A George Soros-funded nonprofit that steers left-wing prosecutors in major American cities is in turmoil after much of its minority staff accused their leader of being racist and abusive. Long-simmering discontent at Fair and Just Prosecution reached a new high in April when Sherry Boston, the elected district attorney of Dekalb County, Georgia, accused FJP Executive Director Miriam Krinsky of racism for excluding her from a New York City event, emails obtained by The Daily Wire show. Krinsky, who is white, replied by disparaging Boston and saying she was excluded from events because of merit, not race. Krinsky appeared to suggest that Boston, a black Democrat, had failed to advance “racial justice” by prosecuting too many crimes. Tensions continued escalating in the ensuing months, as staff members accused Krinsky of misconduct, abuse, harassment, and retaliation. “The workplace culture under Miriam’s leadership is oppressively authoritarian,” disaffected employees, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Daily Wire in an email. “Miriam manipulates a predominantly young, minority staff—exploiting their inexperience and the existing racial dynamics within the organization to tighten her grip on power.” The staffers said they had faced retaliation for sounding the alarm about racism within the group, and that the leaders of the anti-police movement were quick to weaponize law enforcement to inflict it. “FJP, backed by Tides, are using law enforcement to retaliate against both current and former employees who have raised concerns about the organization’s practices. Some of these employees were wrongfully terminated and now face legal threats simply for attempting to do the right thing. Disturbingly, the organization has even orchestrated fake wellness checks as a means to weaponize the police—the same police they advocate should be defunded,” the employees said. Krinsky has led FJP since the group’s inception in 2017. A Daily Wire analysis of archived versions of FJP’s website shows significant staff turnover. The group lost 6 of 16 employees in 2020, 7 more in 2021, and 9 of 22 in 2023. Last month, FJP removed the staff listing from its website. Christopher Gray, a spokesman for FJP, said he could not discuss the circumstances of employees’ dismissals because of concern about defamation law. “Any personnel actions taken by the organization are in full compliance with applicable laws, our anti-harassment policies, and reflect our core values,” Gray said in an email. FJP is not officially incorporated with the Internal Revenue Service, but is instead “fiscally sponsored” by the Tides Foundation, a left-wing money clearinghouse. This arrangement means FJP does not have to disclose financial information, nor maintain a board of directors with power over Krinsky. “Miriam’s leadership is characterized by a deep-seated culture of secrecy. She withholds critical information from even her top staff, including undisclosed financial details, such as her actual salary,” the employees said. “She has meticulously crafted an organizational structure that consolidates her power, eliminating any meaningful oversight.” Tides spokeswoman Liah Caravalho said, “There is no validity to the assertion that Tides has issued legal threats in response to a whistleblower or other legitimate complaint.” She declined to say what actions Tides has taken to review employees’ concerns, or what, if any, structure exists for the group to replace problematic CEOs under its fiscal sponsorship model. In April, after Krinsky told Boston she had been placed on the waiting list for an event that month in New York City, Boston replied raising “great concern” about Krinsky’s leadership. “I am incredibly disturbed at the diversity that has exited the room,” she said, adding that FJP “has failed miserably in that regard.” “To watch ‘us’ [black members] be placed to 2nd tier status begs a lot of questions.” Boston’s missive caused a significant stir among FJP staff, many of whom were copied on the email. On April 22, Krinsky wrote to the staff saying that Boston was not excluded because she’s black, but because she was unqualified. “The DA expressed upset at not being invited to all FJP convenings and also expressed the view that diversity is declining in the FJP network as a result, in part, of these decisions,” she wrote. “The concern that FJP decisions around whom to include at our convenings are based in any part on excluding people based on race or gender is deeply troubling and of great concern to all of us, and also categorically untrue.” Krinsky suggested that Boston was not invited because she was not “abiding by our key values of ending mass incarceration and promoting racial justice.” “Policy and prosecution choices and decisions made by the DA here raised serious concerns about a commitment to our values and reform,” she wrote. “As a result, following research and due deliberation, FJP stepped back from some of our engagement with the DA.” “We know this has been an upsetting situation for many of you,” she wrote, saying that even though she did not believe Boston’s charge of racism, “we recognize that there is more that we can do to support equity and racial justice,” and that she would hold “office hours” for employees to air grievances. Boston did not return a request for comment. An August investigation from the Media Research Center found Krinsky held sway over law enforcement officials with jurisdiction over more than 3 in 10 Americans. The report found that Soros uses FJP to maintain contact with the left-wing prosecutors he helps get elected with massive donations. FJP often writes public statements and op-eds in elected officials’s names, and summons them to “mandatory” training sessions. According to the Media Research Center, FJP pushed the idea that statistically-disproportionate racial outcomes are sufficient to prove racism. The group pressed its DAs to “reduc[e] racial disparities in case outcomes by at least 20%” — and to not use police for health calls. Indeed, it views any interaction between police and minorities as a potential death sentence. FJP celebrated when New York Gov. Anthony Cuomo let San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin’s father, a left-wing terrorist convicted of killing two police officers, out of prison early, and sent out emails praising its DAs when they indicted police officers. The Media Research Center report also showed retaliation by Soros’ money machine against left-wing district attorneys who, once in office, moderated their positions to deal with rising crime. The FJP staff’s experience corresponds with what conservatives have long said about the Soros judicial philosophy: that it pushes lax policies against traditional crime but draconian enforcement against critics and political opponents. A typical weekly update from Krinsky to her stable of prosecutors, dated April 19, 2022, lauds Ingraham County Prosecuting Attorney Carol Siemon for “charging fewer drug-inducted homicide cases.” On the next page, meanwhile, Krinsky commends Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl Racine for “expanding its lawsuit against the January 6th insurrectionists” — none of whom have been charged with insurrection — noting that the goal is “to bring about additional accountability beyond existing criminal actions by DOJ, including targeting the finances of groups.”

Multiple House Democrats said on Thursday that they would continue to call former President Donald Trump a “threat to democracy” — even after calls for the party to tone down its language in the wake of a second assassination attempt on the Republican nominee. Fox Business correspondent Hillary Vaughn asked three House Democrats if they “think it’s time for Democrats to stop calling Trump a threat to democracy,” and all of them defended the description for the Democratic Party’s political rival. “No, the fact of the matter is that he is a threat to democracy,” said Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA). Rep. Pramilla Jayapal (D-WA) responded to the Fox Business reporter’s question, saying, “No, I think we should be clear that he is a threat to democracy. “Do you think the rhetoric needs to be toned down?” Vaughn pressed. “I think [Trump’s] rhetoric should be toned down, absolutely,” Jayapal replied. “Listen, these are the facts; he is a threat,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) added. “Period. Point blank.” WATCH: DISGRACEFUL: House Democrats tell Fox News that they will refuse to stop calling President Trump a “threat” after the second attempt on his life in two months. “He is a threat. Period.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also defended calling Trump a “threat” earlier this week when she was confronted by Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “It’s been only two days since somebody allegedly tried to kill Donald Trump again, and you’re here at the podium of the White House briefing room calling him a ‘threat,’” Doocy said during a White House press briefing on Tuesday. “How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the president, the vice president, and you pick a different word to describe Trump other than ‘threat’?” “Peter … I actually completely disagree with the premise of your question. The question that you’re asking, it is also incredibly dangerous in the way that you’re asking it,” Jean-Pierre responded. “Because the American people are watching, and to say that from an administration who has consistently condemned political violence, from an administration that the president called the former president and was thankful, grateful that he was okay … and now for you to make that comment in your questioning … that is also incredibly dangerous.” Jean-Pierre then said her description of Trump as a “threat” is accurate, arguing, “What I have said about the former president about January 6 is facts.”

A recent Gallup poll has revealed that young women today are leaning further left than at any other time in recent history, embracing more radical views on a range of political and social issues. The study highlights the growing shift towards extreme progressivism among women aged 18-29, particularly on issues such as abortion, race relations, gun control, and environmental policies. The rise in "wokeness" among this demographic has sparked significant concern, especially given the increasingly combative and divisive nature of their political engagement. Critics have noted that what used to be more measured support for progressive causes has evolved into a hardline stance, with many young women now openly identifying with Marxist ideologies and displaying hostility toward those with differing views​. Liberal white women are the most insufferable and cringy people on earth pic.twitter.com/n5jBQ8xz4l — GayCon (@GayCon88) September 14, 2024 This dramatic political shift is reflected in the numbers: Gallup’s data shows that the percentage of young women identifying as liberal has risen by double digits over the past two decades. In contrast, their male counterparts remain far less likely to adopt such extreme positions, further deepening the gender divide in American politics. Young men, especially, appear to be increasingly rejecting the feminist ideals that dominate discussions on race, gender, and social justice, widening the gap between the sexes. While young women have historically leaned left, this new surge in progressive identification is more intense than ever before. The poll suggests that, for many, their political beliefs have become deeply intertwined with their personal identities, fueling passionate and, at times, aggressive activism. This phenomenon has been linked to the broader rise of identity politics, where political affiliation often overlaps with personal and social identity, leading to what many describe as “political shrillness. These liberal women are disgusting.

However, this increase in political engagement is often accompanied by hostility toward perceived "out-groups." Many commentators argue that the increasingly toxic nature of online debates, particularly regarding issues like race and gender, has heightened the sense of division and animosity among young women. Critics argue that this shift has not only polarized political discussions but has also alienated those who hold more moderate views. There is growing concern that this trend could further fracture American society, with young women adopting a more rigid, ideological stance on key issues. The rise in left-wing activism among this group has even extended into cultural arenas, where their voices are influencing media, entertainment, and education, pushing institutions to adopt more progressive agendas. Conservatives warn that this increasingly radical approach threatens to destabilize core American values, as these young women become more entrenched in their views. They argue that the promotion of extreme ideologies, such as Marxism, has led to a rejection of traditional beliefs in favor of a divisive, zero-sum view of social justice. As Gallup’s data indicates, this is not just a passing trend but a fundamental shift in how the next generation of women is approaching politics). As the 2024 election approaches, this growing left-wing shift among young women is likely to play a significant role in shaping the political landscape. Their passionate advocacy for progressive policies could drive turnout and sway key issues in favor of the Democratic Party, especially on topics like climate change and reproductive rights. However, the challenge remains in bridging the deepening divide between this demographic and the broader electorate, particularly as their influence continues to grow​.

In a recent response to comments made by Pope Francis, Archbishop Charles Chaput has criticized the pontiff's suggestion that all religions serve as paths to God. During a meeting with interfaith youth in Singapore, Pope Francis likened religions to different languages, stating that each one represents a unique way to reach the same God. Chaput, however, strongly opposes this viewpoint, warning of its spiritual dangers. Chaput, the Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia, voiced his concerns in an article for First Things, expressing his alarm over what he perceives as theological confusion. According to the Archbishop, while many religions express a human yearning for something greater, they are not equivalent in content or consequence. He argues that religions like Christianity, which worship Jesus Christ as the Son of God, stand apart from others in both belief and practice. "Simply put, not all religions seek the same God," Chaput wrote, emphasizing that some are "both wrong and potentially dangerous" in material and spiritual terms​. Archbishop Charles Chaput has always been one of my heroes. This shepherd played an important role in launching FOCUS ministry, Augustine Institute and many other great Catholic ministries. He deserved a Red Hat. pic.twitter.com/Cr8mUBHUZy — Sachin Jose (@Sachinettiyil) October 23, 2022 Chaput points to fundamental differences between major world religions, such as Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity, all of which were cited by Pope Francis during his Singapore visit. The Archbishop highlighted that while these religions might share a search for God, their understandings of divinity, humanity, and morality vary drastically. This theological diversity, according to Chaput, undermines the notion that all religions lead to the same truth​. Critics of Pope Francis, including Chaput, see this approach as a dangerous form of relativism. The Archbishop stressed that the Christian faith teaches salvation through Christ alone, a doctrine that other religions reject. He quoted scripture to reinforce his argument, citing St. Paul's sermon in Athens where the apostle denounced pagan worship and presented Jesus as the only path to salvation (Acts 17:22-31). Archbishop Chaput is a native of Concordia, Kansas. A great man. https://t.co/qSnfBKc5I5 — Lance Michael Berland (@berland5273) September 18, 2024 Chaput further reflected on the historical importance of martyrdom in Christianity, questioning why Christians would sacrifice their lives for their faith if all religions ultimately led to the same God. He argued that downplaying the exclusivity of Christ undermines the significance of such sacrifices. "Why give up your life for Christ when other paths may get us to the same God?" he asked​. The Archbishop's critique also extended to Pope Francis' style of communication. He accused the pontiff of making "unclear statements" that foster confusion among the faithful. While he acknowledged that Pope Francis likely has good intentions, Chaput believes the Pope's statements on interreligious dialogue are too vague, lacking the doctrinal precision expected from the head of the Catholic Church. Chaput's comments are the latest in a series of criticisms from conservative Catholic leaders who feel that Pope Francis has adopted a too-lenient stance on theological issues. The Archbishop's rebuke highlights the ongoing tension within the Church, where debates about doctrine and modern pastoral approaches continue to divide opinion. The Pope’s defenders, however, argue that Francis is not advocating for a watering down of Catholic doctrine but is instead promoting a spirit of dialogue and respect among different faiths. They contend that his comments are part of a broader effort to encourage peace and mutual understanding in a world often divided by religious strife​.

The 1990s was a decade where the mood of popular music shifted toward darker, more introspective themes, largely influenced by the emergence of the grunge scene in the early part of the decade. Bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains used their music to express feelings of alienation, despair, and inner turmoil. This sense of melancholy transcended beyond the alternative rock scene, finding its way into the broader spectrum of pop and rock music. Ballads and emotional songs that dealt with themes of sadness, heartbreak, and existential reflection became widespread across different musical genres.
