State Supreme Court Blocks Brooklyn Democratic Party from Voting on New Chair
The order comes hours after a state appellate court sided with reformers, tossing out party rules changes pushed by outgoing chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

Friend shared a screenshot with an incredible update: Yesterday, Bichotte Hermelyn said she was working "hand in hand" with Jeffries. Today, Jeffries says he was "surprised" and DOESN'T support her plan to pack the Brooklyn Democratic Party's executive committee! (This is good - the plan is bad!)
Screenshot from X reading:

@AdamDalyNews
NEW: House Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries does not support Bichotte Hermelyn’s plan to expand the Brooklyn Dem Party’s executive committee.

His spox says Jeffries was “surprised” by the proposal and has not spoken with her about the organizational meeting (she told NY1 otherwise)

which is a quote post of:

Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn (@AMBichotte) just announced on NY1 she's going to try to expand the BK Dems' executive committee from 42 members to 68 - a clear effort to pack the board to block reform pick @JulioPenaNY, who claims to have secured a 22-vote majority.

Brooklyn Can't Wait wasn't created to "overthrow" anyone. It united clubs around the District Leader Pledge which formalized a shared standard of transparency and accountability. That's what kept us together through disagreements on candidates and what prevents reform from becoming another machine.

It is the conclusion of the UN, the ICC, and Israel, itself, that we are supporting war criminals and war crimes.

I come from a red area and have a lot of GOP-supporting friends and family. None of them, however, are elected officials. I personally would not bar individuals writ large based on their opinions, but individual elected officials? It's a different set of rules than a provate citizen.

No, they would be fine. That said, there aren't many who support either.

The social media post specifically citing the congressman's support for U.S. Israeli policy, as well as the support the coffee shop owner had previously expressed for Brad Lander, Jewish Voices for Peace, and Sen. Bernie Sanders all indicate this was about politics and not Jewish identity.

Politicians are not a protected class of citizen, nor are people who disagree with one's politics. That's why it's okay for a diner in Florida to ban Biden voters, as DeBary Diner did in 2021, and why it's okay for Poetica to ban Dan Goldman ober his support of the Israeli government.

There was an understanding last year that Nydia and Antonio would support Zohran and that Zohran would either reciprocate or stay out. Given how Reynoso was the DSA-aligned candidate in his council races and his BP races, it didn't seem like a far-fetched idea.

"Happy" is the wrong word for Chevalier, but the campaign Espaillat ran was very mean-spirited.

Very happy to see Lander and Chevalier prevail, as well as Orkin, Huntley, and Tate in the Assembly, but the betrayal of Nydia and Antonio by Zohran is not gonna go down well.

Really disgusted that a lot of people I follow/respect are cheering on the DOJ's investigation of Poetica Coffee, which is an objectively good coffee shop whose owner made a dumb political statement that anyone with half a brain could tell you would be misconstrued as antisemitism.

AIPAC saying that its critics are discredited by receiving funding from George Soros is, unfortunately, the logical endpoint to the current discourse of "antisemitism and anti-Zionism are synonymous" espoused by the American right.

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

It's even better because in the absence of flowers and color following the paving of the rose garden and demolition of the east wing, the bees will naturally gravitate towards the yellow of both the gilded adornments to the oval office and the president's general complexion

Whether it's Democrats decrying the lack of affordable housing, healthcare, gas, and groceries or Republicans decrying the lack of a Versailles-style White House ballroom, both sides agree something is missing in America right now.

Mayor McCheese: a spineless, ineffective 1970s neoliberal politician outsourcing nutrition to a private corporation that exploits children, pays minimum wage, and pays no taxes; likely a sitting gerontocratic Dem congressman to this day.
