Philly DA Larry Krasner threatens ICE agents working at the airport with arrest: "The president cannot pardon you. I will put you in handcuffs. And if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell." Krasner was promising to hunt down ICE agents like Nazis a couple of months ago.

Lots of peoples are good at holding grudges for an inordinately long time, but you have to respect the Jewish ability to get _other_ people to care about trivialities like this four decade old ethnic grudge against Roald Dahl for getting angry over Israel's 1982 Lebanon invasion.

NEW: The LAPD is setting up drivers by having someone walk across the street in an "unmarked crosswalk" so they can then give tickets to people who don't stop. "Recently, LAPD Van Nuys division conducted a Pedestrian Enforcement Taskforce," they shared online. The LAPD says the trap was made to "promote education" after they've "had a string of accidents that have resulted in fatal or severe injuries related to pedestrians."

There’s been a lot of noise and misinformation about what was said at our antisemitism press conference, so let us be clear. People of all faiths stood together for one purpose: to say no to antisemitism. Not quietly. Not conditionally. Clearly and unequivocally. This is not about politics or constitutional debates. It’s about what we, as people, are willing to accept. Antisemitic speech should never be normalized. When it shows up—on the street, in the workplace, or online—we have a responsibility to confront it, not ignore it. The photo that’s been circulating was shared with us by someone who received direct, threatening communication. It was used to illustrate a larger point: antisemitism is being mainstreamed in ways that should concern every one of us. That information was forwarded to another police agency that already had a felony warrant for that individual. We have had no role in that case or arrest. Let us also be clear: posting that image was not a crime, and it was not treated as one. But it is a symptom of a growing problem—one where too many people look the other way, or worse, lend their support. The hateful responses we’ve seen since only reinforce that reality. Don’t hide behind the First or Second Amendment to deflect from the issue. That’s not what this is about. This is about standing up for your neighbors—whether they are Jewish or not—and refusing to accept hate as normal.

For people that are whining that someone was arrested for posting a meme; sorry to disappoint. Not even for threatening, racist, AND anti-semitic comments. He had a prior outstanding felony stalking warrant on something completely unrelated, which drew local police attention to him when someone complained.
