Why do people think its okay to take this "advice" a wealthy white man who have never faced economic adversity? This condescending bullshit is not helpful, but they use it to cover up discussing systemic oppression that financially benefits the 1%.
Congratulations!!!!!
Missing our Election Night coverage today for a very good reason 👶🏾🩵. But I’ll be watching and cheering on my colleagues from afar. Hope you tune in also! CNN.com/allaccess
Look, I'm just a middle-aged smuck who has followed politics since I was a wee child from the outside. But I do recognize this as being a very, very bad move during a horrible campaign. There has to be people around him to tell him NO.
WOW. This is so spot on. And I hope it brings a lot of clarity to people who judge folks on their appearance.
This stupid minge thinks she has so much power that she can influence Black voters from not supporting El Sayed. Like someone would consider the views from a woman that called Black women politicians "ghetto bitches." Chile, everyone hates us. But still we rise..#cantstopwontstop
Jesus Christ.
But on the other hand, if you are used to calling Black people niggers behind closed doors, than perhaps this is a real issue.

Breaking my own rule and writing a Twitter essay...
Two days before the midterms, Haley Stevens, the beneficiary of AIPAC’s record-setting $30 million in her primary, appeared with Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit where she claimed that Rogers would “take on” investing in Black-owned businesses. She then endorsed him.
This attempted ratfuck is galling for any number of reasons, but what disgusts me most is the willingness of these genocidal white politicians to use Black voters as human shields for their racism against Abdul El-Sayed. Rogers has run one of the most racist Senate campaigns this century, and yet, Stevens is now climbing aboard while ostensibly professing concern for Black voters.
This is an instructive moment in understanding why Zionists must be purged from the party: as believers in a supremacist project themselves, they view Black voters as a faction to be weaponized, not as constituents who deserve genuine representation. They are saboteurs in the broader fight for racial justice. A belief in an ethnostate sustained through apartheid, force, genocide, and domination is fundamentally incompatible with an anti-fascist, anti-racist coalition.
Good luck browbeating the Democratic electorate into supporting some pro-Israel corporate centrist in the 2028 presidential election after this saga.
Lady, you had a choice to not say anything at all. You could have voted for Rogers and no one would know. But because the brown "terrorist" wouldn't tap-dance and shuck and jive for you over an ad he didn't have anything to do with, this is what you do?
Let me say something: Jewish people, according to Rogers, are afraid of going outside for fear of anti-Semitism. What about Black people who get harassed because of the color of their skin? For doing nothing, but breathing? And this is somehow Muslim's fault? GTFOH.
Any they are talking about stopping "hate" when Rogers made a racist barb at El Sayed 24 hours ago? Why is it okay for Islamophobia to fester? And Steven says this is a personal decision....so why are you in front of a microphone? Fucking hell.
Hayley Stevens is one traitorous weakling and its obvious why she was not the Dem candidate in Michigan. It's truly disgusting that she put bigotry in front of helping people who would benefit from a Democratic senator. Maybe they will be, but what she did today is outrageous.
This woman chose run in a Black district, knowing that she would win. But yet, she is demanding that an Egyptian man must apologize for being muslim and he has to tap-dance so Jewish folks dont feel scared? Amazing how one man from a Muslim population of millions has to grovel.
Vance, Kushner and Wilkoff do not know what the fuck they are doing. What happened to the negotiators - the real ones - that worked with Obama? Can America not find people like them to work on this? Like, someone with actual foreign policy experience? Is this too much to ask for?

He couldn't give a fuck about America. He's only worried that his sorry ass will land in jail and maybe even more worrisome, is that the government will rescind his contracts.
This is frightening. I live in a predominately Black neighborhood with a large amount of African immigrants, and there are a lot of beautiful kids like this one, simply being kids. What a damn shame.
