Republicans denounce comparison of 27 October event to notorious 1939 rally made by Democrats and Jewish leaders

Donald Trump’s decision to hold a rally in the heart of Manhattan on 27 October, nine days before election day, has been slammed by New York Democrats, with one comparing the booking to an infamous Nazi rally held at the same venue in the lead-up to the second world war.

But it has also triggered a backlash to such sentiments, with Republicans saying such rhetoric heightens tensions even more in a presidential election campaign which has already seen two attempts on Trump’s life.

The Democratic state senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, whose district includes much of the west side of Manhattan where a date on Trump’s “arena tour” rally has been booked at Madison Square Garden, called on venue owners to cancel the event.

"Let's be clear," Hoylman-Sigal wrote on X. "Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939."

Hoylman-Sigal was referring to a pro-Hitler rally, organized by the German American Bund, that was attended by more than 20,000 people and featured a portrait of George Washington flanked by swastikas. Many attendees came from Yaphank, Long Island, where the Bund was headquartered and had a summer camp teaching Nazi ideology.

s2e21 "Peak Performance"

Inspired by NegativeNull's Wendy's post

My phone died a few days ago, and the Cisco Duo app overwrote 2FA key backup after connecting my old phone to the internet.
Lemmy has no backup codes, nor can you disable 2FA even while logged in without a valid token.

Anyway, I noticed there's no rate limiting on 2FA attempts.
So following Lemmy API docs I wrote this exceptionally stupid script (look at my foolish way of parallelization and no auto-stop).

I got the JWT token from logged-in Firefox session, using cookies.txt extension to export it.

Anyway, just make sure your password is secure enough, It's obviously (potentially) better than 6 digits, probably with 3 valid combinations at each time (current 30s, past 30s, future 30s windows), if I am guessing how it works right.

My attempt also clearly involved a lot of luck with just 21,830 attempts (less than 5 minutes). But, if you're lucky enough, you may guess it on first attempt, or never if you aren't.

Trump and Vance see the natural disasters not as tragedies but as opportunities to advance their far-right conspiracy theories

Whipping up hurricanes to merge with great replacement theory took hardly a week, about the time it takes for hurricanes themselves to form. The overheated atmosphere warmed the waters that were drawn up into the winds to churn them into a menacing storm.

After Hurricane Helene hit, Donald Trump unleashed a whirlwind of humid lies: the federal government was deliberately preventing aid and even water from reaching areas that held Republican voters, "not getting anything"; Kamala Harris "spent all her Fema money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants"; and Fema was offering only $750 in disaster relief -- all false, all debunked by the Republican governors in the affected states. The Republican congressman Chuck Edwards of North Carolina felt compelled to issue a statement to his constituents not to listen to "untrustworthy sources trying to spark chaos by sharing hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and hearsay about hurricane response efforts" and the "outrageous rumors spread online".

Undoubtedly, he had in mind Elon Musk, who accelerated the circulation of the lies on his platform X: Fema "actively blocked" aid and "used up its budget ferrying illegals into the country instead of saving American lives. Treason." The Fema administrator, Deanne Criswell, called the calculated spread of disinformation "absolutely the worst I have ever seen", and announced that Fema for the first time had established a webpage for "Hurricane Rumor Response".

...

Republican leaders instantly fell into line in a demonstration of Trump fealty. The congressman Steve Scalise, of Louisiana, the number two in the Republican leadership of the House, campaigning for Trump on 8 October, repeated his lie: "They use that money helping illegals here that they brought into America."
