Speaking exclusively to National File, Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, said that the New Tech platform was banned from three different banks in the last three weeks alone for political reasons. One of the banks told Torba on Monday morning that they could no longer do business with the site because of "all the bad things the press has written about Gab."
Following the removal of President Trump from most Big Tech platforms in the last few weeks of his presidency, New Tech social media sites like Gab skyrocketed in traffic, as millions of users flocked away from the censorship of Facebook, Twitter, and others. Gab received 272 million visits in January, outperforming legacy media competition such as NBC News, The Wall Street Journal, Breitbart, and TMZ, by a huge margin.
As a result of its increasing prominence, the free-speech platform has been subject to many smears from the mainstream media in recent weeks, claiming that the site is an "alt-right social media network," a "haven for extremists," and even claiming that the site "leads to violence.
Lindsey Boylan — now a Democratic candidate for Manhattan borough president — made the stunning allegation in an essay posted on the Medium website.
Boylan said the incident took place after her 2018 promotion to be Cuomo's deputy secretary for economic development and special advisor to the governor — a job she initially turned down "because I didn't want to be near him."
"We were in his New York City office on Third Avenue," she wrote.
"As I got up to leave and walk toward an open door, he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips. I was in shock, but I kept walking."
"I hope you've already bought your copy, cause Amazon just removed my book 'When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment' from their cyber shelves.... my other four books are still available (for now)," Anderson tweeted about the removal.
'When Harry Became Sally' had previously made best-seller lists on the retail site. The work aims to expose "the contrast between the media's sunny depiction of gender fluidity and the often sad reality of living with gender dysphoria." It includes accounts of people who have transitioned genders and later regretted it and looks at "beneficial therapies" that "focus on helping people accept themselves and live in harmony with their bodies."
The creators behind this effort are a cavalcade of west coast academics from places such as Loyola Marymount University and University of California, among others.
A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction is a five-stage lesson plan that prioritizes Black, Latinx, and Multilingual middle school students and the barriers in education they might face. By that the group defines it as being "white supremacy culture."
As some participants spoke in Chinese, I could make out some key phrases: "'moral courage," "public service," and "Cultural Revolution."
When it came my turn to speak, I told the Chinese-American parents: you can save America. After surviving the Cultural Revolution, they uniquely recognize the dangers to an ideology like critical race theory, the race-based philosophy that dismantles core principles in our society, such as the idea of the American Dream, replacing the idea of equality with the disingenuous notion of "equity," and punishing Asian-American children for their advanced academics.
They cheered their potential role in the country that they love.
And now we see just that kind of moral leadership by another association, CACAGNY 紐約同源會, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance Greater, based in New York, which published a letter yesterday denouncing critical race theory as "a hateful, divisive, manipulative fraud." A member @queens_parents published the letter on Twitter, and it can be found here online at their website www.cacagny.org.
The real number was between 13 and 27.
All political orientations overestimated the percentage of people killed by police who were black.

On Wednesday, Moscow paper RBK published the leaked order, which was handed to the environmental, industrial, and trade ministers by the country's deputy prime minister, Viktoria Abramchenko.
In the missive, she instructed officials to bring forward amendments that would "ensure the owners of industrial infrastructure facilities fulfill the obligation to eliminate the damage to the environment" and limit the passing on of profits from companies that fail to comply.

Karen Ames, a 30-year Department of Education employee, says she was ousted because she is over 40 and Jewish.
Karen Ames, a 30-year Department of Education employee, says she was targeted by Carranza's "Disrupt and Dismantle" campaign to oust or marginalize longtime employees because she is over 40, and Jewish.
"The agenda of Chancellor Carranza and his senior leadership team was euphemistically touted as an 'equity platform' but in reality, it was a platform used to create gender, age, racial and ethnic divisions in the NYC School system," she contends in her Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed Friday.
Comment: That is the purpose of critical theory for culture as a whole. They want to tear it down, to replace it with their own ill-defined utopian vision. In other words, create hell on earth, which is what always happens when utopian malcontents have their way.
Ames was grilled about her "ethnic background," chastised by a colleague at a training session when she shared her grandparents' experience during the Holocaust in Poland, and "admonished" when she declined requests at superintendents meetings to take part in the comic book movie-inspired "Wakanda Forever" salute to "black power," she charges in the legal filing.
Early in his tenure, Carranza visited Ames at PS 69 in District 8, where she had served as superintendent since 2014.
According to media reports, more than a thousand people gathered near the Presidential Administration and were met with tear gas.
Sternenko is the former leader of the Odessa branch of the Right Sector, an association of radical anti-Russia Ukrainian nationalist organizations. Founded in 2013 as a conglomeration of groups at the Euromaidan revolt in 2013, the group has been described as neo-fascist and even neo-Nazi. In November 2014, the Russian Supreme Court ruled that the association is an extremist organization and banned its activities in Russia.

An Israeli soldiers displays a tar ball during cleanup operation at the Sharon Beach National Park, north of Tel Aviv city, on Feb. 22
Israel's Nature and Parks Authority (INPA) called the spill "one of the most serious ecological disasters" the country has ever seen and warned it could take years to completely remove the waste from beaches, according to the BBC.
The tar was first noticed on Israel's beaches on Wednesday (Feb. 18) after a heavy winter storm battered the coastline. Israel's Environmental Protection Ministry estimates that as much as 1,100 tons (1,000 metric tons) of tar have already washed ashore, according to Aljazeera.
