Legit the only way this ends is: 1) Trump caving on the Ayatollbooth and lying about it being a win 2) 500k US infantry occupying Tehran Literally nobody has an appetite for #2 so the result is gonna be #1, only question is how long Trump remains in denial

an end to the U.S. naval blockade and relief from oil sanctions, mediators said. The U.S. and regional governments have rejected the demand for fees and want guarantees that Iran and its proxies won’t threaten their territories, senior regional officials said.-WSJ

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

having trouble reconciling that a. his politics are closer to mine (and yours i imagine) than stevens b. he is objectively weaker in the general than stevens* *assume that the 2026 headwinds will be good enough for him to win but he loses the first time he's up for reelection in an unfriendly env

the ACTUAL thing that worries me most about el-sayed is that he's demonstrably a lot more radical than candidates who have recently won statewide in michigan, but that's boring and obvious

AIPAC sucks and as polling shows is not representative of American Jews, but a message that is pretty much “shut up and dribble” or else we will be forced to believe antiemetic conspiracy theories is gross. If one orgs behavior is getting you there, that is on you.

"In Michigan, AIPAC Is Playing With Fire" As an ostensible defender of Jewish rights, it is unwise to behave like the stuff of antisemitic conspiracy theories. Ryan Cooper for Zeteo:

People need to get it through their heads that whatever they *might* have “actually” meant a couple of years ago, when leftists say “AIPAC” or “Israel” NOW they often mean (((Jewish))) just as when MAGA says “DEI” they mean “Black.” If you can’t get that I don’t know what the else to say.

Because less than 5% of voters know what the civil service even is. Bluesky, you gotta get it through your head that you are in the 0.01% of most informed voters, campaigns need to spoonfeed soundbites & to the 54% of Americans who cannot read at a 6th grade level.

Why is it that I have never heard a legislator on the campaign trail talk about civil service reform or updating USAJobs for the current work force? That’s something not only active and ex-federal employees but prospective federal employees (including students, veterans etc) would want to hear

In 4th grade my class debated Puerto Rican statehood and the pro side was "my cousin is Puerto Rican" and the anti side was "How would you even arrange 51 stars on the flag" and I want to stress that this is the level at which the American public as a whole generally engages with issues.
