“When a country with less than five percent of the world's population has nearly half of the world's privately owned guns and makes up nearly a third of the world's mass shootings, it's time to stop saying guns make us safer.” ..(DaShanne Stokes) .. (cartoon David Horsey)

I'm not going to lie and say the Jewish community in the United States is as anti-genocide as it should be. It's not. Our institutions *cough whatever the fuck the ADL is doing cough* absolutely aren't. BUT.
JUST IN: Convicted Felon Donald Trump is scrambling on an emergency basis to try to convince a federal judge to block production to the BBC of financial documents for more than 400 of his business entities
The American Dream has become an American Nightmare. It’s too expensive to buy a home. It’s too expensive to get married and have kids. It’s too expensive to retire comfortably. The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall.
NYT article providing granular data on Michigan Senate primary. Article notes that El-Sayed did well among younger African American voters in Detroit and actually carried some precincts in downtown Detroit. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The Coalitions That Propelled El-Sayed’s Michigan Victory
Racial and ethnic splits, and a wide lead among younger voters, were enough for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive, to hold off Haley Stevens, a moderate, in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary.

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.
Sending love to my Arab and Muslim friends right now. I see the Islamophobia and racism you're experiencing right now. It's not okay. And this Jewish woman says you're awesome and I'm proud to stand with you. (The only thing I'm mad about is not being able to vote for Mamdani OR El-Sayed.)
I understand there was absolutely nothing that Democrats could have done to prevent Republicans from going full tilt racist about El-Sayed. It's a racist party full of racists But it sure would have been great if the Democrats hadn't told their own base that being like that is perfectly fine
“the jewish immigrant communists are trying to undermine america with race mixing!” became “the muslim immigrant socialists are trying to undermine america with transgenderism!” so gradually that its almost like its aways been the same bullshit
Handy guide to determining if someone should get basic human rights. Is this person human? ---- yes - - - - > Yes | | No ⬇️ You're a bigot. All people are human. Ergo, the answer is still yes.
An Israeli strike destroyed two major medicine warehouses in Deir al-Balah, the latest Israeli attack on Gaza’s failing health system. Gaza’s Health Ministry says medicine shortages are now killing three cancer patients a day.

Anti-genocide people not voting for Harris is totally the same as this spiteful dickhead not voting just to try to prove a point.
Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · 22h agoEl-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!
Still true btw for those who have an odd and totally not racist obsession with bringing up Dearborn or Uncommitted every day
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 4w agoDo centrist Dems realize that the incentive structure they're establishing by admonishing one of the few major Arab American figures who unequivocally endorsed Harris despite nothing being conceded on Gaza? The lesson for those Arabs will be to uh, not do that again.
This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoEl-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office
Bob Brooks isn't going to Washington with a "business as usual" mindset. He's going to fight for working people in #PA07 by lowering costs and cleaning up the corruption.
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.
Absolutely 💯 “The best legacy we can leave our children isn't more infrastructure. It's healthier rivers, cleaner lakes, and protected aquifers.”
