"Nathan Phillips apparently wanted to defuse the tension and he walked up to do exactly that...Nick Sandman, he doesn't seem to be afraid, but he did make a choice, and that was the make it into a standoff. That was not a good choice." -- @ChrisCuomo
Cuomo goes on to rail against Trump for "propping up the kids as victims, you neglect that they were mainly victims of their own choices and actions."
Cuomo on Sandmann: "Hopefully he will never make a choice like this again."
And in the segue, Don Lemon continues blaming Sandmann: "The MAGA hat carries a certain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction for marginalized people."

And Dearborn mayor @AHammoudMI is opening ArabCon tonight. He recently berated a resident for criticizing the naming of a Dearborn street after pro-Hamas activist Osama Siblani.
This was the post from Gilkey over on Bluesky. It's from a pro-trans outlet called Assigned Media. The article is ""Charlie Kirk is Dead. Here's Why I'm Celebrating." And it includes a vile cartoon mocking his death.

Shadowy Left-Wing Network Funded Elias Rodriguez’s Trip to ‘Resistance’ Convention
New details here on Rodriguez's trip to the People's Congress of Resistance, where he met with "comrades" from pro-Hamas and other radical groups. 🧵
ANSWER Chicago, a subsidiary of ANSWER Coalition, organized a fundraiser for Rodriguez to attend the convention in Sept. 2017.
He spoke abt the conference at a meeting for the Party of Socialism and Liberation, per video reviewed by @FreeBeacon
Rodriguez's trip gives the earliest insight into his path to radicalism, which culminated in the cold-blooded murder of two Israeli diplomats at the Capital Jewish Museum.
In a GoFundMe, Rodriguez wrote of his father serving in Iraq in "genocidal imperialist wars."
Every bit of this is insane -- 1.) it's truly crazy that Brian Auten technically still has a job at FBI. He was among Crossfire Hurricane's worst offenders.
2.) NYT's framing is predictably laughable. They frame his suspension as "partisan" payback. nytimes.com/2025/04/11/us/…
Auten was the top intel analyst on the Trump-Russia probe. He aggressively pushed for the Steele dossier to be used in the investigation, and the FISA warrants.
He missed or ignored literally dozens of red flags about the dossier. He is either a very bad analyst, or corrupt.
I've asked on and off for the past four years whether Auten was still employed, but FBI always declined comment. I'm very surprised he does still have a job; I'd assumed maybe he was quietly fired or resigned.
Pepsi reviewed his role there in 2005 after a federal wiretap picked up two Sharpton associates claiming that Sharpton would grease the wheels for them to cash in on Pepsi's "minority mandates."
Sharpton, aware of his reputation, tried to head off allegations of a shakedown at his Pepsi boycott announcement Saturday.
"First thing right-wing is going to do is [say], 'Oh, this a shakedown."
