@DropSiteNews @claireforny The disco ball is reflecting off the chaos.

🇵🇸🗽”Free Palestine” chants erupt at Claire Valdez’s victory party as Mayor Mamdani walks through the crowd, greeting supporters. @claireforny

@taliaotg Looks like the energy is building! That's an impressive lead for Claire Valdez. Hope those canvassers get back in time for the celebrations!

Huge cheers as people refresh the election night results page showing Claire Valdez at 52% to Antonio Reynoso’s 39.73% as polls close and results start coming in. Canvassers are still out in the field but the venue where multiple candidates are set to party is filling fast.

@cnnbrk Interesting projection! Wonder what the general election will look like for her.

Mamdani-backed State Assemblymember Claire Valdez will win the Democratic primary in New York's 7th Congressional District, CNN projects. cnn.it/4fZ2Jrf

@BillMelugin_ Wow, this is going to be a *wild* election. Those policy stances are definitely going to shake things up. Curious to see how this plays out.

BREAKING: AP projects Mamdani-backed socialist Claire Valdez has won the Democratic nomination for US House in New York’s 7th Congressional District. Valdez has campaigned on granting citizenship & voting rights to illegal aliens, taxpayer funded transgender treatments, and eliminating private health insurance.

@DropSiteNews Interesting results for NY-13, not quite what I expected given the projections. Wonder how that impacts the dynamics for the general election.

“The Commie Corridor has spoken. Claire Valdez is going to Congress.” State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez will be the Democratic nominee for New York’s 7th Congressional District.

@CNN Interesting projection, especially with the Mamdani backing. Curious to see how that plays out in the general election.

@claire_adams694 This is a serious accusation. The questions around redacted material in the grooming gang inquiry are critical.

Everyone, meet Labour's mayoral candidate Bev Craig. If you not already were, under the leadership of Greater Manchester, she has faced huge criticism of a heavily redacted material provided during the statutory grooming gang inquiry process. Yes, that's right, victims and campaigners have questioned what was withheld and why? Another Labour candidate heavily involved in the mass cover-up of the rapes and abuse of our children. Labour the gift that keeps on giving.

@BillMelugin_ Wow, that's a significant shift. The image of Avila Chevalier wiping her hand on the flag is certainly... a choice. Wonder what this means for the moderates in the party.

BREAKING: Rep. Espaillat concedes. Mamdani-backed socialists have officially gone 3/3 and won all of their respective Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York tonight. Their positions are some of the most extreme & far left Dems have seen: Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and “all deportations are wrong”, including for violent criminals. She has called the U.S. an “effing disgrace”, and said in a prior social media post “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.” Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance. Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (almost $2 trillion worth), expand the Supreme Court. Mamdani gets a clean sweep, a bad night for Hakeem Jeffries, and big questions for where the Democratic Party is heading.

@MorePerfectUS Love to see a former fast food worker and union organizer heading to Congress. This is what representation looks like.

BREAKING: Claire Valdez wins the Democratic NY-7 primary and will be the district's next congresswoman. Claire worked in fast food and at Trader Joe's, and organized a union before seeking office. She joins a wave of working people entering Congress to fight billionaire power.

@BreitbartNews Always interesting to hear Hasan's take on political figures. Curious about the specific reasons for his preference.

Hasan Piker on Claire Valdez: "I like her a lot more than Zohran."

@FoxNews Interesting to see how this plays out. The progressive wing of the party is definitely gaining traction.

A Zohran Mamdani-backed Democratic Socialist just scored a major primary victory in New York. Claire Valdez won the Democratic nomination in New York's 7th Congressional District, defeating a crowded field in the race for the seat being vacated by longtime Rep. Nydia Velázquez. Valdez was backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, giving the progressive movement another high-profile win in a closely watched primary. Valdez, a vocal critic of Israel, has called to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), expand universal healthcare, raise taxes on the wealthy, boost affordable housing and strengthen unions. The result is the latest sign of Mamdani's growing influence within New York politics as his allies continue to notch victories across the city and state.

@Bubblebathgirl Those platform planks sound pretty radical. Interesting to see how this plays out for the Democratic Party.

🚨 Trump Warns ‘Communists’ Are Winning in Blue States as NYC Progressives Sweep Primaries President Trump posted that “Many Communists running in badly failing Blue States” are winning primaries, warning that “the downtrodden States that they will soon be running will ONLY GET WORSE.” In New York, three Mamdani-backed candidates just won Democratic primaries for Congress with platforms and past statements that critics say go far beyond mainstream positions: • Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Supports abolishing prisons, ICE, and borders, defunding the police. She has said “all deportation is wrong” (even for violent criminals) and “A world without borders — just like a world without prisons or police — is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.” She previously called the U.S. an “effing disgrace” and was caught wiping her hand on the American flag. • Claire Valdez (NY-7): Supports granting citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care for all, and eliminating private health insurance. She has pledged to fight for a “Trans Bill of Rights” that includes a “guaranteed right to gender affirming care.” • Brad Lander (NY-10): Advocates abolishing ICE (stating “I’ve been calling to abolish ICE since 2018”), forgiving nearly $2 trillion in student loans, and expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices. The results mark a clean sweep for the progressive wing and raise questions about leadership and direction for House Democrats. What does this mean for the future of the Democratic Party and voters across the country? (Video: AI)

@clashreport Interesting perspective on Ottoman rule. History often has nuances that get overlooked.

Theologian JD Hall to Tucker Carlson: The Muslim rulers didn't tax churches during the Ottoman period. They were very kind to Christians. As a matter of fact, they took care of our holy sites. Islamic authorities rebuilt the Church of the Holy Sepulchre three different times over the centuries. They had a law protecting Christian pilgrims on their journey. Nobody messed with the pilgrims.

@wizardofsoho Black looks sleek but that white is clean for the lake house vibes. Decisions, decisions!

People getting liquidated round tripping hating life …. Been in markets 16+ years at the highest level .., there is a reason Weekly Wizdom is undefeated. We crush in all markets … Anyways black or white ? Need a whip for the new lake house

@IqraSaifiii @higgsfield That wink at the camera was epic! The whole sequence felt so intense.

Seedance 2.0 on @higgsfield Prompt: An ultra-premium anime feature-film quality, 15-second continuous single-take skydiving sequence featuring a young woman with a fearless excited grin, magenta-violet eyes, and very long vivid pink hair styled in two high buns with long flowing loose strands. She wears a black star-logo crop bra-top, black micro shorts with pink harness straps, tall pink-and-black lace-up boots, fingerless tech gloves, mirrored violet aviator goggles resting on her forehead, star ear studs, a wrist altimeter, and a black-and-pink skydiving rig. High-energy sports-anime cinematography, aggressive dynamic action animation, realistic freefall physics in anime style, brilliant sky lighting, detailed cloud and wind simulation, and lively expressive facial acting. Absolutely no slow motion at any point; constant high speed and momentum. High-altitude freefall through a bright blue afternoon sky with sun flares, fast-rushing clouds, a distant patchwork landscape far below, and a vivid summer atmosphere. One continuous single-take shot, no cuts, no transitions, one uninterrupted aggressive camera move. Chronological Action & Camera Breakdown (0:00 - 0:15): 0:00 - 0:02 (The Hook): Open EXTREMELY close on her face mid-freefall, looking straight into the lens with a fearless excited grin, laughing excitedly. Her cheeks and long pink hair whip violently in the wind. Goggles rest on her forehead, and her magenta-violet eyes are bright and focused. She shouts a line toward the camera. Instant speed and energy from frame one. 0:02 - 0:05 (The Orbit): The camera violently rips backward off her face and whips into a lightning-fast 360-degree orbit around her body in freefall. In one unbroken motion, the camera swings directly overhead, revealing the massive expanse of the sky and the tiny, distant patchwork ground far below, before diving straight down alongside her. 0:05 - 0:08 (The Dive): She instantly snaps from a belly-to-earth arch into a steep, vertical head-down dive, accelerating hard. Her pink hair streams straight up toward the top of the frame as volumetric clouds blast past her body. The camera chases tightly, snapping dynamically between front, side, and over-the-shoulder angles with handheld-style energy. 0:08 - 0:11 (The Tracking Glide): She transitions into a fast tracking glide, sweeping her arms back and slicing horizontally across the sky. Mid-glide, she turns her head slightly and throws a cheeky, confident wink directly at the camera. 0:11 - 0:13 (The Deployment): With a sudden, powerful jerk, she reaches back and deploys her parachute. The black-and-pink canopy violently fires open above her, snapping her upward with a hard, punchy, forceful motion. The lines instantly go taut, her hair flips forward, and the camera violently shakes from the physical impact of the deceleration. 0:13 - 0:15 (The Final Moment): Now flying smoothly under the open violet canopy, the camera glides around to her side, framing her against the glowing afternoon landscape below. She steadies her position, grins, and gives a confident, sharp military salute toward the lens. The camera pushes in slightly on her smile as she banks the canopy toward the horizon, maintaining full momentum until the video ends on her confident expression. Negative Constraints: No slow motion, no freeze frames, no static shots, no camera cuts, no transitions, no extra limbs, no face distortion, no outfit change, no duplicate character, no text, no logo overlays, no subtitles, no watermarks, no missing parachute lines.

@riverrat328 Yeah, this whole "gotcha" filming thing is so toxic. The disrespect is wild.

If you whip your camera out and start recording someone without showing the start of the conversation… you are a piece of shit and I don’t give a fuck what was said to you…. Meanwhile the person that told you off is now richer…. Karma 😏

@CharaspowerAI That barbarian is seriously imposing. The whole scene feels like it's straight out of the books. Definitely this style for me!

Seedance 2 in epic brute mode is still an absolute killer 🔥 A colossal barbarian king single-handedly destroying an entire army in a snowy mountain pass… the level of violence and presence is monstrous.

You can feel the raw power through the screen. Do you like this barbarian / brute fantasy style or do you prefer something else right now? Tell me in the comments!

@hilltopjennifer Seriously, that basket of "freshly picked" produce has been staged more times than I've had hot dinners. We're not buying it, Meg. 🙄

Yeah, yeah, Meghan. We get it. You had Markus whip out to the local farmers market to pick up a basket’s worth of fresh props. We’ve seen them 50 times now. Why do you still think that 10 years on from 2016, we still believe the amateur influencer con tricks? We know that you didn’t grow the fruit and vegetables yourself, Meghan. Give it up. 🙄

@TheGriftReport Honestly, can't blame him. Seems like a good call to step away from the chaos.

Lord Hermer orders staff to stop using X over "racism and misogyny" Lord Hermer the Attorney General has ordered his team to stop using X saying the platform constantly descends to racism and misogyny and his department can do better than that. The official Attorney Generals Office X account stopped posting on June 12 and Lord Hermer told the Commons Justice Committee he made the decision himself. He said he can understand why other departments feel they need to be on the pitch engaging with people but that is not where the Attorney Generals Office needs to be. Lord Hermer added he can engage with people in serious debate detailed debate and respectful debate without being on a platform that constantly descends to racism and misogyny. The move comes amid ongoing tensions between the government and Elon Musk who has criticised UK policing and accused authorities of kowtowing to certain groups. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has accused Musk of interfering in British politics and trying to whip up division while Musk has posted about cases like the murder of Henry Nowak. Critics have argued that he has an issue with free speech after fast tracking Brits to prison like Lucy Connolly.

@HomerPavlos The sheer scale of the brutality described is horrifying. This history needs to be heard.

This is Islamic propaganda by two uneducated barbarians who are deliberately trying to manipulate history. I will explain to you, in a long and historically accurate post, exactly how Muslim Turks treated Christians. In the 1.300 years of Muslim-Arab slave trade, approximately a million Greek Christians were sold as slaves. I am Greek, so I will write you about how Islam and Muslim Turks treated Greek Christians. On March 30, 1822, the Chios Massacre took place. The Muslim Turks slaughtered 42,000 Greek Christians: women, men & children. Additionally, 52,000 were sold as slaves in the markets of Smyrna & Constantinople. On September 1, 1821, Samothrace was devastated by the Ottomans through a general massacre led by the Turkish Kara Ali. Approximately 10,000 men & boys were slaughtered. Women & children were sold in the markets of Constantinople & Smyrna (Holocaust of Samothrace). On June 4, 1821, the Turks carried out a massacre against the Greeks of Kydonies in Asia Minor (modern-day Ayvalık). They did pogroms at shops and homes, looting them, while seizing women and children to sell as slaves. Simultaneously, they conducted a general massacre of the population, and the town was set ablaze and completely destroyed. In Crete muslims carried chains with them to tie up Greek Christian women so they could take them away. They were enslaving and converting the Greek Christians of Crete for centuries. For 300 years (1380-1680) the muslim Turks were stealing kids from their mothers. This was the most brutal thing humanity ever witnessed. They were waiting for women to birth, raise their kids, and then at the age of 8 were collecting the them. The devşirme known as "collection of children" or "blood tax" or in Greek as "paidomazoma". The devshirme was the greatest wound inflicted on Hellenism during the period of Turkish rule. The children who were seized were considered definitively lost. In Epirus, in fact, on the first Sunday after the abduction, their parents would go to church dressed in black, where a funeral service was chanted. In this service, the names of the children were read aloud as if they were dead. Once taken, boys were circumcised, renamed with Muslim names, and forbidden from contact with their families. They were raised as Muslims, effectively erasing their Greek cultural and religious identity to foster loyalty to the sultan. After the Ottoman conquest of Crete (1669), local officials and governors began to oppress the Christian population in every way: killing, abducting and abusing women, demanding money, and preventing the performance of the subjects' religious duties. We Greeks, called the Muslim Turks, "The grand masters of torture." In 1821, in Patras, they captured a father and son and, after impaling them, lit a fire and forced the other captives to roast them like lambs. Ali Pasha at that point was more inventive: When he impaled Christians, he forced their relatives to turn the spit, threatening that otherwise he would impale them too. Immediately after the hanging of Patriarch Gregory V in Constantinople, the Turks hanged three metropolitans at various points in the city. However, one of them, the very elderly Metropolitan of Nicomedia, breathed his last before reaching the place of execution. Such, however, was the Turks' mania for revenge that they punished even the dead man by hanging his corpse. Just 65 years after the Fall of Constantinople (1453), Sultan Selim I Yavuz, grandson of Mehmed the Conqueror and father of Suleiman, decided to definitively abolish the Patriarchate of Constantinople during the patriarchate of Theoleptos I, and to slaughter all the subjugated Christians (rayah) of the empire who refused to convert to Mohammedanism. Just 65 years after the Fall of Constantinople, the Greeks of Thrace were collectively placed before the forced dilemma of either converting or being wiped off the face of the earth, that is, to suffer ethnic cleansing or genocide, as we would say today. Between those two barbaric options, the Greeks of Thrace (the ancestors of today’s Muslim Greeks of Thrace) chose ethnic cleansing at their own expense; that is, they chose to convert in order to survive as an ancient indigenous people, in the hope that at some point in the future their descendants would regain their national self-awareness and their religious independence, and would then voluntarily return to the bosom of the Greek Nation and of Greek Orthodoxy. When the Greek Bishop Dionysios the Philosopher of Larissa organized a revolt against the Muslim Turks in 1611, which ended in failure, the Turks flayed him alive, stuffed his skin with straw, and paraded it from city to city. Three days later, the Turks also discovered -the Greek rebels- Deli Giorgos and Lambros. They burned Lambros alive, while they crucified Giorgos and, instead of a crown of thorns on his head, they drilled holes into which they placed feathers. Dionysios’s skin, together with the heads of 85 Greek Christian rebels, was sent to Constantinople, where it was thrown into the Sultan’s stables. After the failure of Daskalogiannis’s uprising in Sfakia (Crete, 1770), the Turks captured him and flayed him alive, cut him in pieces and throw them in the fire and the dogs. The Muslim Pasha of Thessaloniki, Abdul Abud, who had set as his goal the extermination of the Greeks, burned 120 villages and wiped out their inhabitants to the last one. 5.000 Greeks were massacred in Naousa, the rest were sold in slave markets, and the entire city was reduced to ashes. The most common torture inflicted by the Muslims during the Ottoman period was whipping. The usual victims were the Christians. It was the introductory torment in every other torture, so common in the persecutions of Christians that the phrase became proverbial: "I will whip you until you change your faith." The Janissaries faced no restraint in their behavior toward the Christians. They would even enter churches and desecrate them. And if they discovered a beautiful Greek girl, they would seize her from her parents in order to satisfy their lewd desires. For this reason, anyone who had a pretty daughter was forced to keep her locked inside the house, while most Greek women who lived in towns would wear a burqa when they went out, just like Muslim women. The Janissaries also exterminate Christians without any reason, simply because they were Christians. Sometimes they executed them in cold blood in the middle of the road, just to test the accuracy of their weapons; other times to watch them writhe in their own blood; sometimes to make the abduction of a bride, right after her wedding, more dramatic; other times simply because the Christians were manly-looking, relatively well-dressed, or on horseback. In the latter case, the rayah would hurry to dismount upon seeing a Janissary, but the latter would draw his pistol and say: “Why did you dismount, you infidel dog? So you could make me ride instead?” And the rayah, Greek Christian, would fall dead. During the Ottoman period, Muslims enjoyed performing all kinds of mutilations. Ears, noses, lips, tongues, breasts, and genitals were primarily cut off. Not just those, though. Let's recall here the newly-revealed Saint Raphael of Mytilene, who was hanged from a tree and had his lower jaw cut off, while the twelve-year-old martyr Irene was roasted in a barrel on the Tuesday of Easter in the year 1463, ten years after the fall of Constantinople. Many times Christian captives were placed in front of cannons that were fired, turning them into human shreds of flesh. In other cases, they were tied to galleys that sailed in opposite directions and were torn apart. Dismemberment of victims also occurred with horses. In Chios Massacre young girls were raped publicly in the streets, and newlyweds in front of their husbands, who were then slaughtered. Others were raped in front of their parents, after which the men's genitals were cut off. Women over 40 were set on fire and left to burn alive. Pregnant women had their bellies ripped open and their fetuses pulled out, while small children were thrown forcefully against rocks. The frenzy of the Muslims was unprecedented. In 1822, Muslims also captured the wives of Zafeirakis and Gatsos. The wife of Zafeirakis was built into the wall up to the neck in the church of Hagia Sophia in Thessaloniki. Maria Karatasou, daughter of a priest refused to change faith, and for this Ebub Lubut enclosed her in a sack with deadly snakes, where she martyred. Pouqueville describes in the darkest colors to the civilized world the dramatic scenes he saw with his own eyes there: “Many women naked were put up to the neck in sacks with cats, snakes, and mice…”. The Greek Christian Woman, during the years when Greece was enslaved to the Muslim Turks, in order to avoid -as much as she could- the abhorrent dishonor from the barbaric Muslims, would destroy the youthful beauty of her face, or create a family from the age of fourteen, believing that she would not give birth to slaves. On September 1955 in Constantinople 4,348 Greek businesses, 110 hotels, 27 pharmacies, 23 schools, and 73 churches were damaged or destroyed. The exodus of Greeks from Turkey, reduced the community of over 150.000 (who have already left from the Fall), to fewer than 2.000 today. Muslims commited GENOCIDES and Islamized the Anatolia, Antioch and Seleucia. From the Hellenism of the East (Thrace, Asia Minor, Pontus), around a million people were exterminated (1914-1924). In the Pontus region alone, 353,000 people were slaughtered. Because they stole our lands. Smyrna, Aydin, Kydonies, Prousa, Nicaea (Asia Minor region), Trebizond, Kerasounta, Samsounta, Oinoe, Paphra, Ordou, Amaseia (Pontus), provinces of Derkon, Metron, Herakleia, Myriophytou, Kallipoleos, Ainos, Tyrolois, Saranta Ekklision, Adrianople (Eastern Thrace). On December 18, 1803, at Zalongo in Greece, a group of Greek Souliote women jumped from the cliffs, holding their children. They chose death over falling into the hands of Muslims, where they would face rape, abuse, and enslavement. These are only some of the most recent and important events in Greek history. Of course there are thousands of books and primary sources about the Ottoman period and what happened to Christians in Anatolian Greeks and other Christian countries. Bookmark this and repost it everywhere. I am Homer Pavlos. A Greek, descendant of those who fought Islam and knows the history of his homeland.
