Let’s stop branding everyone we disagree with as monster else when the monster really comes no one would believe you.

@mehdirhasan @CasMudde What should really worry all of us as nation that this verdict may encourage both sides to arm themselves and be on their toes in any conflict to shoot first.
The least charitable take away from this verdict is better to shoot first and kill the other guy then claim selfdefense

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

“The most worrying effect of this verdict may be this: giving rightwing vigilantes a legal precedent to take up arms against anyone they consider a threat…means it is now open hunting season on progressive protesters.” #mustread from ⁦@CasMudde⁩ https://t.co/5DRl1rVFyn

@AviMayer @KimIversenShow Come on you know how stupid that sounds!
Are there believers of other faiths like Islam who can be labeled Jews
Are there believers in Judaism who can not be called Jews
If answer to both is no, then it is faith and faith alone that determines who is Jew. The degree may differ

Thank you for goysplaining Judaism to me, Kim!

The entirety of Jewish history, from biblical days until the present, disagrees with you.

The Jews are a people, have always viewed themselves as such, and have always been recognized by others as such.

The idea that Judaism is a faith alone is a modern invention that is less than 250 years old and flies in the face of documented history.

@nikasoonshiong @tparsi Desire to protect and defend Israel is blowing up every Western institution one by one upon which the vaunted Western civilization was built

I have been informed that I'm no longer a member of the Committee to Protect Journalists board. Below is the email I sent the board last night.

@SohrabAhmari @havivrettiggur Not sure what qualifies as sophisticated defense of Israel
Now all defense of Israel consists of
- opponents and critics are antisemites
- accusations are blood libels

I’ll appear on @havivrettiggur’s podcast next week. I think it’ll be a one-of-a-kind conversation because Haviv is inarguably the most sophisticated defender of the Israeli Right, while I represent a critical, almost-old-school-Left-Zionist position.

@karimfranceschi By calling people like Spencer a moron, you give them a way out.
He is not stupid. He knows what he is doing. He is a propagandist for Israel. He was invited by IDF. He was embedded in there. He is spreading lies on their behalf. Truth be damned.
Media plays into that.

The problem isn’t that John Spencer is biased. It’s that he’s stupid enough to believe his own propaganda. If 7 out of 8 people you kill are civilians (IDF leaks), bragging about having “the best ratio in history” isn’t just evil, it’s fucking moronic. 1/2

[Zaigham A Kazmi @kzaigha]

@msdeehj1 @magi_jay I don’t need to live in NY to know NY news. It is 2026. The party establishment/leadership did not endorse Mamdani in time. They did not actively stop Cuomo from running as third party candidate.
You know it was not because it is safe seat. They did not want Mamdani.

[Zaigham A Kazmi @kzaigha]

@magi_jay He is being hypocritical in typical dem fashion
He would have had more credibility if he had used the same logic to demand that dem party support democratically elected NYC mayoral nominee Mamdani and block Cuomo

[Zaigham A Kazmi @kzaigha]

@ggreenwald @DropSiteNews @piersmorgan @SpencerGuard I have been waiting for years for someone to ask Spencer this question. This is very basic and should have been the first question on every show.
Just goes to show how our media supports Israeli propaganda they have let this propagandist - he was embedded by IDF - roam unchecked

"How many civilians have actually been killed?! You don't know, do you?"

Piers Morgan grills John Spencer on his claim that Israel's ratio of civilian deaths to combatants in Gaza is "the best ratio in modern warfare".

@harrisonjaime Did you tell that to party leadership when they refused to support Mamdani during NYC mayoral election: be on the team and all that sh**
Why do you expect these guys to support party when party did not support them

Since we are using football analogies:

It’s like joining a football team because it’s the only way to get on the field.

You put on the jersey, but you spend every day telling everyone the team is terrible, the coach is awful, and the organization deserves to lose.

Then, when it’s your turn to carry the ball, you expect those same teammates to block for you.

If you’re on the team, then be on the team. Push us to be better. Challenge us. Make us stronger. Every good team needs that. But don’t just use the team so you can get on the field. At some point, you’ve got to be willing to block for somebody else, help recruit new talent, and make the whole team better.

Because if the team loses, everybody loses.

[Zaigham A Kazmi @kzaigha]

@harrisonjaime For many, the party has strayed so far that there is no fixing
The only way to make it better is to destroy and then rebuild
You guys are too beholden to corporate America, have outdated notion of foreign policy (all the wars all the time), too spineless to stand up to AIPAC

Y’all keep thinking this is ideological for me. It isn’t.

Our party has socialists, progressives, New Dems, Blue Dogs, moderates, and everything in between. I’ve worked with all of them.

Hell, I ran the House Democratic whip operation with 90 Progressives, 45 New Dems, and 45 Blue Dogs in a House where we had just a 15 seat majority. We cast more roll call votes and passed more legislation than any House in history because we understood that governing meant finding common ground.

That’s not my beef.

My question is simple: Are you working constructively to make the party better, or are you just there to piss all over it?

We already have one political party trying to defeat us. We can’t afford to spend all our time fighting a second front inside our own ranks.

If you’re on the team, be on the team. Push us. Challenge us. Make us better. But help us win.

[Zaigham A Kazmi @kzaigha]

@harrisonjaime I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you can’t support the values of your voters and fight for the policies they demand, please resign. A political party is moved by its voters. It is not a vehicle to do the biddings for billionaire class.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.

Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Focus on building the party you actually support.

Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.

@RepJoshG You must be out of your freaking mind to claim that call to stop mass murders, massacres and heinous war crimes is the same as calling for the killings of an ethnic group
This sh** does not work anymore
