Here are the top donors to Jeffries in 2024. I’m curious if people doing this bit think this has more bearing on the racial politics of his support than photo-ops at DSA meetings. Do these seem like orgs concerned w/ people of color? Do they seem like orgs led by people of color?
Lots of talk about whatever Woke 1 was and why the left should bear responsibility for it in recent weeks. The idea that people disagree with Democratic leadership because they're white is still alive and well, however.

Charming people
An aggressive Zionist at the Philadelphia bike ride protest went next door to a restaurant with a sign saying “no public restrooms 🇵🇸” and began swearing, threatening, and acting antisemitically.

Really shocked many are shocked by this. Except for a sliver of secular or reform types, most Jewish families are very hostile to the idea of intermarriage. In many, it's absolutely forbidden. The talking points, e.g. preserving purity and autheniticity, mirror white supremacy.
"Anti-racist" ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tells Israeli podcast his family will NOT engage in intermarriage. "My children are Jews and they will create Jewish families in Jewish households. End of story. Non-negotiable."

Businesses that contribute to supporting the Israeli genocide of Palestinians deserve to be shut down.
My Administration has been in touch with local officials in Philadelphia ahead of the planned protest on Sunday that’s designed to intimidate and drive Jewish businesses out of our communities. Hate and antisemitism have no place in our Commonwealth. And I’m grateful to state and local law enforcement who will work to make sure our neighborhoods remain safe this weekend. cnn.com/2026/11/05/us/philad…

Ok so now that actual Israeli officials are commenting on a bike ride in Philadelphia we can all acknowledge that this was clearly an elaborate targeted smear campaign orchestrated by Zionist organizations from the start and not anything resembling an organic response yeah?
In Philadelphia, it's November 9, 1938 all over again. Is torching synagogues and beating up Jews also on the agenda for the ride?

These poor Zionist businesses! All they did was vocally & materially support genocide, and now they’re being bullied with nobody to defend them except the mayor, city council, governor, senators, state and federal reps, the ADL, billionaire-funded orgs… They’re the true victims!

Yet another thing Ed is right about
If you are predisposed to defend Jensen Huang you have the mindset of a peasant

But they keep violating those terms, and aren't treated as other nations are, so the answer is simply yes. But he can't say that, because he doesn't actually want to treat Israel like other nations or follow federal law on this.
.@jonfavs: Would you restrict weapons sales at all [to Israel]? Shapiro: America sells weapons to lots of countries...and should those nations violate the terms of the sales, they would no longer be permitted to purchase those weapons. I think Israel should be treated as other nations are.

Now imagine that the reason that you’re shivering in the rain is because of one group of people. Then imagine that same group of people killed your uncle.
Anyone who has camped in serious rain knows how miserable it can be, especially when your attempts to keep the rain out fail. All you want is to feel dry again. When it’s cold it’s exponentially worse. When you’re with your kids, you feel awful for them as they shiver. Now imagine the tent is your forced home, the water keeps rising, and there’s nowhere to go to get dry or warm.

There are over 1000 Jewish-owned businesses across Philly. Only 7 are being protested for providing material support to a terrorist organization. You are a goddamned fool.

This “Israel should be treated like every other country” line is a clever dodge. It has everything: flattening genocide with other human rights abuses, vaguely implies antisemitism (Free Space), avoids any normative determination & defers to a mysterious far off IHL finding (1/2)

He’s directly imposing his views on his children and because of his position as a public figure speaking on a public stage, he’s imposing his views on tons of other people. Why are you like this? What is wrong with you?
I have a million criticisms of Jonathan Greenblatt. His stewardship of the ADL has been a moral disaster. But it's not bigoted for him to want his kids to create Jewish families so long as he doesn't impose his views on anyone else.

This man is a simpleton and not only should not be leader, he doesn’t belong in the goddamn chamber.
Schumer: What I do as the leader is I'm the orchestra leader. I am not the best bassoonist. I highlight that person. I am not the great virtuoso singer. I highlight that person.

FYI: Boycotting restaurants that raised $100K for a group aiding IDF soldiers during the genocide in gaza is not antisemitism.
FYI: Boycotting Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or anywhere else is antisemitism.

Liking the free press is somehow a redder flag than Fox fucking news

The first genocide in history where nominal allies calling it a genocide also think the genocidal party ought to have “defensive” weapons lest they suffer any consequence or pushback from said genocide. Completely nonsensical and chickenshit

the level of racism permitted against Muslims is seemingly boundless. This outlet posts on CBS and is viewed as a mainstream, if slightly conservative, source of information. This is pure nazi rhetoric and its rise is in inverse proportion to Israel’s standing with the US public.

Worth noting MSNOW has never asked a single politician what their plan was to protect Muslims or to promote “Muslim safety”. I studied the past three years from ten major media outlets and found Jewish safety was mentioned 4,200% more than Muslim/Arab safety, at 254-to-6
MSNOW: What is your message now to Jewish voters nationally and what you will do to protect them? Abdul El-Sayed: I’m committed to Jewish safety, and we are united against discrimination. The U.S. spends billions to carry out genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The genocide in Gaza with our complicity is continuing right now. Nobody wants to talk about that.

Finding out that these people actually do know how to make sense, but are paid not to, is always jarring
Sunshine: We were spending time talking about Hasan Piker and El-Sayed. Hasan Piker and El-Sayed were spending time talking to voters about “hey, maybe you don't want to send your money to overseas wars”
