocities in Gaza, that accusations of antisemitic intent were in fact obfuscating an overwhelming scholarly consensus, and that its use would be allowed in our pages” https://t.co/XF5rlv58ga
All 3 cyclists were coming or going from work when they died
17 cyclists, riding both e-bikes and traditional bicycles, have been struck by vehicles and killed so far this year compared with 10 deaths at the same point last year
BREAKING:
The Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth after Charlie Kirk's killing. I fought back.
I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post.
They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. ✊🏾

Today, we remember an important turning point in history: the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.
Here in New York City, we remember the tragedy of slavery through Dr. Lorenzo Pace’s Triumph of the Human Spirit, a memorial at the oldest and largest known burial site of free and enslaved Africans in North America.
On the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we honor all those who resisted slavery and fought for their freedom, and we remember those who were killed or died while still enslaved.
We carry their struggle forward by building a city rooted in justice, freedom and dignity for all.
What a harrowing read. The husband of German actor Collien Fernandes impersonated her online with AI sexual images and German law protected him. "He not just used her for his & others’ sexual gratification—he had also erased her as a person." @susandominus

The Brooklyn Democratic Party leadership must respect the results of the June elections and the will of voters, not change the rules in a backroom deal in an attempt to cling to power.
Brooklyn Democrats deserve new leadership.
This is a disgusting, desperate (and extremely obvious) power grab by Rodneyse to retain control of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, and anyone who stands by her while she pulls this shit is not worthy of our respect or votes moving forward.
Columbia University closed its gates after students and protesters set up pro-Palestinian encampments. That was two years ago, and the still-closed gates represent a state of capitulation to the Trump administration’s attack on higher education. https://t.co/luXvSDPtm4
wrote about hayden panettiere, the fame machine, and ‘ice princess,’ a tragically prescient film about the pressures put on teenagers to achieve greatness in a world where they’re rarely provided the tools to handle it. may hayden shine forever <3 https://t.co/dlpHs7UARm
Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3:
