🔵 Alex Vindman, the retired lieutenant colonel who rose to fame testifying in Trump’s first impeachment, is running for US Senate in Florida as a Democrat while refusing to call Israel’s slaughter in Gaza a genocide.
Confronted at a recent event over his support for Israel, Vindman declined to explain his support.
He faces progressive state Rep. Angie Nixon of Jacksonville in the August 18 primary. Nixon has centered the plight of Palestinians since the genocide’s early weeks, most memorably when her question on the Florida House floor, ‘How many dead Palestinians will be enough?’, drew a Republican colleague’s shout of ‘All of them,’ in a moment that went viral. She was arrested in May protesting DeSantis’s mid-decade gerrymander and accuses the party establishment of rigging the race for Vindman, who holds $6.5 million to her $178,000 and has so far declined the debates she has accepted.
The winner faces Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, appointed by DeSantis to Marco Rubio’s seat when Rubio became secretary of state. Recent general election polling shows Moody leading Vindman 47-40 per an Associated Industries of Florida survey, while Vindman’s campaign touts a Change Research poll showing him within three and tied among likely voters.

Soldiers took her from her family's home at 3 a.m. exactly a month ago on June 2. She told them she was an American but they didn't care.
really boring tried argument. Football is more than government’s co-optation of it. Every single government will try to claim football victories, Egypt isn’t an outlier. God forbid a population living under 30$ a month tries and finds joy in the nation’s beloved sport. Plus we’re a country with a history of attempts by fans to reclaim football for the fans to the extent that they were killed and jailed for it. To try and frame football in the country as a something that the state only owns is absurd to me.
Ibrahim Hassan, brother of the Egypt national team manager, had a verbal brawl with a Dallas police officer that included many F*** yous. Reports say it was because the officer chased away a kid who wanted a picture or something like that. I warn everyone in Dallas: don’t piss off Ibrahim. That was him when he was younger 👇
اعتاد الإسرائيلي على تسييس كل مشهد في المونديال، حتى زجاجة المياه التي يشربها اللاعبون، هذه لقطة مزعجة جدا لقتلة الأطفال، وستتحدث عنها صحافتهم باستفاضة في الصباح، ونتمنى رؤيتها من الفريق المغربي المنتصر غدا إن شاء الله…!

Amishav Melet, the settler who leads the Turmus’ayya outpost, was at the scene of today’s attack. Last October, he aimed a gun at me, made a call, then disappeared moments before a mob of settlers ambushed me. Israeli authorities know he is a menace—and he has their full support.
🚨 Months ago, The Intercept lost control of its Signal tip line to an unknown third party, which has been operating it actively.
The Intercept recently learned of the breach and posted the innocuous-sounding update below, chalking up a change in the Signal account username to "security best practices."
In reality, it's a devastating operational security collapse and The Intercept should publicly address it so that sources who may have been trying to leak to the outlet understand they may have been compromised.
Please share this post so potential sources become aware of the risk they may have been duped into. Details below:
