Trove of documents unsealed in NYC mayor’s criminal case offers a glimpse of thwarted investigation

Michigan’s Trumpian Attorney General Is a Democrat
A police crackdown on students protesting Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. An attorney general throwing the book at the antiwar activists. Reckless accusations of antisemitism against anyone who disagrees. Protesters’ doors kicked down and raided by armed police. It’s just another day in Donald Trump’s America. Except in this case in question, none of it was done by Trump or even happened while he was president. All of these things happened in a Democrat-controlled state, at the hands of a Democratic attorney general, almost all of it while a Democrat was president. Felony charges were brought against seven antiwar student protesters by Michigan attorney general Dana Nesssel last year, charges that have been criticized as an assault on the rights to free speech and protest — and which were, fortunately and unexpectedly, dropped by Nessel earlier this week. The whole episode is a reminder that as much as the Democratic Party rightly charges Trump and other right-wing political opponents with authoritarianism, its own officials have often acted indistinguishably from the president in defense of Israel’s bloody war on Gaza.

CP of India, CPI on Operation Sindoor by Indian Armed Forces
Given the grave provocation and loss of innocent lives, CPI believes that India had little choice but to respond firmly against the sources of such terrorism. The targeted nature of the strikes—avoiding Pakistani military assets and focusing solely on terrorist infrastructure—demonstrates a calibrated and non-escalatory approach, prioritizing accountability without inviting full-scale conflict. At the same time, CPI urges the Government of India to immediately call for an all-Party meeting to strengthen national consensus and collective resolve in the fight against terrorism. We reiterate the importance of pursuing diplomatic avenues to prevent further escalation and preserve peace in our region and also to arrive at political solutions.

V. I. Lenin: Social-Chauvinist Policy Behind a Cover of Internationalist Phrases
How are political facts related to political literature, political events to political slogans, and political reality to political ideology? This question is now of fundamental significance for an understanding of the entire crisis of the International, since any crisis, even any turning point, in a development inevitably leads to a discrepancy between the old form and the new content. We say nothing of the fact that bourgeois society is continually producing politicians who love to assert they belong to no class, and opportunists who love to call themselves socialists, both of whom deliberately and systematically deceive the masses with the most florid and “radical” words. In times of crisis, however even well-meaning participants therein very often reveal a discrepancy between word and deed. The great and progressive significance of all crises, even the gravest, most arduous and painful, lies in the tremendous speed, force and clarity with which they expose and sweep aside rotten phrases, even if well meaning, and rotten institutions even if they are built on the best of intentions.

Fascist apologia. The CPI and CPI(M) should be ashamed of their complicity.

Extremely apt thing to include immediately after that.
