This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes. Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment. To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

ARMY FIRING SQUAD EXPLAINER How will the Army shoot Nidal Hassan? Well, the current regulation doesn’t specify the process. The Provost Marshal General will have to come up with a plan. The plan will have to be approved and survive a court challenge; below is how it was done in the past. If I was advising @PeteHegseth, I would recommend that he direct the Provost Marshal to adapt the old plan with modifications (because that piece of garbage is in wheelchair). I would also do some deeper research to see if these procedures had ever been successfully challenged in court, or better yet, upheld. The plan will undoubtedly provide the basis for one of the frivolous flurry of last minute appeals and petitions designed to keep that trash breathing. Planning considerations will include the large number of witnesses, because victim and next of kin get to be there. I would probably do it out on a remote firing range with berms that would screen it off from outsiders, but where there would be plenty of room for witnesses – maybe even seating. I would be alert to the possibility of drones. I would also consider issuing M14s to the firing squad. A 5.56 mm round would probably do the job but why take any chances? Go with 7.62 mm. I would also see that the firing squad trained, trained and trained again. You want it like clockwork, and if somebody’s going to falter, you want find out before the big day. I would have at least five alternates and an assistant NCOIC. Another challenge would be selecting the firing squad. You’re going to have a lot of people volunteering for it. I would consider providing preferences to soldiers at Fort Hood on the day of the murders. You need to screen out nuts and weirdos, to the extent that @secwar’s policies haven’t already done that. You’re looking for squared away troops who are willing to take on the job because it’s a job that needs to be done; while people wanting a piece of this guy is understandable, this has to be done coldly and professionally. One final note – there’s no Christa Pike problem under the old procedures. If the volley doesn’t kill him, the squad sergeant shoots him in the head with his pistol. He should be issued an 1911A1 .45. Again, maximize the chances of success. I say we stick with tradition.

FYI. Not a single announcer mentioned this when Boagaerts slowed and jumped over the groundball to SS. As a base runner are you allowed to slow down as a baserunner and jump over groundball to disrupt fielder? No — not if the purpose is to disrupt the fielder. Under the MLB rules, a runner has to vacate space needed by a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball. A runner can be called for offensive interference even if there is no contact and even if the runner’s interference wasn’t intentional. Specifically, slowing down and jumping over the ground ball If a runner sees a ground ball coming toward an infielder and: deliberately slows down, times his movement so the fielder has to alter his fielding motion, and jumps over the ball to make the fielder hesitate or disrupt the play, that can absolutely be ruled interference. The key isn’t whether the runner actually touches the ball or fielder. The question is whether the runner hindered or impeded the fielder’s attempt to field the batted ball.

Everyone assumes Vance/Rubio will be the 2028 GOP ticket, but just for fun, what would be your surprise unexpected ticket?

Taking out Massie will cost Republicans the Senate due to surge for Libertarian candidates in key Senate races.

You’re telling me that, the Vice President’s wife almost face plants while carrying her new born child and not a single one of those toy soldiers even flinched a muscle to try and help her?

All the first baseman had to do was touch first base but he chased after Javy Baez instead, a breakdown throwback

I'm not sure I remember the last time corruption was the #2 issue fueling voter sentiment. Republicans can't do anything about it, though, without alienating their base because the corruption is coming from inside the house.

OK this videos going viral, everybody's got a take. Mines the correct TAKE. The second that ball hit the roof it should have been declared a dead ball. No way should the Padres should lose a batter when outside interference happened. Yeah it sucks they didn't get the runs, but they shouldn't have been penalized for it hitting the roof.

So the estranged wife of Ken Paxton is more of a loyal republican than the guy Texas elected to the Senate several times to represent their state as a republican. Sounds about right. Like Mitch McConnell, Cornyn was always about Cornyn .

Angie is Florida. Insulting her is insulting our state and our people. It’s also exposing their deep racism. We’ll keep spreading her message: every Floridian deserves to thrive. And Ashley Moody is a thief.

I wasn’t going to vote for democrats come midterms because it makes my skin crawl. Upon seeing just how toxic and ignorant Trump voters are on this app, they’ve changed my mind. MAGA cannot be allowed to survive. I’m voting blue to cancel out maga votes and bring about their destruction even faster. See you at the ballot boxes come November 😁

Disagree with her policies. Challenge her ideas. Fight her at the ballot box. That’s democracy. But for the sitting Vice President of the United States to tell Angie Nixon, a FL state representative, U.S. Senate nominee, business owner, mother, and Floridian that she doesn’t belong in America is profoundly un-American and racist. No politician gets to decide who belongs in this country. NO MAS!

The political ads in Nebraska are crazy. Children sex changes in school is NOT a thing. Fucking stop it! You can’t even give kids Tylenol without the parent’s permission!

This is just populism. And it’s rancid. Burritos don’t cost $22; that’s the cost of paying a guy to drive a burrito to your doorstep because you’re too fuckin lazy to go get it yourself. But Vance knows this. He’s just gaslighting. Populism is socialism in a flirtier outfit. Don’t fall for the costume. Don’t fall for Vance’s well-delivered rhetoric.

Dear internet, As a rape survivor, what bothers me most about the Cornell case isn't the case itself. It is all the damn virtue signaling around it. Those of you declaring a side are no better than the high schoolers debating in the halls whether I was really raped or if his story that I was a pathetic whore was true. There is a reason I never went to the police and it isn't because some people didn't believe me. It was because there would never be a fair trial in my small town. Before the weekend was even over the entire school knew. You all are collectively making our nation a small town of gossips and vipers, poisoning jury pools and showing victims what exactly will happen if they ever speak up. That includes "journalists" releasing leaked legal documents, evidence, and whatever AI slop comes along to get clicks. That includes those of you screaming, "believe all women." You are the worst thing that has happened to survivors. You diminish our experiences by lumping them in with every false narrative ever spoken by a woman. Victims know not all women are victims. We know some women outright lie. We know some women have regrets and rewrite the narrative. We know some women scheme and entrap men in order to destroy their reputation. How do we know? Because they do it to women to. There is far more than one woman who believed my rapist, rather than me, out here screaming "believe all women" now that she thinks it makes her look good. Every wrongfully convicted man means not only an innocent man's life was destoryed but if a rape did occur the rapist got away. So, don't for one second think you are speaking for me when you are out here virtue signaling your presumed moral superiority while on that high horse of digital currency. I have no idea what happened at Cornell. I wasn't there. That is not a hard, complicated, or immoral thing to say. It is the truth. We can talk about holding men and women accountable for bad behavior without debating individual cases in public before any trial has even occurred. We can talk about the toxcicity of Greek life on campus and campus cover ups without diminishing an individual story to politics and personal showboating. Those conversations, held with civility, decorum, facts, and debating ideas may actually do some good to protect women, men, and children. But that wouldn't be enough rage porn and dopamine drip for you all. Signed, The Rape Survivor You Don't Want to Hear From
