In the runup to the election, I was part of a group of Jewish Democrats in Michigan who had to make a choice. Passions were running high, arguments ensued, but at the end of the day, we decided to support @AbdulElSayed
The response on this platform was immediate, but in too many cases, it was filled with vile, Islamophobic responses. I was called a Nazi and (ironically), a Jew-hater.
So instead of lashing out, I invite you to watch this two-minute video posted by @peterdaou After watching it if you can't at least understand that Abdul is a smart, considerate human and not a terrorist, then I can't help you. But I hope you are open-minded enough to see what we see.
I'm glad this awful election is over, but I'm just as glad to embrace a better future with Abdul in the Senate.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Overheard Gen Z saying there’s no way undiagnosed ADHD adults just white-knuckled school with zero accommodations.
Oh, kids. We didn’t just get through it.
We built whole personalities around masking, got called “smart but lazy” by every teacher, and only learned the name for executive dysfunction in our thirties.
“Over the ‘strongest possible’ objections from the federal prosecutor handling the case, leaders at the Department of Justice quashed plans to bring civil rights charges against an ICE agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant and lying about it.”

Good for her. An emotionally abusive partner will chip away at you little by little pretending that insults and criticisms are “just jokes” or “not a big deal” in the moment. But it’s a very intentional way of trying to break someone down behind the face of a Nice Guy.
Emmett Till should be celebrating his 85th birthday today.
Instead, he was robbed not only of his life, but of every year, relationship, dream, and possibility that should have followed. White supremacy destroys lives, wounds generations, and depends on our willingness to look away.
Remember Emmett. Reject the hatred that killed him. Continue the work of dismantling every system that devalues Black life.

Pretty crazy that in the most gossipy town in America, full of ravenously ambitious people always talking to other ravenously ambitious people, where influence is about knowing firsthand, no journalists know for sure what's going on with Mitch McConnell.
What are the odds.

Hunter Biden on Trump: “I would tell him to go fuck his fucking self. And please leave. This man has tried to torture me for fucking ten years. The shit that he says about my dad. His obsession with tormenting my dad. Hanging a picture of an autopen on the colonnade. Demeaning him and all the things he said about him. What the fuck kind of man would I be if I didn’t tell him to go fuck himself?”
Hunter Biden: “People have been convinced to confuse authenticity with audacity. The audacity of Trump. The audacity to lie in your face. The audacity to say things that are mean and cruel. The audacity to say he’s 6’3, 225 pounds when he’s 5’11 and 380”
A LOT of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.
A jury in New York just convicted a man of stealing two Harlem brownstones with forged deeds, about $4.7 million worth of real estate. One of his victims, an elderly homeowner, spent years in a homeless shelter while he rented the building out as market-rate apartments. He's facing up to 25 years.
