Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

This is not Christianity. It's a death cult. You've started a death cult.

So I'm seeing criticism here for him blocking trans women but apparently it's better for trans women who are criticizing him for him to block them rather than quote tweet or argue with them? Am I correct here?

Then I was accused of dehumanizing. I really didn't come in here hoping for an argument, ironically, just figured i might get clarification that way. I think I might have, but not how you might expect..

Yep. Totally fair summary of what. Someone asked for an example of what you said he did, you are apparently very willing to post on here it seems but refused to do anything in response other than say you have your memory but.. someone else tried to provide a story but it didn't seem to line up...

Or ask why I'm getting stories from two different people that seem to be agreeing but disagreeing on what seem like important details. And then have folks assume you're the one picking a fight or even dehumanizing people..when you're literally just asking why some folks are trashing someone..

Trump congratulated a guy who is being pressured to resign, including by several GOP colleagues, over allegations that he coerced a sexual relationship with a staff member who later killed herself.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s β€œmisplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that ChatGPT conversations from the Tumbler Ridge teenager who carried out a horrific school shooting were flagged by employees at OpenAI.

They raised their concerns but the company ultimately did nothing, according to the reporting. archive.is/GUweE#select...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Dems should be explicit that when they retake Congress and the White House they will be stripping his name off of everything.

The ego damage would be significant

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

The rapid response networks DO NOT WORK if they are secretive, closed-off affairs. From the very beginning, they operated on the assumption that they are open, unvetted, and likely to contain both press and feds. This was fine - nothing illegal happens on them, it's simply reports of activity.
