In this economy, people are already at their breaking point. So exploiting someone’s financial stress for a cheap laugh isn’t just a prank; it’s diabolical.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you call yourself a Democrat, and you're stabbing Abdul El-Sayed in the back while he's being attacked by shitty, bigoted Republicans during the 11th Hour of a winnable election, FUCK YOU for choosing that.
We will NOT forget this.
I’ve yet to see a Muslim politician trying to force their religion on the rest of America, but what I have seen is Christian Nationalist Politicians repeatedly trying to push their beliefs in our laws, our schools and our personal lives.
Why Are Moderate Dems Bashing Abdul El-Sayed Right Before Election? Nancy Pelosi and Haley Stevens both released statements targeting El-Sayed. They would rather lose the Senate than have a Senator who is pro Palestinian. It's that simple. https://t.co/7PMV1MWrFj
El-Sayed: Trump called me Abdul Ramadan. Ramadan is the month in which Muslims fast. The thing is groceries under his leadership have gotten so expensive, I wouldn't be surprised if he is like, “listen, we could just do Ramadan for all.”
“Why are you fasting?”
“I can’t afford food”
This is easily THE most DEVASTATING clapback I have ever heard, by any candidate, from either party. trump said he wants metal detectors for El-Sayed.
El-Sayed says sure, but lie detectors for YOU.
First question: EPSTEIN.
He is SO good at this.🔥
There are many uniquely bizarre aspects to the US/Israel relationship but the most bizarre is how relfexively pro-Israel Americans will side with that *foreign country* even when they attack, beat, persecute or kill their own fellow Americans.
It's extra surreal, and disgusting, watching politicians who call themselves "America First" -- like Mike Huckabee -- do this.
I'm losing my mind. Millions of Muslim and Arab Americans were told in '24 to ignore a genocide in which some of them lost multiple family members and vote for Biden/Harris to stop the GOP. They were "expected" to do it.
And no one is "bigoted" against Stevens - she's not Jewish.
L’opposizione israeliana ha i numeri per mandare a casa Netanyahu. Ma preferisce tenerselo, tornare alle urne e suicidarsi politicamente, piuttosto che formare un governo con l’appoggio dei partiti palestinesi. Il motivo è semplice: RAZZISMO E COLONIALISMO:
L’opposizione dovrebbe mettere fine al genocidio a Gaza, alla pulizia etnica in Cisgiordania e al terrorismo dei coloni israeliani.
abdul el sayed and every muslim person around him has been called a radical islamic jihadist terrorist every single day by the entire political spectrum since he won the primary and i haven’t seen a single think piece or major media interview of an arab voter abt how this makes them feel. arab and muslim voters combined make up almost 4% of the electorate. jewish voters make up 1.4% & many of those jewish voters aren’t zionists or will let israel get in the way of preserving american democracy. so we’ve heard endlessly from a tiny group of potential spoiler voters who aren’t getting their way on a deeply unpopular issue- why?
Imagine if a sitting Republican senator said voters should reject Jon Ossoff or Josh Shapiro because they reject Jesus. That would be a big story. This won't be because Islamophobia from powerful Republicans is simply the norm. It's why there's no comparison between the level of Islamophobia and the level of antisemitism in America today. Only one is actively promoted by the state. https://t.co/s1DrOFvh19
Bassem Youssef: "They have healthcare, they have education, they have housing, they have settling, they have killing, and all of that is bankrolled by a lot of our tax money... The definition of a moderate in Israel is the thinnest kid in fat camp."
