Victoire totale du mouvement social. La marche s'est rassemblée au nouveau point autorisé et déferle dans le calme sur plus de quatre kilomètres. Les provocations aux désordres du préfet de police et de Lecornu sont un échec total. Pour les autorités, il est temps de céder, sinon il ne leur restera bientôt que la porte de sortie.

YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇 WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

FYI, James Dolan doesn’t make the decision on phishing emails. There’s a cyber security department at a company as large as MSG Sports Corp. Non-story.

Montefiore cited “resources” as the reason it put the Norwood News on “indefinite hiatus.” But the local paper cost ~ $200K annually, less than most salaries at the affiliated nonprofit that ran it and millions less than they spent at McKinsey thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/…

Neighbors Reel After Bronx Behemoth Shutters Community Newspaper

Elbit is an Israeli defense tech firm whose product is essential to the Gaza slaughter. While this vandalism is politically motivated, is it a “hate crime”? Does @JulieMenin see a particular Israel defense contractor as synonymous with the Jewish people in general?

NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin on this morning’s vandalism of a Capital One branch on the Upper East Side, where windows were smashed and graffiti reading “DROP ELBIT” and “PAL ACTION” was left on the entrance: “What the NYPD is doing now is they're investigating it as a hate crime. They're gonna do a fast investigation; we appreciate their work on this, and the community is deeply concerned and upset about it.”
