All true. And a desperately needed societal correction.
Let’s be clear: If I’m not going to sleep with you, I don’t need to know anything about your sexuality. And children—who are not going to sleep with anyone—certainly don’t. Your sexuality is not sacred. It’s not a personality, it’s not a protected class of performance art, and it’s not the center of anyone’s moral universe but your own. Unless we are in a relationship, I am not obligated to acknowledge, affirm, or be exposed to your private desires—especially not in public, and especially not in front of children. This used to be understood. Now it’s called hate. No, We Don’t Owe You an Audience Sexuality belongs in the private realm. It is intimate by definition. If you feel compelled to wear your kink on your sleeve—or on a float, or in a first-grade classroom—you are not inviting understanding, you are demanding submission. You are violating others’ right not to participate. Consent doesn’t vanish because your fetish is “progressive.” If anything, the burden is higher. No one consents to being flashed on the subway. No one consents to a stranger’s arousal. No one consents to a stranger telling their child about masturbation, kink, gender identity, or pornographic categories under the guise of “inclusive sex ed.” Yet all of this is happening now—in public parks, in classrooms, in televised programming. It is not tolerance. It is invasion. Children Are Not Here to Validate You Children are not queer. Children are not sexual. Children do not need to “see themselves represented” in a spectrum of adult desire. This idea—that identity is only valid if sexualized and mirrored—is narcissism, not pedagogy. There is no legitimate reason to initiate a child into the language of sexual preference, gender identity, or alternative lifestyles. The only people who benefit from that dynamic are those looking to normalize boundary violations. Let me state it plainly: Children who are not going to have sex do not need to be exposed to sexuality. Period. Any adult who insists otherwise is not confused. They are grooming. Public Fetishism Is Not Liberation There is a vast difference between being gay and demanding the right to simulate sex acts in front of children. Between being transgender and insisting on teaching kindergartners about breast removal. Between being proud of who you are and insisting the whole world observe your kink play in the street. This is not diversity. This is decay. Men in dog masks being walked on leashes by their lovers are not brave—they are forcing strangers into their psychodrama. This is exhibitionism, and when children are present, it becomes criminal exhibitionism. We used to know this. Peeping, flashing, voyeurism—these were considered red flags. Dangerous behaviors. Early signs of escalation. Now they’re filmed, hashtagged, and funded by public grants. Stop Calling It Love—It’s Entitlement This is not about who you love. It’s about how you demand to be seen. If you need the entire public to witness, applaud, and adapt to your sexuality, you’re not a pioneer—you’re an emotional colonizer. Love does not demand a captive audience. It does not parade past toddlers. It does not demand that schools teach four-year-olds about “preferred pronouns.” Love protects children. Love guards modesty. Love waits. And if you can’t wait—if you need to be seen, affirmed, and obeyed—you’re not talking about love. You’re talking about power. Consent Applies to Culture, Too We teach children that consent is sacred—so why are we failing to apply that lesson to public life? No child consents to drag queen story hour. No parent consents to leather harnesses on city floats. No woman consents to being exposed to male sexuality in the ladies’ room, or in the school library, or anywhere she cannot opt out. Consent is not just for sex. It’s for everything. Attention. Language. Presence. Ideology. Imagery. And we are done pretending we don’t notice when it’s violated. The boundary is back. And we are drawing it in bold.

It’s worth noting that Mayor Mamdani never tweeted about the 32 year old mother stabbed and murdered outside her office at Bank of America in the summer, didn’t tweet about the man murdered at the 57th street subway stop this weekend or the Hasidic Jew who was followed and stabbed in broad daylight today in the diamond district. But did find time to tweet about Brad Landers foolish PR stunt in Israel. Anyone who cares about the safety of our city should be asking questions.
Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.  Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is. I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately. The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.  The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

I’ve had the chance to meet and listen to @sarithaforny several times during the course of the campaign. She’s amazing and NY could no better than to elect her as the next AG. Tell your friends about her, vote for her, donate if you can. secure.winred.com/saritha-fo…

Whole Foods on Chambers St. 6pm: Security guard, store employee, and the thief who is putting her stolen food in a suitcase. Part of the food affordability crisis is that grocery stores have to absorb this shoplifting when it goes unprosecuted. They pass the cost on to all of us.

We need a functioning Republican Party in NYC. This joker has an election in two weeks. 👇🤷‍♀️
Why is someone running for the United States Congress, was just 2 weeks to go to the elections, 6,000 miles away from their district???? Brad Lander and so many others abandon the needs of their constituents in favor of the DSA anti Israel social media mob.

There's a large Vietnamese community in France 🇫🇷. Vietnam was a French colony that was ruled more directly and for longer than Algeria in many respects. Vietnamese kids top the French education rankings, have some of the lowest unemployment of any immigrant group, and somehow managed not to set Paris on fire. Weird how some use “colonial trauma” as a reason to succeed and others treat it as a reason to riot
American-Egyptian activist Eman Mabrouk celebrates the riots in France: ''I think burn it all down, stop sucking European Master's dicks, liberation isn't going to be pretty, it's going to cost blood, it's going to cost lives.'' Really cool how this third world bio-weapon somehow gets a piece of paper calling her American even as she agitates for race war against white people. 70,000 Instagram likes! Also really fucking cool that so-called ''Australian'' citizen Dr. Mo Mustafa - widely known as the "Beast from the Middle East'' - collaborated with her on this Instagram reel. He calls himself an Australian for the benefits of the passport while endorsing videos like this which call for explicit race war against Europeans. Western immigration policy has been a catastrophe for decades, how the fuck did these people get passports when they hate us this much.

For @nhannahjones, @AppleseedNy and @BellVoices, racial balancing is an end, rather than a means to improve education. This conflicts with families who prioritize academic rigor and learning over demographics. A charter school serving mostly low-income black students might produce excellent academic outcomes while remaining racially homogeneous. That's not a failure! But Appleseed et al. want to restrict school choice and eliminate academic screens in order to force families into schools with their ideal racial quotas. This is exactly Jim Crow policy euphemized as "anti-racist".

❤️❤️❤️ This is the way.
🚨 Woke Alert: A Massachusetts school investigated and decided that a boy that pretending to be a girl taunting, teasing, and finally opening the stall door on Luis Rivera's nine year old daughter was simply "a 9-year-old student opening an unlocked bathroom stall." Luis describes it as voyeuristic, and he has filed a Title IX complaint, put signs on every post in town, and shown up to every school committee meeting since May. This is insane, and he is right to keep fighting.

So… don’t shop at grocery stores. Join a co-op. Purchase a CSA membership from a farm. Go live on a farm. Don’t eat tropical fruit, or any fruit in the winter, unimaginable luxuries that have become commonplace. Also go live somewhere where they don’t recall foods that have been identified with pathogens. (Does she not realize that grocery stores don’t make the food, and when there’s a recall, it’s the manufacturer or the farm?) The arrogance and self-righteousness combined with delusion is hard to take.
Until the 1950's you had to put crops in jars of vinegar and store them in a hole underground so you could eat in the winter. We need the youth to stop pretending to be victims and learn how life was and why it's so much easier for them, not harder. xitter.cf/LeeKuanYimby/status/21…

Can someone explain the 50 page, bilingual, color Voter Guide that I just got—the one that correctly says on the cover that my council district is 1 but has only candidates from only one race(!)—council district 3. Not my district! Spectacularly unhelpful. They spend our money so lavishly and have no quality controls. @NYCCFB @BOENYC

I’ve been to the Louvre. I’ve stood in front of the Winged Victory of Samothrace. But my children have not. Europe, France, men of the West, are you going to protect the inheritance for future generations? Or let the plunderers, for whom you threw open the gates, continue to destroy it?

I watched You Can See Everything this morning/afternoon. It’s long! And worth every second. Go see it soon. Before you read too much about it. It is something entirely new, and it is creepy, and funny, and deeply thoughtful.

There was a fix everything button after all. It was always there. All anyone ever had to do was push it.
Pour la première fois, le taux d'homicide au Salvador va passer en dessous de celui de la France en 2026. Il était 100x supérieur en 2015.
