يقتل القتيل ويمشي في جنازته You’ll cry and then do nothing.

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.

El-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?"

In any other country, for example, you criticize the equivalent of Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz for facilitating the slide to the far right. And that's without active participation in genocide! Yet on this issue, you only talk about "AIPAC/Bibi". Why is that?

Fascinating interview with Robert Kagan, where he says that the biggest mistake of the Iraq war was that it permanently crippled the American public's conceptualization of their country's role in the world, and then admits that America is exceedingly Islamophobic and this informs foreign policy.

Robert Kagan: Sometimes US intervention is worth blowback

In a wide-ranging interview with RS, the hawkish historian talks primacy, neoconservatives, and why he opposes the war in Iran

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

Do 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.

"Arab American endorses the Democratic nominee for president even though she refused to budge on the question of whether or not Palestinians being killed by US made bombs was bad" doesn't make the Arab American in question look bad, it makes the person attacking them look bad.

El-Sayed says criticism he supported Uncommitted is “sad and desperate.” He tells me he endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign because he was serving Wayne County and understood the threat of Donald Trump. 

“It was the most frustrating 107 days of my political existence.”

Abdul built a primary campaign rooted in the belief that human rights are universal, and that we can invest in our communities instead of endless wars. He didn't back down on his commitments to end Israel's genocide and apartheid. Congratulations @abdulelsayed.bsky.social On to November!

A 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…
