@HumanistReport I like El-Sayed...but there is an argument to be made that defeating Stevens is the top priority and McMorrow might be the only feasible way to do that.

Something tells me this guy hasn't said a word about the fact that most young Republicans are now Holocaust deniers.

[Jamie Metzl @JamieMetzl]

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.

But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

Lol, remember when Greenblatt defended Elon for his Nazi salute?

Just goes to show you that Nazis have no loyalty.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

He’s such a liar

[Mike Figueredo @HumanistReport]

We're not nearly angry enough about the fact that a foreign interest group is openly bragging about meddling in U.S. elections.

[Sam Blank @Sam_Blank]

@ShaiDavidai But you're saying nothing about the fact that most Republican youth are now Holocaust deniers. Coward.

[Sam Blank @Sam_Blank]

@ettingermentum For me the problem was really that he came off weak and prevaricating at times throughout the campaign. The most obvious issue being Israel-Palestine. 10 years ago he would've been amazing, but he doesn't feel cut out for this moment.

It costs $43.50 for an ID in Pennsylvania. You used to care about how stuff like this impacted the poor.

[Pat Dennis @patdennis]

lots of dem staff think successful comms is "nobody yells at you" but successful comms is "the right people yell at you"

the only world where nobody yells at you is where nobody cares about what you're saying

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The leading Israeli scholars of the Holocaust and of genocide - Omer Bartov, Daniel Blatman, Amos Goldberg - all agree that Gaza is a genocide.

So do Israel’s top human rights groups Btselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.

Give it up with the antisemitism smear.

[Conor Lamb @ConorLambPA]

With the cost of one month of this war we could build a nuclear power plant or give $25k in cash to everyone who had to drop ACA coverage.

[Mwende Ngao @mwendesusu]

The manosphere is a very successful psyop. Keeping men, especially young men, focused on fantasies of dominance and directing it to women and minorities, so that they never direct their energy to toppling the powers that be, and then sending them to war or debt to finish them off

People have to start gofundmes to afford to treat cancer

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Just to be clear, Charlie Kirk’s pal/producer who spent the past few months blasting the left for apparently inciting violence is now platforming a Republican who calls James Talarico ‘demonic’ and ‘evil as they come’. These people are all hypocrites. Never take them seriously.

[Woke Former Senator @WokeMitt]

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans had like 9 congressional investigations on Benghazi.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

republicans out here saying america deserves ANOTHER 9/11 wild stuff man

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

As @wmarybeard notes in “SPQR,” the slaughter of a million Gauls sparked a massive public outcry. Cato the Younger suggested Caesar be handed over to the Gauls for trial. Pliny the Elder declared him guilty of “a crime against humanity.” Please read even one book.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

[William Buecker @wcbuecker]

I love that Republicans who were absolutely apoplectic and wanted to impeach Biden for the 13 soldiers who died in the Afghanistan withdrawal
Are now like…
“Yeah, a lot of soldiers might die, such is war”

[Bengü 🇵🇸🌹🕊️ @thedemsocmarul]

i honestly think being uncomfortable with or distrustful of Platner is valid, the man had a nazi tattoo, but all this over a podcast he went on is batshit crazy to me, should Newsom resign for going on Charlie Kirk? should Bernie retire for going on Rogan? what are we doing

Fun Fact: Losing three U.S. fighter jets cancels out all of the money DOGE claims to have saved us
