We've got to make sure we stop these things coming into the country [and] police are given the powers to crack down, to take them away, to crush them, to destroy them.
It is an act that has shocked Germany: a Deutsche Bahn employee checked the ticket of a man traveling alone on a regional train, who turned out not to have a valid ticket. When the train conductor asked him to leave the train at the next stop, he was attacked and punched repeatedly.

Most businesses contribute positively to our neighborhoods, but a handful of late-night retail establishments, like the ones we have shut down, attract significant criminal activity.

First, I want to thank the thousands of city workers who have gone above and beyond to lift snow off of our streets and to look after those most at risk in a moment like this, and yet we know that there is clearly so much more to be done as we maintain our efforts to clear crosswalks and bus stops to melt snow, and above all, to protect New Yorkers who are most at risk from this historic and dangerous cold,

I fear every day leaving my home. Trump's attacks on all human decency have been bad enough but the 'acceptance & encouragement' MAGA gives people to harass, threaten, vandalize, and victimize our community is what frightens me most and makes the largest impact upon my life. My husband broke his ankle in November of 2024, and it was a horrendous situation made worse by the discrimination, and frankly, malicious treatment we faced by some healthcare and insurance people,

We walk past the Christmas markets at Bondi beach, looking for the festival.
