I was honored to visit Our Lady Salam, the first Arabic-speaking Lutheran parish on Staten Island. Its congregants hail from as close as Hylan Blvd to as far as Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, & Egypt — yet have planted roots in our city. Many carry the weight of war and genocide daily.

Trump went to Ohio Friday and defended the data centers being built. There’s one problem: His own party knows voters hate them. In a private memo, Senate Republicans warned data centers are “the anchor hanging around Husted's neck” — and admitted Sherrod Brown is attacking them “because it works.”

Big news: A federal judge has dismissed the FACE Act case filed by the DOJ (Harmeet Dhillon, specifically) against pro-Palestine activists who organized against illegal land sale events. I covered the case in a larger piece for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2026/03/11/n...
PAL-AWDA NY/NJ

VICTORY!
FEDERAL JUDGE DISMISSES POLITICAL LAWSUIT TARGETING STOLEN PALESTINIAN LAND SALE PROTEST ORGANIZERS IN NEW JERSEYWhen the FACE Act was drafted, lawmakers added a provision for houses of worship in order to get conservative votes to help pass the legislation, Kuby said. That provision, Kuby said, was never acted on until now "for a variety of reasons that are going to become apparent as it is now being used by the government."
Kuby is representing Tova Fry, a 76-year-old grandmother and daughter of Hungarian Jews who survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary. Fry is named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Trump's DOJ in September. The suit accuses Fry of violating the FACE Act by serving a notice of impending legal action to a man who planned to host an event at his house allegedly to sell stolen Palestinian land. The DOJ argues that her actions constitute an attempt to intimidate a house of worship because the man she served allegedly has a prayer room in his home.
