a reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans

I love you all but you are incredibly (understandably) reactive. It’s making you SO easily manipulated by rage baiters. When you see something without context, a headline or a snippet of a quote, take a deep breath and look into it to see if you really should be upset. Please protect your hearts.
This is a wonderful answer, and echoes the way I have spoken to my Jewish relatives about why they should care about Palestinian children.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h 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 know we are chalking the success of some leftist candidates almost entirely to the DSA. However, it seems like the more common theme is that these are candidates with organizing experience?
Tried to write “feel like I’m losing my mind” and autocorrect changed it to “feel like I’m going to win”
If the vote counts were reversed, they'd be saying this was the forever end of socialism in the United States. But the left won, so it's actually a loss. Somehow.

Episode 54: Three Cups of Tea One man's mission to build schools, fight terrorism and promote peace, one private jet reimbursement at a time.
Three Cups of Tea - If Books Could Kill
In 1993, a desperate man stumbled into a remote village in the foothills of the Karakoram mountains. After the residents nursed him back to health, he placed his hands on the village elder's shoulders...

Okay this was funny (absolutely right about the pet thing)
I don’t care if the poster was in every dorm room this movie is top fucking tier

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

This is, frankly, the only answer I ever want to hear from anyone on this question.
Ron Skolnik@ronskolnik.bsky.social · yesterdayEl-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike...

extreme income inequality is bad for a lot of reasons but today the one i'm mad at is people having the wealth and power to force me to live inside their delusions
yeah, Alan's right. Harris overperformed compared to global incumbent parties and did better in swing states where people saw both campaigns. so if Cheney did anything, it likely helped around the edges. But probably it had little effect.
Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social · 2d agoI just don’t think Liz Cheney doing a couple campaign events cost Harris the election. People who are too on here already knew if they were or weren’t going to vote for her. Normies who aren’t either too online or political junkies did not decide based on this. This is vibes and cope.
Irrationally angry that my kids’ school just announced massive changes to their lunch menu to things that are very healthy (& posh sounding) & most kids simply will not eat (& many kids would rather skip a meal & feel like shit than eat a thing they don’t want).
Quick question in Star Trek IV does anyone ever say “Whaliens”?
Finally reading (listening to) Children of Strife & i do not understand how Adrian Tchaikovsky continues to surprise me so much with this series but I love it
ANOTHER death in ICE custody, this time at the controversial Delaney Hall facility. This makes 54 deaths since Trump took office; 1 every 8 days in 2026. His mother says he was denied adequate medical care for chronic conditions, a common accusation ICE has strenuously denied.
Luca Migo@victinibcn.bsky.social · 2d agoBreaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup

As an ADHD non-AI user: very early I started calling LLMs dopamine machines to friends. They’re like slot machines: stimulating, tiny chance of big reward w/lots of small ones, executive function seizing, feedback loop generating, low effort. You literally pay with TOKENS. It’s gambling mechanics
Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · 2d agoAs a confirmed dopamine addict who has thrown myself off bridges and out of a plane in the past chasing some of that sweet stuff, I genuinely don't get it
It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
