Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew a hard line. He signed an executive order barring ICE from NYC property โ€” schools, hospitals, shelters, parking lots - without a judicial warrant. Sanctuary protections strengthened. Immigrant rights defended. Federal overreach blocked. NYC stood up.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Iranian civilians are not justifiable collateral in this conflict. Killing any civilian population indiscriminately is a war crime. More than that, itโ€™s evil.

Stop it, you soulless motherfuckers.

Countries have to sign an โ€œunconditional surrender.โ€

If they donโ€™t, it doesnโ€™t count as such, no matter how much rubbish blasts out of Leavittโ€™s mouth.

The division in this country will not change until our media does. Going out of their way to find or view every event they can spin as partisanly as possible, they are not just fueling the division, they are manufacturing it.

Reject hyper-partisan coverage from any source. Even those you prefer.

It's so hard to be more outrageous than the MAGA leader to secure yourself some headlines. They have to keep tunneling deeper into the gutter to even get noticed.

Itโ€™s not an issue of political contention; itโ€™s an issue of integrity. You should answer the question.

So, what the โ€œSecretary of Warโ€ is directing the โ€œDepartment of Warโ€ to do in the Middle East isnโ€™t โ€œwar,โ€ itโ€™s just โ€œdefense.โ€

Uh, Oโ€ฆKโ€ฆ.

The irony here of course is reporting exactly what Trump says is what would make him โ€œlook bad.โ€ Journalists are doing this WH a favor by asking his press team to clarify his gibberish.

They really can't be "raptured" soon enough. Let the planes fall where they may...we'll move on somehow, mostly just relieved that they've finally floated the f*ck off our planet.

Live updates: U.S. sub torpedoes Iranian ship as public mourning delayed for Khamenei Follow live updates and the latest news coverage as Iran begins funeral proceedings for Supreme Leader Khamenei, Trump and Israel strike Tehran, and U.S. targets across the Middle East face attacks.

It's not a "war"....it's just a sustained lethal global attack on their military and infrastructure and leadership with extensive collateral damage.

But it's not a "war."

Can our media please put a stop to this criminally duplicitous framing???

โ€œ[The U.S.] was at war with [Iran]: therefore [the U.S.] had always been at war with [Iran]. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.โ€

Journalists: Please stop saying Khamenei โ€œdied.โ€œ

He was assassinated.

Perhaps only a few other people on the planet deserved to be assassinated more than him, but that is what happened. Saying he โ€œdiedโ€ is unprofessional euphemism.

Facts matter.

Sugarcoating is for pols, not journos.

Can we deport ICE? Citizens seem to be fair game and Iโ€™m a firm believer of treat people the way you want to be treated. They showed us how they want to be treated, I think itโ€™s only fair we oblige.

ICE Agents Arrest Student Inside Columbia Building, School Says

Yes, the election he says was rigged (2020) took place while he was in office. The election he says was fair (2024) took place while he was out of office.

The lesson here is clear: if we want fair elections in 2026, he must resign.
