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."
@jackmoli.bsky.social
In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.
(regular voter voice) Well ah I don't really know about Israel and all that but it sounds like this group wants to help Trump keep the Senate and enable his ongoing crime spree and I'm against that
AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."
Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.
Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.
Leftists winning popular elections is very divisive. How are you supposed to unify a country with this sort of thing. I ask you.
@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.
The only way to use the toilet safely and without fear is to bring one with you wherever you go. Buy a portable AMERICAN bathroom now.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
It’s wild to have people this morning blithely pronounce that “the money didn’t really matter” in a race where one candidate got outspent 12:1 and won by ONE point. That’s some willful ignorance.
remember when Sheryl invited a bunch of feminist bloggers to dinner and they all wrote nice things about her airport book being the future of feminism
Lean In To Fascism
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Don't let anyone gaslight you. Tonight was a HUGE win and represents a seismic shift in Democratic politics.
Don't fall for it TX! As soon as those assholes win their elections, it's full steam ahead. youtu.be/n6qf403wEPM?...

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
It’s apparently become one of if not the most expensive races of its kind, mostly due to AIPAC (pro Israel funding org in the US) trying to push forward pro Israel centrist against pro Palestine left winger. Extraordinary numbers
This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.
he ran against the full force of the zionist establishment and won. unbelievable victory
