INLAND EMPIRE - It's the stale smell of rubber, the squeaky sound of sneakers, your bruised knee against the mat. And a whistleโ€ฆthen the feeling is gone.

Looks like @fireb0rn.bsky.social is going to have to rank Elder Hu higher on his HK boss tier list after this revelation.

Nepo baby and Eric Adam's crony, Jessica tisch, family is donating millions to Andrew Cuomo against Zohran mamdani.
Yet, Zohran still wants to keep her as head cop. Absolute buffoonery going on behind
DSA curtains.
Jeff Coltin @JCColtin โ€ข 1d
Will this stop Tisch family members from donating thousands of dollars to stop Mamdani? ($950k in the general!) My guess is no.

So I'm guessing this means Zohran won't be closing the NYPD's overseas branch in Kfar Saba, Israel, which is used for intelligence gathering and consulting servicesโ€” where American personnel routinely engage in joint training and exercises with Israeli police and military.

Zohran Mamdani says he'll keep an NYPD commissioner who teaches cops that watermelons and keffiyehs are antisemitic symbols. Everyone who told us to quiet down until he wins better be ready to protest him ...

A lot of us know what this is, but for the average person on here: circa 2015 the Alt Right (the explicitly NeoNazi wing especially) appropriated the obscure McDonaldโ€™s mascot from the 80s, and made it into a NeoNazi ridden meme.

So yes, this is straight NeoNazism being posted.

Funny and *very* convenient how Zombie ZA/UM allowed their workers to form a union *after* the owners kick out Kurvitz, Helen, Rostov, Martin, Argo, aka the original ZA/UM art collective.
