Dave Weigel: “When Fox News is booking you and covering you, might that be for the same reason Republican PACs spend to help progressive candidates? That they see you as easier to beat?”
Abdul El-Sayed: “It’s amazing to me how deeply they’re misjudging this. I’m like: You have never fought a counterpuncher. The number of times I’m gonna define and redefine Mike Rogers! We’re talking about an anti-charismatic old school politician who doesn’t even know what he believes, except for he wants to make himself rich off of the rest of us. You know what I’m gonna do to that man? By the time I’m done, his best friends are gonna look at him and think what I think, say what I say. I’m gonna define him into eternity. Good, help me beat the crap out of you. Little parts of your vestiges — politically — are gonna be scattered all over the state of Michigan, never to be seen again. You say “Mike Rogers,” it’ll be like: “Remember when Abdul just completely demolished that man’s political future?” By the time I’m done with him, people are going to be calling him Five Dollar Rogers.”
Weigel: “Why five dollars?”
El-Sayed: “Because of $5 gas and how he’ll do whatever you want him to do for five bucks.”
Common Democrat problem: pass some bill they tell themselves was a BFD, but what got it passed was selling out the bill’s core principle so as not to disturb incumbents, so it doesn’t solve the problem. Then they get really mad when voters don’t agree the problem is solved.
remember when young people on TikTok discovered the Osama Bin Laden letter to America published on the Guardian site wherein he talks about the Zionist Israeli occupation and destruction of Palestine fully backed by the US creating resentment in the entire region, it went viral, and then the Guardian responded by deleting the article and TikTok banned any mention of it?
These sentences are a travesty and totally unjustified, but that's the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime, so the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force. NSPM-7 is a grave threat to all of us and more bullshit "terrorism" charges like these are coming. https://t.co/LBREZVVY6D
This is insane:
• UofM cracks down on and arrests anti-genocide student protesters
• Ann Arbor prosecutor Eli Savit declines to prosecute
• UofM recruits MI AG and Zionist lunatic Dana Nessel to personally prosecute the case—HIGHLY unusual for such low-level charges
• Nessel forced to drop all charges to preempt court finding her unable to fairly prosecute the case due to her bias against Arabs and Muslims as well as her ties to Zionist extremist groups caught attempting to influence the court
• Nessel (a Democrat!) turns to Trump DoJ and Kash Patel to bring felony conspiracy charges against the students
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer caught on a hot mic talking about the controversial Al data center being built despite overwhelming opposition: "We're used to people saying 'f*ck no!', and then doing it anyway."
Water is the pulse of life — and the U.S. is deliberately targetting the lifeblood of the Iranian people.
As part of its aggression against Iran, the U.S. military has deliberately struck vital civilian water infrastructure in Sirik, Hormozgan, destroying two reservoirs with a combined capacity of 2,500 cubic meters.
These facilities supplied drinking water to more than 20,000 residents across ten villages.
This is not collateral damage — it is a calculated war crime and a flagrant violation of human rights and international humanitarian law.
The U.S. must be held accountable for committing such systematic brutal attacks on civilian life-sustaining infrastructure.
I cannot get this New York Times headline from yesterday out of my head. One important form of propaganda is subtly lying about who is the attacking aggressor and who is framed as merely “responding.”
Graham Platner on Iran: “Everybody sees that Donald Trump started it because he doesn’t want us paying attention to the Epstein Files because he’s in them. It was a war he started because Benjamin Netanyahu has been begging for it for 30 years and he finally found an American president dumb enough to go through with it”
The fact that Graham Platner was moved by Michael Brooks, mourning his death in 2020, is enough to know he'd be a better politician than 99% of people in congress. And up against Republican Susan Collins.. what is there even a debate about.
