All I have is sarcasm and the law. Using both, depending on the day, as a public defender.

@barbarismcrit She yells at one Palestinian disabled activist online and a few months later she is politically homeless, on Bari Weiss’ Free Press? I know I framed that like it’s surprising, but honestly, that tracks.

@themeasuredtake The fact that you ask probably means you’ll be ok. This goes back a ways though. https://t.co/F7aGzwl0ry

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

I’m accepting apologies btw.

@BookerGWash @BreeNewsome Not exactly silent, but definitely not forceful. he should have considered cancelling the meeting . . . https://t.co/xYtOb9D0Q8

Notable: Mayor Mamdani’s press team called on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico during today’s press conference with Trump, days after Trump banned all three outlets from the White House.

@charizardavis @ThirdWayTweet I chuckled at “introspection” but i was pointing out my own naivite there. They do look inward & conclude, “i’m obviously always right. Just got to persist & tell the donors “we just need to increase the social media budget one more time and we’ll finally have a breakthrough.”

@themeasuredtake @hasanthehun It’s more egalitarian that way.

[rania @rainiareed]

Well then get back to the negotiating table and open the fuckin’ strait!

@offbeatorbit I think a subscription to Highlights magazine would be a good investment for her.

[rania @rainiareed]

Yeah maybe now they’ll wanna do fewer stories where they deny atrocities & make the argument that famine caused by a genocide isn’t so bad when it primarily kills sick and/or disabled children And anniversary reflections of that horrific story where the “reporter” plays victim 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

I disagree with you. Maybe that was true in 2013 but these people have been legitimized into the highest forms of govt. They have millions of $$ and command massive audiences. I have, and always will, always allow any of these big right wing media outlets (which--again-- have FAR FAR FAR more power and influence and reach than I do) to give me access to their audiences. I *want* to speak to their audiences, I think it's crucial to reach those people and you cannot reach those audiences but staying in a very narrow bubble. Again, this has always been my approach bc I want to speak to a wide swath of the public, as wide as possible.

@maysoonzayid @barbarismcrit 😂 - Queen!

[rania @rainiareed]

@infinite_jaz Can us non-Jews atone for our very obvious and consuming jealousy on this day or is that sacrilegious?

[rania @rainiareed]

Mikey, do you have a crush on Hasan? You’re not focused on important things at work (gas prices/tariffs/etc), you always bring him up in unrelated conversations, & you obsessively check his socials to know what he’s up to & have your friends do that too. Girl, try to play it cool

[rania @rainiareed]

@LexiAIexander @RainbowMojo26 You mean Becky with the bad hair?

[rania @rainiareed]

@dontsippy But also some of Abdul’s online critics don’t like Hasan either . . .

[rania @rainiareed]

@ryangrim What property?

[rania @rainiareed]

@themeasuredtake Agreed but I’m specifically talking about the language, not the tone. And this was my follow up but replies are silly on here. https://t.co/w5oB72UPTM

[rania @rainiareed]

@themeasuredtake I think it’s a nice ad, and campaigning for everyone and to everyone is what politicians do (as they should!). Other people being disingenuous in their attacks shouldn’t & hasn’t stopped Abdul from showing up and letting people know he has their back.

@themeasuredtake Not what he’s saying. Obviously those raising alarm about Abdul & Jewish community are doing so b/c they are Zionists who care about Israel. And Jewish people who aren’t Zionists recognize that those concerns have nothing to do with AES’ actual relationship w/ Jewish community.

[rania @rainiareed]

@lionel_trolling @yuanyi_z Arguably another thing to atone for

[Mike Rogers @MikeRogersForMI]

Abdul El Sayed’s running mate continues to do the unthinkable and is now insinuating that Haley Stevens is a Nazi.

How many unconscionable things does Hasan have to do before @AbdulElSayed will disavow him?

Is Abdul running to represent Michigan or to be a rubber stamp for Hasan Piker’s dangerous and hateful rhetoric? Feels like the latter.
