Michigan’s Muslim population is 2-3 times larger than its Jewish population. The feelings of the latter get blanket attention, whereas I’ve seen no analysis or reporting on how Michigan Muslims feel about Rogers’ messaging and ads suggesting his Muslim opponent is a terrorist
"Lamento que Flavio se haya ido de Brasil, porque podría probar acá que las acusaciones no son verdaderas. El acto de salir de Brasil es una vergüenza. Cuando me pidieron mi pasaporte, lo entregué. Para la familia Bolsonaro, Brasil es la segunda patria: la primera es EEUU"

"Do you worry [Abdul El-Sayed] is a bit too left wing to win in Michigan?"
Michigan voter "At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell so at this point socialist, socialise, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living"
Twelve soldiers + police showed up in Taybeh olive field to stop a single Palestinian olive farmer from harvesting a single tree. After harassing him for 30+ minutes, a car full of some sort of special police officers stormed in and violently arrested the journalist/activist @the_andrey_x. One of the arresting officers shoved me, then showed me his bloody elbow and said I did it to him. (So if they take me next, that’s probably their pretense.) Second and third videos are other angle of the shove (including it here to be safe). Fourth video is from just before—the major military operation to stop a farmer from picking olives. Fascist state.
He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm.
Wonder what’s changed?
Portnoy: This guy refuses to answer questions about all of these red flags and whenever you ask him, he says it’s racist. No, you have a million red flags. I have a niece and nephew. I won't send them to the University of Michigan—especially if this guy's elected…
Speaking of dehumanization and double standards, is there a reason NYT editorially calls Israeli captives, including IDF soldiers, “hostages,” and Palestinians locked in cages without trial (or kangaroo trails) “detainees”? Rather than using the more neutral “captives” for both?
israel first dems represent virtually no real constituency for the democrats, and yet make up 90% of the commentary on mainstream media. interesting dynamic.
I dont know if this is real or campaign talk. I also don't know if the White House has thought about getting approval from Congress. But this would face gigantic, gigantic hurdles.
Goes without saying that if Zohran featured an AI version of Netanyahu in a campaign ad there’d be endless media outrage cycles and cries of “Jew hatred”
NEW: Former US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll reportedly met with Trump to inform him that the Iran war was making it impossible to achieve foreign-policy goals, Trump talked exclusively about his ballroom in response, causing Driscoll to resign believing the admin was “doomed.”
This statement is, per usual, mopey bullshit. When David Ellison bought Paramount last year he issued a press release in The Jerusalem Post making clear the deal would be good for Israel, highlighting his FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE IDF. This is not a “trope” it’s what he said.
Abdul El-Sayed: “To be anti-Israel is not the same as to be anti-Jewish. We have a responsibility to stand up and remind folks that Judaism and the Jewish people are a light unto the world, that my commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment to my own daughter’s safety. I know what it’s like to be discriminated against for how I pray. But I do reject the idea that somehow criticizing Israel and Israel’s actions and a genocide that was perpetrated by our tax dollars is the same as the idea of rejecting anybody for their faith or their identity”
aipac boss call was made. they are unanimous in their hatred of me, and i welcome their hatred. if you’re a defender of israel’s genocide, of its occupation, of its child killing spree - then your boos mean nothing to me
I can't believe these small city-sized warehouses that hum all day and use massive amounts of energy during an affordability crisis got so unpopular, did we go wrong by saying they needed to be built to take away everyone's jobs or to destroy humanity, let's workshop this again
We live in a country where the entire political and media class talks about antisemitism every day, conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel, meanwhile prominent Republican members of Congress are saying this with zero pushback from political or media elites.
