The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

It is not "doxxing" ICE "agents to reveal the name of a man who shot and killed another human without cause or reason. Gregory Feathers is the identified "shooter"who also assaulted people in Minneapolis. Watch for updates to see if ICE "agent Gregory Feathers is arrested for MURDER.

When a politician in power says, “I’ll fight the next General Election on this issue”, what they really mean is, “I’m delaying doing anything about it.” Andy’s right: We need NHS style social care, paid for by national taxation. But we need it now, not in 3 years, if they win the next election.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.
