🗽 In the center of New York, a rally was held in support of the Russian Federation and the republics of Donbass with the slogans "Close NATO", "Stop the terror of neo-Nazis in Ukraine."
The participants said that Americans are being massively "bombarded" by Western propaganda and they simply do not know all the circumstances of the Ukrainian crisis.

🏙 NY bail law fight emblematic of Democrats’ debate on crime
It’s hard to find anyone on board with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to toughen the state’s bail laws, two years after they were retooled to keep people from being jailed because they are poor.
New York changed its bail laws in response to public outcry over prisoners accused of minor crimes being held in jail for extended periods while awaiting trial because they couldn’t afford to pay bail.
The state’s answer was to eliminate cash bail for many nonviolent offenses, a reform that frustrated some law enforcement officials who warned that people released back to the streets would commit new crimes. But with violent crime up across America, crime rates have been an easy target and longstanding bogeyman for Republicans, who have wasted no opportunity to make it a campaign issue in races around the US.

📕 Cuomo files suit against NY ethics board over book profits
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday filed a lawsuit against the state’s ethics commission, the latest move in an ongoing dispute over his earnings from a book about his efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo accused the Joint Commission on Public Ethics of violating his constitutional rights and showing “extraordinary bias against him.”
In December, JCOPE ordered Cuomo to turn over money from his book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic.” Cuomo’s camp decried the order and promised a legal fight.
However, shortly thereafter, the state attorney general’s office issued a letter saying the commission had more steps to take before the office could get involved in trying to claim the money.

🚫 Border asylum limits ending, but not Biden’s migrant woes
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday that it would lift the asylum ban, known as Title 42, next month. The ban had become increasingly hard to justify as pandemic restrictions ended around the country.
By delaying the end of Title 42 for nearly two months, Biden appeared to be seeking a political balance between liberals who want the policy scrapped and moderates who have joined Republicans in supporting continued restrictions. He may end up satisfying neither. The expected influx of migrants could create a damaging political crisis for Biden with the November midterm elections approaching.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Friday that a long-term solution “can only come from comprehensive legislation that brings lasting reform to a fundamentally broken system.”

🏞 Tribes seek more inclusion, action from US officials
President Joe Biden issued a memo during his first month in office, reaffirming previous executive orders on tribal consultation and directing federal agencies to spell out how they’ll comply. That set in motion US Interior Secretary Deb Haaland's efforts to give tribal leaders a direct line of communication to the Interior Department.
Haaland’s selection as the first Native American to serve in the position opened a door for tribes who pointed to a history fraught with broken promises. But frustrations persist among tribal leaders who say their conversations with the federal government have not resulted in action on the ground.
Under the US Constitution, treaties and statutes, the federal government must consult meaningfully and in good faith with Native American and Alaska Native tribes when making decisions or taking action that is expected to impact them.

⚖️ Parkland shooter’s lawyers face tough task in jury selection
Attorneys for Parkland, Florida, school shooter Nikolas Cruz will have one goal when jury selection starts Monday: to identify candidates who might give Cruz the single vote he needs to get a life sentence instead of death for the 2018 murders of 17 students and staff members. The process will involve a lot of educated guesses.
Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to 17 first-degree murders, 17 attempted murders and a jail assault, leaving the jury to decide only whether the former Stoneman Douglas student gets death or life without parole.
Catholic Church leaders, some Protestant denominations and Judaism’s major rabbinical organizations also oppose the death penalty on theological grounds, although many individual members support it in practice.

📲 Investors See Market Losses as Trump’s Social Media Venture Misses Deadlines, Dips 93% in Downloads
The alternative social media platform backed by former US President Donald Trump has failed to live up to its own expectations amid a series of technical problems and public relations issues stemming from the app’s surprise wait list. The app has observed a 93% dip in weekly downloads since its launch week high of some 872,000 downloads.
Investment anxiety is mounting after the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) failed to achieve a late March deadline imposed by CEO Devin Nunes, a congressman-turned-executive who said the app was slated to be “fully operational” by the month’s end.
Nunes and TMTG are expected to expand the Trump-labeled brand beyond social networks, and into the realm of news, streaming, and even a cloud-computing platform.

Kansas appears unlikely to join other states this year in keeping transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s school sports, partly because conservative state lawmakers want the ban to apply to elementary school students.
The Republican-controlled state legislature approved a proposed ban early Saturday with solid majorities in both chambers — but not the two-thirds needed to override an almost-certain veto from Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly. She rejected a similar bill last year, saying it would send “a devastating message that Kansas is not welcoming to all children and their families.”
At least 12 other states have enacted such laws, including Arizona and Oklahoma this week. The bill’s supporters said they are showing support for young girls who want to play sports and older girls who strive for college scholarships. Supporters of a proposed ban often refer to transgender athletes as “biological” boys, men or males.
