🔥 TEXAS: “Registered voters in Tarrant County has increased 30% — to be closing polling stations is blatant voter suppression… when I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic… when people try to take away our right to vote, they start looking like enemies domestic. Talking to you, Comrades."

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

This a key point about the endless Hasan Piker discourse. These media figures spewing rage and demanding everyone denounce him are friends with -- and have amiable chats every day with -- the world's worst war criminals, people who started immoral wars with massive amounts of blood on their hands, who tortured, who kidnapped, who caused the 2008 financial collapse.

Whatever you think of Hasan Piker, he did none of that. He hasn't bombed anyone or obliterated families or caused generations of economic deprivation. His main crime -- aside from the main one: hostility toward Israel -- is that he streams for 12 hours a day everyday and they can find 2 or 3 things he's said that they repeat over and over (particularly the 9/11 comment, which he retracted and for which he repeatedly apologized).

Watching these media figures who are friends with Bush/Cheney monsters and Obama fiends who dropped drones on wedding parties and oligarchs who wiped out 2 generations of Americans' financial security act as if Hasan Piker is some unique evil is utterly farcial.

I know it’s complicated for you, habibi. I’m happy to teach you how this works at our next debate…if you’re not too much a coward to debate me.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

my old clips out of context are far less damning than this kind of advocacy from the center of power btw. this is what voters recognize and what @neeratanden fails to comprehend

[The Aftershock @The_Aftershock_]

BREAKING: People Against Genocide broke into the Aberdeen facility of Ultra I&C, a supplier to Elbit Systems and the Israeli military.

The action takers destroyed equipment, recorded documents and barricaded themselves inside.

They are currently still inside the plant.

i welcome this! i'd go on any major outlet that has spent hours covering my soundbites to talk TO them.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Israel is the only state in the world that has a policy of barring Jews from entering its borders.

Perhaps the genocide lobby should change Apartheid Israel's nickname from "Jewish State" to "State that Bans Jews"?

The worst kind of person is the one who got out of poverty and pulls the ladder up behind them.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I’m sorry, a Nazi who is trying to ban an entire religious community from serving in government, and spewing bigoted racist rhetoric, is on your show and you’re treating them with kid gloves as if it’s a normal political disagreement? Come on!

[🥚 🍞 @undapav]

So they banned Chinese electric vehicles in USA
But they allowed Waymo to import them and use their cheaper electric cars for an exorbitant taxi service meanwhile the Americans don’t get to buy cheaper electric vehicles

Peak capitalism

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

i dont believe the avg american thinks taxing the rich, m4a, no longer sending money or weapons to israel, banning corporate pacs, conditional amnesty for migrants & ice abolition is worse than a neonazi platform of holocaust denial, anti miscegenation, & concentration camps.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Brilliant riposte from @AbdulElSayed to Trump, who can’t even get Melania to hold his hand in public.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Neera Tanden helped run Hillary Clinton’s campaign that insisted she was the most electable candidate and then lost to Donald Trump.

To have done that and then still lecture about electability proves once again that Neera is the GOAT of shamelessness. Nobody can top her.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

I'm starting to suspect that the heavily promoted DNC/media narrative -- that campaigning with Hasan Piker is a huge albatross that Dem candidates should avoid -- may not have been entirely accurate.

If anything, the precise opposite seems to be true.

At the very least, it's proven to be more effective than campaigning with Liz Cheney.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

interesting how everyone who says this in dc has a photo like this

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

While they’re telling you to put more beans in your beef so you can afford to make burritos for your family, remember the Israeli lobby spent $30 million to take me out of Congress because I wouldn’t vote for the things that have made your grocery bills so high.
