Philly DSA claims backlash to Jewish business boycott is ‘repression’

Philadelphia’s branch of the Democratic Socialists of America is claiming that the anti-Israel movement is being repressed because of the backlash against another group’s Sunday boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in the City of Brotherly Love. The DSA group doubled down on the poorly planned boycott , which was held on the eve of the Kristallnacht Nazi night of terror, claiming the outrage against Sunday’s effort was unwarranted and belittled the boycotters’ message. “From the Senator Fetterman and Congressman Boyle to Governor Shapiro, Mayor Parker, and Council President Johnson, politicians have joined a chorus of bad-faith and dangerous conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and invoking comparisons of the Kristallnacht that trivialize trauma and suppress political speech,” the group said in a statement. Philadelphia’s branch of the Democratic Socialists of America condemned the backlash against its boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in the city. phillydsa.org Philly ‘Kristallnacht’ protests at Jewish-owned businesses drowned out, shouted down by huge crowds A protester on a bicycle rides past shops in Philly’s ritzy Rittenhouse Square.

A building trades union is getting a $1-a-year land deal from the city of Philadelphia

On a gray morning in Southwest Philadelphia, a wide stretch of city owned ground sits quiet beside rail lines and warehouse roofs. Neighbors know the parcel as empty land the city has held for years. City Hall now knows it as the site of a proposed lease that would hand 21 acres to a building trades union for a dollar a year, so the union can raise an apprenticeship training yard. The Philly union land deal has already become a test of how this city treats public property when a powerful labor ally comes asking.

Army-Navy game moved up a week starting in 2027 to avoid expanded College Football Playoff conflict

The Army-Navy game , which features one of the most storied rivalries in college football, will be played one week earlier in the season starting next year to avoid conflicts with the expanded College Football Playoff . The change was announced Monday after the CFP said it would double in size from 12 to 24 teams next season. The 128th edition of Army-Navy is now set to take place in Philadelphia on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2027, instead of Dec. 11. “As long as the integrity of that game and exclusive rights for that window are good for us, I’m good with it,” Navy coach Brian Newberry said on a video call with reporters. “Everybody knows how important that game is. But to maintain that exclusive window, to honor that game the way it should be honored, I’m really pleased with that.” Army-Navy has been a tradition on the second Saturday of December since 2009. Before that, it was on the first Saturday of the month. The rivalry dates to 1890. "It means a lot to college football and to our country," Army coach Jeff Monken said Tuesday. "I’m just curious to see how it goes as we move forward. Will
