the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

3. On or about March 27, 2025, MICHAEL GANN, the defendant, posted the
following message on X and tagged @POTUS, the official X account for the President of the United States: "Dear @POTUS, I'm thinking just now here in NYC that it's too bad that the wall
wasn't built before the National Guard would have to come here for the Protests and Riotation or would you just drop a bomb on this place while and because they seem to be coming and coming?"
4. On or about June 5, 2025-just hours before MICHAEL GANN, the defendant,
was arrested with one of the IEDs on his person GANN posted the below message to Instagram:
A right-wing lunatic from the Five Towns placed IEDs in Manhattan and on a subway line after tagging the president in a tweet about bombing New York City.
The Post (predictably) and Times do not feel that these are details that their readers should know. Weird!

One of the brothers who joined the Klan from Woodhaven lived in the neighborhood until 1971, the other moved up to Vermont perhaps in the 1940s. I'm looking at these people for a technical research-oriented reason, as there are hundreds of people from Woodhaven and Richmond Hill who joined.

Image is a newspaper article about a Christmas party of a knitting club in 1961 in Vermont. The headline reads: "Kro Knit Klub Holds Its Christmas Party" and here is the first part of the text: "The Kro Knit Klub held its annual Christmas party last evening at the home of Mrs. Thomas Rowley at 1130 State Rd. Dinner was served and members exchanged gifts with secret friends from a grab bag" The rest of the text gives more info about prize winners and future plans for dinner parties.
This is from 1961 and while you'll see these tri-K puns all the time even now, and sometimes you have to wonder what is intended. In this case NYC ex-pats 30 years later still living the dream of white supremacy even through casual jokers. Like all of my stuff, I have receipts

Photo shows steps down to basement closed basement door of a mausoleum. Austere iron railings surrounding the narrow concrete stairs suggest not a public stairwell but something more relating to the building facility itself. In the background is a terrace and wall decorated appropriately as a place of reflection. In the background are hills suggesting a relatively rural or suburban location.
I'm a big Find a Grave guy and would like to nominate this for an as-yet-to-be-determined award for "Best 1920s-era Klansman's grave". In this case, the remains of cremation were never claimed.

Brother of Neo-Nazi Leader William Hoff Jr. Speaks Out
For half a century, 'Wild' Bill Hoff was an angry icon of the Neo-Nazi movement. But there was one thing he could never admit
He passed back in 2022, but this interview with Sheldon Hoff, once a staffer on the Berkeley Barb, about his brother Billy Hoff, a somewhat notorious Klan and Neo-Nazi leader in New York in the Dan Burros era. Worth a read. Wish I had been able to meet him www.splcenter.org/resources/re...

Sorry my point was opaque. he's getting support in surprising ways from communities not yet heard from (or heard enough). Woodhaven, City Line are not SE Queens and not the community you're invoking. I'm optimistic that when the field clarifies the support will be there

South of Forest Park has trended purple in generals, towards the middle in primaries, so I'm very heartened to see his wins in Woodhaven & Ozone Park. Certain other pols should take note of that. We might not see where Adams votes go in later rounds, bc Lander, but I think "w/o support" is premature

Graphic by New York Working Families Party (NY WFP) showing that NYC mayoral candidates Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander have cross-endorsed each other. At the top of the graphic are the names of the two candidates, with Zohran on the left and Brad on the right. Below their names appear the term "CROSS-ENDORSEMENT," with a photo of each candidate smiling directly below their respective names. A skyscraper skyline of buildings is interposed between the bottom of the candidates' photos and the following line of text at the footer: "ELECT WORKING FAMILIES CHAMPIONS"
Cross-endorsement achieved. Proud of Zohran, Brad, and @nywfp.bsky.social for making this happen. Let's win this.

1. Zohran Mamdani
2. Adrienne Adams

4. Brad Lander
