Seattle’s new socialist mayor, Katie Wilson, has been going viral quite a bit in the last few weeks and for all the wrong reasons.

I know violent crime videos proliferate on social media these days, but this one is especially hard to watch.

Democrats’ heated rhetoric may have contributed to the Palisades Fire—but not by warming the global climate.

When the Los Angeles-area fire burned 23,707 acres, destroyed 6,833 structures, and killed 12 people, those on the left rushed to blame it on man-made climate change. Only later did we learn that the human causation was far more direct.

Yes, the Palisades Fire, like the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the attempts on President Donald Trump’s life, and the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, is yet another example of leftist political violence.

The Department of Education opened an investigation into Smith College, probing whether the women’s college discriminated on the basis of sex by admitting men who claim to identify as transgender women.

“Smith College, while still portraying itself as a women’s-only institution, admits natal men who feel like women, and on nothing more than their say-so,” Sarah Parshall Perry, vice president and legal fellow at Defending Education, told The Daily Signal in a Tuesday statement on the investigation. “That renders the gains of second-wave feminists who fought for Title IX mere relics of ancient history.”

“Title IX was a historic achievement for women’s equality in education, but Smith College seems to have forgotten that,” added Perry, who filed the complaint that led the department to open the probe.

“The college’s linguistic gymnastics are jaw-dropping, and as a recipient of federal funding, it must follow federal law—state law to the contrary notwithstanding,” she added. “We look forward to the Department of Education’s resolution of the claims against Smith.”

A Turkish state-run Islamic association is celebrating its 40th anniversary in Hamburg from May 14 to 17. While the city has provided a public square for the cultural event, the extremist guest list has sparked major controversy.

Although four of the DITIB’s six original speakers were recently disinvited, critics warn that the remaining guests hold extremist and antisemitic views. Islam expert Eren Güvercin highlighted that Furkan Tira?ç?, a Turkish müezzin, has downplayed the Hamas-led October 7 massacre and praised its leader Ismail Haniyeh as a “martyr,” while comparing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hitler.

Another speaker, Mahmut Sa??r, reportedly used classic antisemitic tropes, referring to a “cursed community” that has “soaked the world in blood for centuries.” With these fanatics onboard, the event continues to face backlash for providing a platform to individuals who glorify terror and spread hate under the guise of religious scholarship.

Sharia “moral police” must be stopped in Europe, a Swedish MEP has warned, as he demands Brussels track and expose groups accused of harassing residents.

Sweden Democrats (SD) MEP Charlie Weimers said an “EU-wide monitoring framework” should be established to count individuals working to implement strict sharia rules, accusing them of “harassment, intimidation, and threats.”

Weimers describes these “self-appointed moral police” as “immoral thugs,” and claims they have been “surveilling neighbourhoods,” with the overall goal being that “sharia shall dominate here in Europe.”

The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Louisiana v. Callais may dramatically alter congressional districts in Southern states. Writing for a 6-3 majority, Justice Samuel Alito unraveled decades of confusing and misguided caselaw construing the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) to hold that states may not engage in racial gerrymandering—or be forced to do so by federal courts—when drawing congressional districts. The Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause forbids race-based discrimination, Alito pointedly declared, preventing Section 2 of the VRA from being interpreted to require the creation of “majority-black” districts to comply with the VRA.

Congress enacted the VRA in 1965 (pursuant to Section 2 of the 15th Amendment) to prohibit states from disenfranchising blacks through obstacles such as poll taxes, literacy tests, property qualifications, white primaries, and grandfather clauses—not to create electoral parity, a long-standing position of Justice Clarence Thomas’s that he repeated in his concurring opinion in Callais. As Justice Alito wrote for the majority, the “Voting Rights Act does not guarantee equal outcomes.”

Contrary to the claims of partisan critics, the decision in Louisiana v. Callais does not “gut” or “hollow out” the VRA. Nor, contrary to Justice Elena Kagan’s hysterical dissent, does the majority in Callais “eviscerate” the VRA or render Section 2 “all but a dead letter.” Justice Alito’s meticulous majority opinion merely prevents the VRA from being abused to dictate “proportional representation”—that is, racial quotas—contrary to the express language of Section 2, which states that “nothing in this section establishes a right to have members of a protected class elected in numbers equal to their proportion in the population.”

Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most permissive cities, where prostitution is celebrated and going to a ‘coffee shop’ regularly involves getting high on cannabis.

It’s hardly surprising, then, that the city’s decision to ban public adverts for meat—alongside fossil fuel products such as petrol cars and airline travel—has been met with a mix of ridicule and outright condemnation.

Green officials say the move is part of their broader climate strategy. But Belgian MEP Barbara Bonte on Monday said that it more closely resembles “what happens when people with zero-point-zero sense of reality and way too much free time get bored.”

No More Meat and Fossil Fuel Ads in Amsterdam Streets
British foreign policy analyst—and former aide to Margaret Thatcher—Nile Gardiner described the ban as “insane,” while Prague politician Ond?ej Kubín pointed to the contradiction: “In Amsterdam, you can buy a joint and choose a prostitute from a window, but the city won’t sell you advertising space for a hamburger because it has a large carbon footprint.”

Writer André Assi Barreto also predicted that “meat will be treated publicly in the future as the cigarette is today.” And Christopher Snowdon, from Britain’s Institute of Economic Affairs, said the move vindicated those who warned that banning cigarette adverts “would lead to cranks banning adverts for anything they dislike.”

Now, activists are already pushing to extend the ban beyond Amsterdam, with some campaigners in Britain urging Labour to adopt similar restrictions nationwide and calling on other cities to follow suit.

A disused London synagogue was the site of an arson attack early Tuesday, police said, adding to a string of incidents targeting Jews and Jewish sites in the city.

The Metropolitan Police said its officers responded to a call at 5:15 a.m. local time about a fire set outside the Nelson Street Synagogue in London’s East End, once home to a large community of Jewish immigrants.

The synagogue closed in 2020. A Muslim group announced earlier this year that it had put down a deposit to buy the building and turn it into a mosque and education center.

The fire was quickly extinguished, causing no injuries and only light damage to the building’s gates and lock, the police said, adding that counter terrorism officials would pick up the investigation.

President Trump’s gambit to push out of office several of the Indiana Republicans who defied his redistricting efforts appeared to largely succeed on Tuesday.

Five of the Indiana state senators who voted against redrawing the state’s House maps last year lost their Republican primaries on Tuesday, ousted by Trump-endorsed primary challengers, The Associated Press projected. A sixth Trump-supported candidate also won the GOP primary in an open seat where a Republican who rejected redistricting decided not to run for reelection.

One senator survived a primary challenge backed by the president on Tuesday. One primary between an anti-redistricting Republican and a Trump endorsee did not have a projected winner as of late Tuesday, with the two candidates separated by a razor-thin margin.

The Statehouse revenge campaign served as a test of Mr. Trump’s influence over his party in a set of normally low-profile races where Oval Office intervention is virtually unheard of — and highlighted Mr. Trump’s intense interest in the nationwide redistricting scramble.

The New York Times (NYT) has been sued for alleged discrimination against a white male employee after he was passed over for an editor’s job which went to a multiracial woman.

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accused the newspaper of breaching civil rights law by discriminating against the unnamed male candidate based on his race or sex, according to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court.

The unnamed complainant, who has worked at the newspaper since 2014 and says he has “considerable experience with real estate news”, was interviewed for the deputy property editor role, but not advanced to the final round.

Three days before a 31-year-old male stormed the White House Correspondents Dinner, hoping to assassinate President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet, the New York Times published a 35-minute video titled: “‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?’ Why petty theft might be the new political protest.” In it, a Times editor interviewed two other members of the media aristocracy about the moral code shared by a large swathe of young Americans.

That code justifies theft—and even violence—when harnessed to a fashionably left-wing cause. None of the participants—podcasting celebrity Hasan Piker, New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino, and Times opinion editor Nadja Spiegelman—expressed alarm at the glorification of crime. They smirked and giggled through the discussion, betraying a breezy indifference to lawbreaking.

It was striking enough that the Times published the video after reviewing the final cut. The paper was not embarrassed by the participants’ ignorance and entitlement. Nor was it troubled, apparently, by their debate over whether the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was “actually effective political action” or merely—and disappointingly—effective “political consciousness-raising.”

Dell Technologies’ Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal to move the company’s state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas. This adds to the growing trend of redomiciliation, with companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Coinbase, Affirm, TripAdvisor, eXp World Holdings, and others moving from Delaware to business-friendly states.

Shareholders will vote on the redomiciliation at Dell’s upcoming 2026 annual meeting on June 25. “The proposed redomestication would align Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation with its roots and long-standing center of operations,” the company wrote in a press release.

Dell said the move would align its legal home with its corporate origin story: Michael Dell founded the company in Austin in 1984, and today Dell’s headquarters, CEO, and largest concentration of U.S. employees are all based in Texas.

Germany affords itself a state bureaucracy that functions like an artificial labor market placed upstream of the private sector. The flight of hundreds of thousands into the arms of the state corresponds with the shrinking number of self-employed in the country. And policymakers are actively promoting this trend.

Let us begin with a piece of good news: according to a Bertelsmann survey, around 40 percent of Germans aged 15 to 25 can imagine starting a business as their personal life path. That is a surprisingly high figure in a country where young people not infrequently cite, half-jokingly and half-seriously, Hartz IV or the public sector as career goals.

Let us note: the embers of entrepreneurship in Germany are still glowing; economic autonomy and sovereignty still rank highly among the younger generation. However, it is questionable whether this will suffice to ignite, one day, a true founding boom in a country of climate transformation, deeply rooted faith in the state, and an expansive public sector—a boom that could force a turnaround and help erase the long-accumulated sins of climate socialists.

Leave it to the Soros regime to make it seem to the public like an economically-shellacked enemy of the U.S. is somehow winning its war against President Donald Trump.

The liberal Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft — which boasts $2,025,000 in funding from George Soros between 2019-2023 — pushed an asinine claim by non-resident fellow Ian Proud April 28 headlined, “Iran and Russia are gaming the United States, and winning.”

Proud then fear-mongered that Trump was running out of time to end the world before the American economy goes belly up. Proud attempted to prop up Iran’s illusory economic firewall, which new reporting proves is false in retrospect: “Both [Iran and Russia] have as a source of their strength considerable natural resources from which they can generate cash flow to sustain themselves during stand-offs with the West.” But as even pro-terrorist outlet Al Jazeera admitted May 2, “Prices surge, jobs disappear as war strains Iran’s economy.”

Two parole reform bills advancing in New York are triggering intense debate, with supporters calling them long-overdue criminal justice reforms and critics warning they could allow violent offenders to leave prison early, according to the NY Post.

One proposal, known as the Elder Parole bill, would allow incarcerated individuals to request parole hearings once they reach age 55 and have served at least 15 years of their sentence. That eligibility would extend to some inmates serving life sentences, and those denied parole could reapply every two years.

The second proposal, Fair and Timely Parole, would change how parole boards evaluate inmates by placing greater focus on whether someone currently poses a risk to public safety instead of heavily weighing the original crime. Backers say the current system often ignores evidence of rehabilitation and keeps people incarcerated long after they have changed.

Sometimes, I wonder if politicians who consistently make the wrong decisions do so on purpose. After reading the European Commission’s new report (published in April), “Wealth Taxation, Including Net Wealth, Capital and Exit Taxes,” I am once again tempted to suggest willful ignorance.

The report favors a slew of new taxes on Europe’s richest: a tax on capital gains, both realized and unrealized; a broad-based, ‘avoidance proof’ tax on inheritance and gifts; and a tax on capital migration. If matched with heavy taxation on equity-based income, these hate-the-rich taxes would work as a confiscatory machine, vacuuming Europe clean of anything that resembles economic success.

U.S. Central Command said its new plan to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz kicked off Monday with the safe passage of two U.S.-flagged merchant ships. Dubbed Project Freedom, the operation is designed to “restore freedom of navigation for commercial shipping” through this strategically vital body of water, the command stated on X. Iran closed the Strait after being attacked by the U.S. and Israel on Feb. 28. Meanwhile, Iran says this move will threaten the fragile ceasefire and that it will attack any ships transiting the Strait without permission.

“U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers are currently operating in the Arabian Gulf after transiting the Strait of Hormuz in support of Project Freedom,” CENTCOM stated in a message posted on X Monday morning. “American forces are actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping. As a first step, 2 U.S.-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz and are safely headed on their journey.”

At least four ships have been hijacked off the coast of Somalia in recent weeks, stoking fears of a piracy resurgence in the region. Officials say the rise in attacks is connected to the war in Iran, as pirates are taking the opportunity to act while naval forces are preoccupied with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The EU’s Maritime Security Centre Indian Ocean has called for all vessels in the area to maintain “heightened vigilance”, especially between Mogadishu and Hafun.

To understand the significance of this uptick, it helps to look at the longer trend. Piracy off Somalia reached its peak in 2011, when the International Maritime Organization recorded 286 incidents, including both attempted and successful attacks. A coordinated international response, including naval patrols and onboard security, then drove a steep decline, with cases falling to 99 in 2012 and just 12 by 2015. For three consecutive years between 2020 and 2022, no incidents were reported to the IMO in this area at all.

But these figures only tell part of the story. In 2009, most piracy cases were concentrated off East Africa, where 222 incidents, including 48 hijackings, were recorded. By 2010, however, Somali pirates had started to use captured dhows, fishing vessels and merchant ships as “motherships” in order to extend their operational reach. As a result, incidents off East Africa fell to 172, while attacks in the Indian Ocean rose from 27 to 77 (including a rise from two hijackings to 20). Activity in the Arabian Sea also increased over the same period, from two to 16.

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones asked the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn a ruling by Judge Hurley in Tazewell that blocked the State Board of Elections from certifying the results of the April 21 redistricting referendum. That is notable—so is the justices’ denial of that motion.

First, most anyone that remembers 2020 knows that the first response from anyone, when confronted with proof that shenanigans had taken place during the presidential election, is “the vote has been certified and there is no changing it.” That gets used to justify statements that the 2020 election was unchallenged.

It appears that what the attorney general was trying to do was force the state Supreme Court’s hand by claiming that one district court didn’t have the standing to stop a whole state-wide certification. Jones also argued, with a straight face, that because the redistricting his party supported would eat into the time for candidates to know what district they were running for and if any primaries needed to take place. Any delay could be seen as “vote suppression.”

Had he been successful, any ruling regarding the legality of the referendum would meet the same response the questions about 2020 meet: “So sorry, already certified.” That makes the second part of this compelling.

A little-talked about investment product is taking over the 401(k) world, and offering asset managers a way to increase exposure to private markets.

At the heart of the US retirement industry, underpinning the later-life plans of millions of Americans, is a set of financial products that hardly anyone can tell you a thing about.

No one knows exactly how much money they control. No one can say how it’s all allocated. No single financial regulator is in charge of them. Yet Collective Investment Trusts are now a multi-trillion dollar business to rival mutual funds or ETFs — and are poised to become the backdoor through which more private assets are added to Americans’ retirement savings.
For years now, the country’s biggest employers have been slowly migrating workers’ nest eggs toward these pooled

ehicles, which are used exclusively by retirement plans. For 401(k)s with more than 100 participants, about 40% of all assets were invested in CITs by 2024, according to Department of Labor data, up from 12% in 2010 and above the share allocated to mutual funds.

Notice the statist priorities: Knowing exactly how much money they control. Knowing how it’s all allocated. Most importantly, no single financial regulator is in charge of them.

As of the latest U.S election in late 2024, there were 120 Congressional districts with a non-white majority out of a total of 435. While only 25 to 45 percent are considered to have been created in reference to the 1965 Voting Rights Act specifically, the existence of all could potentially be in danger now that the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday changed an important provision concerning Section 2 of the law, which deals with, among other things, districting for elections.

The Voting Rights Act Section 2 specifies that district maps that give minorities “less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice” are illegal. This provision has been used in the past to create so called majority-minority districts, for example in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, and has helped to elect more non-white candidates to Congress. Previously, plaintiffs had to prove that white and non-white voters in a certain locations do overwhelmingly chose different candidates and that the district they were aiming to create or uphold was not overly gerrymandered. On Thursday, the 6-3 Supreme Court decision penned by Justice Samuel Alito said that in the future, maps invoking Section 2 would have to prove present-day discrimination of the non-white group in question to justify such a district in addition to proving their racial voting patterns were distinct from regular partisan voting – something that opponents of the changes say is almost impossible to do.

Dissenting justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson called the changes a “demolition of the Voting Rights Act”.
