Europe needs to threaten to repeal their anti-circumvention laws in response to US tarrifs and threats. Trump only listens to money so the EU needs to make the rich companies that are funding his tantrums scared. Europe implemented these measure in exchange for no tariffs but the Tarrifs are here.

ICE could have killed Kaden with these munitions, it honestly looks like they hoped they would. Rubber bullets are not non-lethal.

Last year's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights. Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free—and must remain free.

For a base that supposedly doesn't like pedophiles, they seem to vote for / protect a lot of them.
Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

If you aren't aware, folate (or folic acid) is found in several fruits like Oranges and Bannanas. Its a very important nutrient that your body cannot make on its own. So it's important to fortify foods with it for communities with limited access to fresh fruit.

Almost nothing more American than Remittances. And is it only a problem because the guy runs a phone repair shop in a co-op? Or would Shirley be doing this at a farmer's market in South Carolina? (I suspect not)
Oh no, 😱
Nick Shirley is really onto something here. Immigrants running a co-op flea market and earning a living.
Extremely American.
Nick Shirley’s contribution is filming them and stoking fear for his latest grift. Bro needs to get a job and leave folks be.

A year ago today was the start of violent, terrorizing raids in California’s rural Central Valley. Violent federal agents were hunting down farm workers like animals.
Today, they’re in the streets of Minneapolis. Our communities should not be enduring this. None of us are safe until all of us are.

If the US so much as sneezes in Greenland's direction it would be Denmark's right to invoke NATO's article 4 and they should do it.
What use is a security alliance if it cannot even secure against the aggression of one of its own members.

I'm not inclined to agree with Sliwa on pretty much anything, but I do think he hits the correct point here. The biggest threat to Zoran's policies are not the fiscal possibility of the policies or even the sustainability of them. It's what remains in the war chest to enact them in the first place.
this is the most incredible interview i’ve ever read. the aei guy tries so hard to get sliwa to trash mamdani and he simply won’t. he also brings up flaco (rip) unprompted.

![How would you describe Mamdani's politics?
He's not a communist. People call him that. That's ridiculous. He is a democratic socialist. David Dinkins [New York mayor from 1990-93] was a democratic socialist. We've had a long history in New York City of socialism.
What's the biggest challenge Mamdani faces as mayor!
I don't think the Zohranistas totally understand the fiscal irresponsibility we just went through with the Adams years and how little money there's left.
There's not enough money to do all the things that Zohran wants to do.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreic7pxra6vmrjmqo4jmw4vdagiluj6xtkovqb3f4ex7fc55m7pzaxu@jpeg)

What the actual fuck is a "public artist" and since when did artists not have a right to pick and chose when and where they do thier work?
Art is speech and in the US anyone is free to pick and choose the manner and content of thier speech, or indeed if they want to speak at all.
