Banners emblazoned with such slogans as 'Stop Jewish Domination of Christian Americans,” 'Wake Up America. Smash Jewish Communism,' and '1,000,000 Bund Members by 1940' decorated the great hall.

"New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia—an Episcopalian with a Jewish mother—considered canceling the event, but ultimately he, along with the American Jewish Committee and the American Civil Liberties Committee [#ACLU] decreed that the Bund was exercising its right to free speech and free assembly.

As Election Nears, Kelly Warns #Trump Would Rule Like a #Dictator

#JohnKelly, the Trump White House’s longest-serving chief of staff, said that he believed that #DonaldTrump met the definition of a #fascist.

"In response to a question about whether he thought Mr. Trump was a fascist, Mr. Kelly first read aloud a definition of fascism that he had found online.

"'Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a #FarFight #authoritarian, #ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a #dictatorial leader, centralized #autocracy, #militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy,' he said."

American #DeathSquads’: Inside Trump’s Push to Make #Police More Violent

Trump’s recent call for a “#ViolentDay” of policing is part of his plan to push cops to be as brutal as possible and shield them from accountability

By Asawin Suebsaeng, Tim Dickinson

"In the final weeks of his 2024 campaign to retake the White House, Trump is now explicitly running on a platform of encouraging domestic law enforcement to initiate — with an idea that drew immediate comparisons this week to the #dystopian-horror movie series, #ThePurge — 'one really violent day' of policing to put the fear of god into retail thieves."
