Michigan’s Muslim population is 2-3 times larger than its Jewish population. The feelings of the latter get blanket attention, whereas I’ve seen no analysis or reporting on how Michigan Muslims feel about Rogers’ messaging and ads suggesting his Muslim opponent is a terrorist
If you're trying to understand why so many Michigan Jewish Democrats are defecting, I wrote in August about it. It's not, per se, about foreign policy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

New Democrats have repeatedly raised concerns about the UAE’s human rights record with the Liberals – including the UAE’s role in the genocide in Sudan.
Canada should not sign a trade deal with a country fueling genocide and weapons should not be shipped while this continues.

Bom, o golpe foi dado. Tá todo mundo vendo, tá sendo televisionado. Um monte de regiões metropolitanas sem ônibus para as pessoas irem votar, sem transporte público!
Pra mim, isso já configura fraude eleitoral.
Porque, simplesmente, o povo tá sendo impedido de exercer seu direito ao voto. E isso é gravíssimo!

Red alert in Salvador 🚨 🇧🇷 Bolsonaro’s allies are shutting down public bus service in order to suppress the popular vote: one of the dirtiest tricks in the authoritarian playbook.
🚨 URGENTE! A Justiça acaba de determinar a prisão do Secretário de Mobilidade de Salvador, apoiador de Bolsonaro, por reter a frota de ônibus em garagem, dificultando o transporte de eleitores. Nossa campanha recebeu relatos de práticas semelhantes na periferia de Maceió e em outras cidades. Vamos pra cima desses canalhas! Se tiverem algum relato, informem aqui para tomarmos as medidas cabíveis!

Bolsonaro is rigging the election in Brazil. All right-wingers are exactly the same.

This is a coup attempt. They’re turning off traffic lights and canceling bus routes and flights and ferries on election day. The world needs to be paying attention

The worst part about a majority Conservative government with a progressive Mayor and council in Vancouver is that none of their major progressive policies will be able to move and everyone will blame Pete Fry
Toronto shares the same curse under Doug Ford. #bcpoli

Eby demonstrates the danger of not actually winning a real leadership election. When the NDP shivved Appadurai, they pulled a short cut that gave him quick victory but very shaky ground on which to plant his movement.

It’s time for PM Carney to put his Davos comments into action.
Canada standing against Trump’s illegal fuel blockade of Cuba and helping send energy to Cuba is a perfect opportunity to do so.

Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state

Why is this government allowing Israeli companies blacklisted for genocide to acquire Canadian companies - contrary to our own laws and policies?
The government's response is what exactly?
Crescent retweeted
So in a nutshell: The Bell Review DID NOT find Jewish schoolchildren in Britain face rampant antisemitism.
But because the news organisations were briefed with that as the top line, mainstream media ran with it.
They WON’T correct the story - because that would make them look stupid.
Journalism - dead.

You’d never know by this post that the five Israelis are armed IDF soldiers. But they made sure to tell you the Palestinians were definitely the bad guys. Tried, convicted, and sentenced in one headline.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying.
No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.
Palestinian farmers do not — and should not — need permits to harvest their own olive fields. But they fear doing so, because the IDF doesn’t protect them from settler violence.
We’re trying to model solidarity & co-existence between Jews and Palestinians, and to call attention to the horrors of the occupation. The Israeli government is trying to foment violence between Jews and Palestinians, and to make it impossible for Palestinians to harvest their olive groves, drive on their roads, or live in their homes.
This was not about harvesting olives.
It was about harvesting headlines.
Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation.
Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination.
What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required.
He chose to ignore those instructions.
At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order.
Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection.
Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.
