If mamdani’s anti semitism plan was legit, it begs the question- systemic racism is real- against black people, so why isn’t there a task force and this concerted focus and activity and law enforcement against that?
Why is this type of protection only afforded to a specific group that’s also using their religious spaces, hiding behind religion to sell Palestinian land?
cannot be emphasized how disconnected from contemporary entry level hiring practices anyone over 30 is. like “shadows on the cave wall” type disconnected. genuinely no hope of reaching any of them
Kanye West did a song titled Heil Hitler and is currently doing a concert tour, which has included multiple dates at Raymond James stadium in Tampa that has banned Macklemore for saying end the genocide & free Palestine
fucking absurd
Mamdani just spent several minutes detailing Netanyahu’s alleged war crimes before saying he has no authority to arrest him and leaves the matter to the federal government.
Fine. Then use every power the mayor does have.
Don’t roll out the red carpet for a wanted war criminal. Don’t use the NYPD to insulate him from public outrage. Don’t suppress the New Yorkers who take to the streets demanding accountability.
If Netanyahu is truly not welcome in New York City, that principle should be reflected in how the city treats his visit, not just in rhetoric.
i made a map to monitor data centers all around the world
tracks construction + nearby power plants + local AI legislation, and follows the politicians behind their bans (+ if they're getting paid to do so!)
The schools that had the most prevalent protests - including Columbia where I work - either suspended or expelled most of the students protesting Israel's genocide of Gaza. One of my former students has a 3 year (!!!) suspension.
Then, the schools enacted rules making protest nearly impossible. And the very people who pressured the schools to do this are now saying "Where are all the protests?".
Idiots.
The most important part of this video is not the hit on the US naval base, but that the Bahrainis who are filming the strike celebrate the Iranian attack on the US base.
At its core, this nonsense comes down to the Orwellian premise that some forms of crime might go down if there is a cop and a camera in everyone's bedroom and living room and front yard. This is not an interesting or helpful observation--especially because overwhelming evidence shows that other social investments can dramatically reduce how much people harm each other (including how much rich people harm other people) without turning our society into 1984.
@jenniferdoleac I have an entire chapter in Copaganda debunking this idea and going through all the supposed research. None of the (small group of) pro-police researchers on which this post relies have had a single meaningful response to that critique.
