All cry and no catharsis

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

This is the same Kamala Harris who:

1. Refused to meet with Arab
and Muslim leaders in Dearborn
2. Had a Muslim Democrat (and former congressional candidate) kicked out of a speech before she went on stage (no, he wasn't protesting)
3. Had 2 hijab-weating Muslim women banned from a campaign appearance (again, not protesting)
4. Refused to allow a Muslim/Arab Democrat (who endorsed her) to speak on the convention stage
5. Silenced people in the crowd who called her out on her complicity with genocide

So good luck with all of this.

Her name was Ahed Tamimi. She grew up in Nabi Saleh -a small Palestinian village where protests against Israeli military presence were a weekly occurrence. When 7 Israeli soldiers shot her 15 year old cousin in the face with a rubber bullet outside their home. Hours later two soldiers appeared in her courtyard. Ahed walked up to one and slapped him. The video went viral instantly.
That night the Israeli army returned. Dozens of soldiers. 3am. They arrested her in her bedroom. She was 16 years old. Her trial was held behind closed doors. She was sentenced to 8 months in prison. The world erupted. Amnesty International, the UN, governments across the globe demanded her release.
She served every day of her sentence.
She walked out of prison at 17 unbroken. The soldier she slapped was never charged. She became the face of Palestinian resistance for an entire generation.

KHive etc. are really telling on themselves by ignoring Kiros' incredible upset vs a white career politician who'd been in office since before Kiros was born.

I guess it was never about supporting black women, and was always just a cult of personality around one corrupt cop.

Hey Matt can you share a detailed list of Third Way’s donors? Since you guys don’t disclose them it would be edifying to see a complete list. Thanks in advance!

two things: 1) reminder Emily’s List (the org Jessica is President of) is funded by AIPAC via Majority for Israel PAC ($500K last quarter) and 2) on CNN McMorrow casually tied Hasan Piker and El-Sayed to the MI synagogue attack last week. Has Jessica condemned this gross racism?

The Zionist industrial complex exists to convince you the hurt feelings of genocidal people are infinitely more worthy of our sympathy than the severed limbs of the genocided people.

A 7-year-old boy was found dead drowned in a pool this week in Menands, NY after a search.

Here's how a local business responded

[Dr. Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui @sabreenaGS]

Western liberal feminists love the idea of "liberating" Muslim women from the
"oppressive" veil and "sending" us to school to give us a "voice", but when non-hijab-wearing Muslim women like me with PhDs school THEM on how liberal feminism is anchored in white supremacy and serves the imperialist capitalist agenda and harms all women, they get mad at us for our defiance and not just shutting the f’ up. 🫠

the nazis used the Us genocide of indigenous peoples and slavery as a blueprint. Us corporations funded the nazis for years. the Us gov now funds israel. This is what the US always was.

I'm just going to point out that @CongressmanKean took approximately 644 hours of paid sick leave. He voted against giving his constituents 40.

These two stories trending together reveal a lot about who is the actual victim and who pretends to be.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

⚡️Melat Kiros says House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries should not become speaker if Democrats retake the House, arguing the party must “root out the corruption and get money out of our politics” by voting out incumbents “taking that kind of corporate PAC money.”

Her comments to Politico came as Jeffries publicly congratulated Kiros on her primary victory, calling it a “hard-fought” win and saying House Democrats would “end the culture of corruption in Washington.”

I guess America troops will start sniping infants in the head and chest like Israel

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

hey @seanhannity it has been months since you issued a challenge to debate me on your show, then asked to push it back indefinitely, and stopped answering my team's calls.

its time to talk TO me, rather than ABOUT me. i wish you a speedy recovery!

[Billy Pilgrim @YakkobMan]

@allenanalysis Any conservatives want to explain how this is America first? Or is it fine to do anything as long as Trump gives it the okay?

[Billy Pilgrim @YakkobMan]

Feel like some folks find it easy to ignore me because I say nonsense a lot of the time. Which, fair. But I still feel so quiet

How can you look at this sort of thing and not think "wow I wish my home town was like that" or "wow a politician that gives a shit I should hold my local representatives more accountable"

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.

[Billy Pilgrim @YakkobMan]

They hate us so much. We'll have to show them soon how much we hate them in turn, cause the fire keeps burning

PabloReports: How do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?

Nehls: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes.

Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that?

Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do.
