I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50
AIPAC is the biggest source of Republican money in Democratic elections, and now they are making clear they will spend even more to defeat Democrats in November. They advocate for policies the vast majority of Democrats viscerally disagree with. No Democrat should be taking money from AIPAC.
I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo
Didn't she accuse him of being obsessed with blaming jews? But ok thanks Haley
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 14h agoA gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
If Stevens won they would not print that moderates didn’t get the big election night they wanted, they would print that moderates have struck back and reasserted their place leading the party
Politico@politico.com · 21h agoProgressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
You could say Abdul El-Sayed won despite $64 million being spent against him… one may also wonder if he won *because* of it
About a year of humanitarian food distributions to Syrian refugees in Lebanon

my takeaway from AES winning is that he needs to drop anything people liked about him, campaign exactly as if haley stevens won and hate himself and his voters as much as her supporters do - The Politics Whiz
Is Haley Stevens going to drop the caricature and go back to how she talked like 2 years ago now or will she keep up the schtick (it-to-em)?
ive been putting up with some version of this talking point for my entire life. barely even notice it anymore. imagine if i said this about jews though. there will never be peace in the middle east until jews shed their genetic propensity for violence against mohammedeans. imagine anyone saying that
Google could fix most of AI's "marketing problem" by killing their stupid fucking AI Overview on searches. Every dumb gotcha screenshot is a product nobody asked for, on by default, in front of a billion people. Anthropic and OpenAI should be paying them to turn it off.
I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.
Susanna Kearsley@susannakearsley.bsky.social · yesterday❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”
just realized my very non-maga SIL looks exactly like riley gaines and i can't wait to call her that relentlessly - at reunions/weddings/dinner/etc im just going to introduce her as "riley" from now on
If it had been a Muslim who blew up a UNESCO site you’d all be crying about the fall of western civilisation and loading explosives into American fighter jets 🤢
Chris⚖️Justice@chrisjustice01.bsky.social · 5d ago💥 700 tons of explosives. Israel detonated 700 tons of explosives beneath Beaufort Castle in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night. A 900-year-old Crusader castle that UNESCO just listed as endangered heritage. @sarahabdallah.bsky.social
These people had everything they wanted and had all the power in the world and what kind of order did they shepherd into existence? The results are in front of us.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 3d agoTemperamentally pro-Israel liberals have to grapple with the fact that they, not pro-Palestine people, have held the reins of government in the US, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, etcetera for decades and decades and they did absolutely nothing to bring about "two-states".
Good thing you can’t just make fake google earth images on ChatGPT, google, huggingface etc
If Dems have a brand problem, perhaps centrists telling voters “I’m not like those other Democrats who hate Jews” has more to do with it than city-run grocery stores

If Fetterman was born 100 years earlier his parents would have just sold him to the circus and everyone wins but the moving picture shows ruined all that

JUST NOW — Schumer Interrupted: “What could be more corrupt than backing genocide? How dare you talk about corruption. It’s amazing you can show your genocidal face in public!”
AIPAC spent $60M so far to prop up Haley Stevens, who is outspending Dr. Abdul El Sayed 12 to 1, and she’s down 16 points. I don’t ever wanna hear “electability” out of the mouths of centrists ever again. New - Senate poll - Michigan 🔵 El-Sayed 57% 🔵 Stevens 41% Emerson # A - LV - 7/27
The $14b is a drop in the bucket. Israel just dragged us into a war with Iran that will cost us 100s of billions of dollars and potentially trillions lost to inflation. The direct aid is terrible, but the special relationship with an aggressive nation committing genocide is even worse.
People tend to not hone in on this part but one of the biggest reasons AIPAC is so noxious for Democrats in particular is because the majority of their donors are Republicans and the majority of their endorsees are Republicans. It's bad that a Democrat courts them and votes with Republicans.
IMEU Policy Project@imeupolicy.bsky.social · 6d agoHaley Stevens’ biggest donor? AIPAC. Maybe that’s why Stevens was just one of 12 Democrats to vote with Republicans to send over $14 billion of our tax dollars for weapons for Israel to commit genocide. Michigan, reject Haley Stevens next Tuesday.
A lot of liberal foreign policy thinkers on here remain totally and intentionally obtuse about what their preferred party and their ideology has wrought in the Middle East and how thoroughly their unconditional support for Israel has discredited them
