Zohran’s First 100 Days Of Sewer Socialism Success In New York City
This is what working for the people, working for the public means. This is what representing the will of the people / public looks like. This is what is attracting the people / public voters to the democrats, yet Chuck Schumer as yet to endorse Mamdani. Why? Because the two are the opposite sides of the political coin.ย One wants to serve and represent the people / public and the other is a corporate democrat beholden to big money donors and major lobbyist groups.ย Same with Hakeem Jerofies who only endorsed Mamdani when on election night it became clear he would be the winner.ย Hugs
Israel Has Created Hell On Earth
This is a doctor working in Gaza.ย He describes the conditions. The Israelis are sniping World Health doctors. Israelis are moving the “yellow line” that they are claiming is the new boundary line between Israel and Palestinians.ย They are slowly moving the line deeper ad deeper into Gaza.ย The Israeli snipers were shooting the young boys in different areas on different days, now they are using drones to fire on young children alone with horrific results. Remember from the last clip he was saying how Israel is blocking and destroying the medical supplies and equipment. Israel is deliberately shooting and killing children.ย They want the chaos it causes, they like the fear it promotes, and they like that no new generations of Palestinians are growing. The doctor spoke of other atrocities that Israel is inflicting daily on the Palestinians.ย Israel is a criminal nation doing a genocide, and much of our democratic leadership is deeply in the pockets of AIPAC.ย Notice that Hakeem Jeffries was also at the same event.ย People here have asked why I am so anti-democratic leadership; this is one of the reasons why. They are beholden to the big money donors and lobbies doing their bidding while ignoring the desires and will of the people they are supposed to represent, not rule over.ย Hugs
Senate Minority Leaderย Chuck Schumerย has emphasized his commitment to maintaining pro-Israel sentiments within theย Democratic Party. In recent statements,ย Schumerย articulated that his role is to ensure that the left remains supportive of Israel, a position he conveyed during an interview withย The New York Times. This assertion reflects a broader concern regarding the changing dynamics of the Democratic Party’s support for Israel and Jewish causes. Schumer’s comments have sparked discussions about the implications of this shift, particularly in light of the party’s historical alignment with pro-Israel policies. Opinion pieces have noted that Schumer views the preservation of American institutions as integral to protecting religious minorities, highlighting the intersection of Jewish identity and political advocacy.ย https://deepnewz.com/middle-east/chuck-schumer-emphasizes-role-keeping-left-pro-israel-says-job-to-keep-the-left-f0ff217c
โI have many jobs as [Senate] leader… and one is to fight for aid to Israel โ all the aid that Israel needs,โ Schumer said at a gathering of Jewish leaders and community members in New York on Sunday.
โI will continue to fight for it.,โ Schumer continued. โWe delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, than ever, ever before.โ
According to Jacob Kornbluh, who provided footage of the remarks whileย reportingย forย The Forward, Schumer told the audience that his support for Jewish security funding will only continue growing under his leadership, calling it his โbaby.โย https://www.commondreams.org/news/schumer-israel-aid
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) said on Sunday that one of his most important jobs as Senate minority leader is to โfight for aid to Israel,โ as the Trump administrationโs masked federal agents continue their deadly raids of the U.S. with little to no pushback from Democrats.
In remarks atย a breakfast gathering of Jewish leadersย in New York City, Schumerย said, โI have many jobs as leader โฆ and one is to fight for aid to Israel, all the aid that Israel needs.โ Part of the remarks at the โโUJA-Federation of New York gathering were posted online byย The Forward reporter Jacob Kornbluh.

Owlets Hatch At The Wildflower Center Great Horned Owl Nest
The Great Horned Owl Cam just got a whole lot cuter this week thanks to two new arrivals. Athena, the female owl, stood watch over the nest as her first egg hatched a down-covered owlet on April 8 after 34 days of incubation. The second owlet arrived two days later, on April 10. Over the next six weeks, viewers will get an intimate look at the nestling period of one of the skyโs most formidable predators.
This marks Athenaโs sixteenth consecutive season nesting with her mate in a sotol planter above the courtyard of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. It is also the third year in a row that she has successfully hatched a pair of owlets on camera since the stream launched in 2024.
At hatch, the owlets are covered in white natal down and are largely helpless. They begin to raise their heads after about three days and may start snapping their bills and casting pellets of indigestible material within the first week. Their eyes remain closed until about 9โ11 days old, and they rely on Athena to keep them warm and fed during their first weeks.
(snip-how owlets grow, etc.)
Watch the owls journey through the breeding season live on theย Great Horned Owl Cam, and follow daily updates onย Twitter/Xย andย Mastodon.
