Just hanging out.

ALARMING: Abdul El-Sayed staffer says “Americans are idiots,” and admits he “doesn’t have any issue with the Muslim brotherhood,” even though they treat women as second class citizens.

Abdul, do you stand by your staffer and his comments?

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Há algum outro exemplo em todo o mundo democrático em que o candidato derrotado numa eleição presidencial tenha seus passaportes apreendidos e seja proibido de sair do país no dia seguinte à votação, por ordem de um juiz alinhado ao candidato vencedor?

Estou procurando precedentes históricos e, até agora, não encontrei nenhum. A medida é ainda mais extrema considerando que Flávio sequer foi denunciado criminalmente.

.@AOC accused Elon Musk of gutting Medicaid and Social Security to finance his own tax cuts and government contracts. She also accused him of robbing the public.

She made those accusations on Instagram Live, not during congressional proceedings.

The Supreme Court ruled in Hutchinson v. Proxmire that congressional immunity doesn’t protect defamatory statements made in public communications outside legislative proceedings.

AOC should be asked to produce the evidence supporting her accusations.

Being a member of Congress doesn’t give you a license to defame people.

official, published DSA positions include but are not limited to: abolishing the senate, the supreme court, and the executive branch, abolishing prisons and ICE, opening the border, and seizing most major industries

Ruffalo has the history backward. The New Deal borrowed fascist economics rather than fighting them. The 1933 the National Recovery Administration put American industry under government codes fixing prices, wages, and output, the corporatist structure of Mussolini's system, and Mussolini praised FDR's program as kindred to his own. The Nazi party's paper commended Roosevelt's economic measures in the same years.

The Supreme Court struck it down 9 to 0 in 1935.

Fascism and socialism are both variants of collectivism, so one cannot cure the other. And the scapegoating he condemns runs through his antidote too. FDR named his scapegoats economic royalists and ran against them as a class. The antidote to fascism is individual rights and a government limited to protecting them.

I suggest Ruffalo book a one-way ticket to Brazil. The country just voted for everything he wants. Why does he stay in a country that represents everything he despises?

@cenkuygur Whatever you say Turkish Goebbels.

El-Sayed appeared with Cenk on a panel last month hosted by the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim Brotherhood-linked group.

There were a couple of other 9/11 truthers there, too.

Footage from 2006 of @AbdulElSayed's close ally, Osama Siblani, saying that Israel's "genocide" in Gaza is "worse than the Holocaust."

And Hezbollah and Hamas, "are not terrorists," but "freedom fighters." https://t.co/BeTrARQtmM

@TheRightStuffX @RyanGirdusky She literally told voters to “get the hell out” ffs.

[Ryan James Girdusky @RyanGirdusky]

Just a reminder, had the GOP nominated anyone aside from Kari Lake in 2024, they would have won the Senate seat and made it much for difficult for Democrats to win the majority this year

@Variety At a certain point you realize they don’t pump out this kind of piece because they lack self awareness.

It’s transparent propaganda and they think people are too stupid to tell.

@YesThatVCharles @TheAtlantic @fhill_official Hell of pull.🍻

@AlexanderPayton @sunnyright Lol, Walz loves China and honeymooned there.

[Smuggled Plums @_Muddbone2]

@Variety John Oliver, on top of everything else, is historically ignorant.

@jacone2222 @bdomenech The US government uses Starshield not Starlink.

@rirokpik Do you have any idea how ignorant you sound?

My ancestors never owned slaves, black or otherwise. They came to this country with nothing and were poor for two generations. I’m middle class and my son is the first in my family not to live in low income housing.

GFY.

[Dominic Adler @DomAdlerUK]

An oldie but a goodie. In 1968 a bunch of entitled hippy bastards sent a letter detailing their specious demands to the Warden and Fellows of Wadham College, Oxford. This was their letter of reply, which speaks to how far the academy has since fallen.

[Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze]

So just to understand this right - @kwelkernbc asked more questions about Abdul El-Sayed's Muslim Brotherhood connections to Mike Rogers than she actually did to Abdul El-Sayed.

@BellaBella3891 @yashar Fair enough.
