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.

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!

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.

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)

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.

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”

We have endless reports trying to solve the inscrutable mystery of why Stevens endorsed Rogers and not a single one I’ve seen has mentioned that her primary campaign was funded almost entirely by Republican donors, namely Paul Singer and Jan Koum via AIPAC. Isn’t this relevant?
On Sunday, the Michigan congresswoman Haley Stevens was supposed to accompany Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate in the state’s Senate race, to an event at a church. Instead, she showed up at a different church, with the Republican candidate Mike Rogers, and filmed a video in her car announcing that she would be endorsing Rogers—not El-Sayed. When Ruby Cramer spoke with Stevens this morning, she was excited to talk about what she described as the “moment of clear conscience” that settled into her body and mind when she decided to accompany Rogers to church. “I was invited to that church by Democrats,” she said. “I don’t have Mike Rogers’s phone number. Like, I think everyone thinks I’m in some sort of cahoot.” Read Cramer on her conversations with Stevens and with her friends in the Party: newyorker.com/news/the-polit…

I assumed it was made up. It's not. Apple Maps has reinstated old imagery of Gaza. So all the buildings still exist. The left is Apple and the right is Google of Rafah, a city that is entirely "erased" by the IOF. What stage of propaganda for Israel is this?

There are two registered foreign agents for the state of Israel standing behind her as she says this
Stevens: We have to stand with country. We can't stand with Hasan Piker.

it is impossible to spin this in a way that makes this dude look like anything but a fucking ghoul, sorry
Adam Robinson died Sunday in a jet crash with his wife and two little kids. He built tools that take an anonymous visit to a website and turn it into a real name and contact info. His company kept a digital file on people. That's the raw material of a surveillance state. Data like this doesn't stay in marketing. It gets bought, merged, and fed into the same systems that track where you go, what you read, and who you are. But he did it differently. He bootstrapped everything. He never took big VC money, and there was no board pushing him to grow the data as fast as possible or sell to someone bigger. He kept his companies lean and profitable, so he got to decide how far the data went, who got it, and under what rules. Most founders in this space lose that option once the money comes in. A surveillance state runs on cheap, easy access to personal information. It doesn't love founders who can say no and stay independent. Who controls these companies matters more than people realize. When the founder still has control, the limits stay tight. When he doesn't, the data flows wherever the power wants it.

The most prestigious liberal magazine in the US folks, a cesspool of liberal racism and fanatic zionism dressed up in pseudo academic rigor and Seriousness. And to boot it’s parent company is now heavily invested in Skydance, OpenAI and Anthropic

Actual Israeli agents directing US politicians to publicly denounce their own party's candidates. 😑 Israel openly manipulates US elections.
The Rogers spokesperson you see starting this press conference is Abby Ronson. She is currently registered as a foreign agent for the state of Israel, according to @DropSiteNews reporting today

The “principle” here is the right to kill toddlers indefinitely. Im not being glib, all the mopey “Jewish safety” rhetoric from Stevens is sandwiched between demands of fidelity to Israel’s “security” which—as a matter of reality—entails open-ended slaughter of a caged population
It is so rare to see anyone stand up for principle over party these days. What a moment.
