@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.

Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.

So, for some reason, we're still talking about a movie no one likes and will tank at the box office to the tune of three quarters of a *billion* dollars in less than two weeks for having 15min of minorities in it? Cool. Here's my review of it. filmfreakcentral.net/2026/07/the-...
