You can’t make this up. Minouche Shafik, the former @Columbia president who caved to hostile politicians in a disastrous hearing, called the NYPD onto her own campus, had students arrested by the hundreds, then resigned in disgrace, is now in charge of @LSEnews new forum for “democratic debate.” Will she call the police on the debaters too? lse.ac.uk/news/latest-news-f…

Mayor Mamdani says he’s opposed to mass surveillance, but he declines to say whether he thinks the NYPD should use stingray devices that track cell phones — even though his admin is moving forward w/ contracting a firm to operate them “I'll get back to you,” he says.

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Politico: How long will Mayor Zohran Mamdani keep Commissioner Tisch in the role? NY Governor Hochul: “As long as the [NYPD] Commissioner wants.” Hochul said she only endorsed Mamdani after he promised to retain Tisch.

I'd love to know more about that group and how much Tisch family money is involved.

Malcolm Gladwell just published a new book and gone on one popular show after another arguing that the U.S. needs to massively expand the profitable police surveillance state. The entire argument is based on an embarrassing factual error.

New: An NYPD spokesperson confirms the police department no longer plans to enter into a no-bid contract with a controversial Israeli surveillance tech company — a reversal that comes after the procurement drew pushback from Mayor Mamdani's allies and civil rights advocates.

Se a esquerda mundial se unir, a gente varre a extrema direita da face da terra, EU GARANTO PRA VOCÊS! E aí seremos hegemônicos? Jamais! Somos democratas, voltaremos a nos dividir de acordo com nossas IDEIAS: esquerda x direita x centro x centro esquerda x centro direita e etc! E aí a extrema direita será apenas um capitulo da nossa história, tal qual o nazismo! Algo para jamais esquecermos e que deverá ficar como lição para nós, uma lição de que a defesa da democracia deve ser PERMANENTE!

Este es el genio detrás de la victoria de Lula. Propuso un ejército de activistas digitales en Whatsapp y combinar redes al máximo con las calles. Los seres humanos le ganaron la batalla a los bots falsos de los grandes adinerados del mundo y el software de escrutinio era totalmente público.
