They think Trump had sex with 15-yr-olds. And they’re getting ready to defend it 🫡
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Ainsley Earhardt makes a case for RFK Jr: "When you go to Europe, the food is delicious. It's so fresh. And you don't gain weight if you eat a big bowl of pasta. So we want that to come here to America."

Can we just be honest about this for a fucking second: the current government of the US is using the protection of Jews to disappear people from our streets for their political speech. On your behalf. You got what you wanted. They're the nazis. You're a collaborator.

People don’t realize how big a national story Mamdani will be if he wins.
Overnight, he’ll be turned into the leader of the Democratic Party.

If Bernie enters the convention with a plurality of delegates and leaves without the nomination, it will destroy the Party, alienate a generation of Democrats, and hand another four years to Trump.
Elizabeth Warrens on @MSNBC on why she isn’t supportive of going with the candidate who gets the most delegates on first ballot: ”We need to pick a nominee who can beat Donald Trump and that means we gotta have someone who is talking to all parts of the party. It’s important.”

They’re getting that message from right wing media *interpreting* left wing media for them.
Here a self-aware person provides a window into the exact scenario I warned about. He (I presume) does not wish to gather by race, but also does not wish to be left vulnerable for failing to do so if that is the only option that protects his dignity and his rights.

He is considered a civil rights icon.

The ’60s folk singers didn’t hate Dylan because he went electric, as ‘A Complete Unknown’ suggests. It was because he didn’t care about their lefty politics.

They injured the very priest, Gabriele Romanelli, who used to update the Pope on the situation.
2 church goers were killed, 6 wounded.

Rep. @AOC on Rep. Mace's transgender bathroom measure:
"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Some people disagree, but sending a human being to a holding tank where they might contract a deadly virus and die for the crime of transporting a harmless, barely illegal drug and stealing $2.75 makes you essentially a monster.
Some people may disagree - but transporting ziplock bags of marijuana & a digital scale in your backpack does not make you an essential traveler in the eyes of the Transit police. Hopping a turnstile while doing so didn’t help either. Nice grab by our District 1 team!

Honestly, fuck off, Adam. Waleed and Uncommitted asked the Democrats to give them *anything* they could take back to Arab and Muslim community leaders in the Midwest that would enable them to credibly mobilize their constituencies for Harris. The Dems refused. Give it a rest.
As we chart the path forward, one important thing we can do as a party is to respectfully decline the advice of people who spent the past year helping Trump by telling people not to vote for Democrats.

We're not being used as a "political football." Our safety is being used as justification to detain, disappear, and deport political activists. If you don't think that places a special moral burden on us, as Jews, to reject their logic & fight back, you are a shanda.
Mask-off moment for @SamAdlerBell.
Reminder: 70% of Jews voted Harris. We see through Trump’s claims. We don’t appreciate being used as a political football by the right OR the left.
“Trump lies, so Jews who speak about hatred are ‘the real Nazis’” is both stupid & antisemitic.
