Very alarmed to learn that 80% of American Jews are antisemitic
NEW poll: A supermajority of Jewish Americans believe Israeli & AIPAC actions increase antisemitism. 80% say Israelโ€™s actions in Gaza & the West Bank increase antisemitism in the US. 66% say AIPACโ€™s campaign spending against candidates critical of Israel increases antisemitism.

Bernie Sanders lost the fight in 2016. A decade later, he won the war. Sandersโ€™ brand of laser-focused economic populism trounced MAGA this week โ€” winning not just with El-Sayed in Michigan, but Talaricoโ€™s in Texas and other red states. Bernie isnโ€™t surprised. โ€œNo, I am not shocked,โ€ he told me. โ€œItโ€™s what Iโ€™ve always believed.โ€ My interview with Sanders on the midterms, his movement and 2028: politico.com/news/2026/11/05โ€ฆ

If anything part of what also has happened last night was showing that the line politics caucuses of DSA especially in the NPC are deeply out of touch with the political moment and conjuncture. It reminded me of Marx's famous 1868 letter.

ICE HSI agent Kent Blacklidge who racially profiled and tackled US citizen Leo Venegas while trespassing at his worksite (the first of Leo's three illegal detainments) was just arrested for rape and child sex crimes. The agent's duties had included child sex investigations.
ICE wrestled Alabama worker to the ground & detain him for hoursโ€”he is a U.S. citizen. Young man was begging & shouting, "I am a U.S. citizen"โ€”but that didn't stop ICE agents from dragging him off to a detention center. Not following due process hurts us allโ€”and our economy. His family said that ICE agents did release him after he was finally given the opportunity to prove he was a U.S. citizenโ€”but only after many hours. This construction site in Foley, Alabama was forced to shut down for at least the day. How many other businesses were affected? #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

Theyโ€™re calling it โ€œloser Leninism.โ€ A self appointed vanguard whose aim is to convince working people good things arenโ€™t possible, and workers are incapable of wielding power to force their representatives to serve their interests.
Our work as DSAโ€™s National Political Committee has just become harder in some tangible ways: we now have to convince the working people of the United States that a Democratic majority will not do the things it they hope it will, and that only WE can save ourselves.

I am so happy that Bernie Sanders is with us today to be able to see the fruits of his labor. He cultivated a whole generation of young leaders through the movement he spawned who are now winning seats everywhere. And he gets to live to witness it. Thank you, Bernie.

Thank you @claireforny for unequivocally condemning the antisemitic defacement of the school buses of our Satmar Hasidic neighbors. Blaming all Jews for the actions of Israel is antisemitism (and you really expose your blind hatred of Jews when you target those who are explicitly not Zionists). It doesnโ€™t matter whether this hatemonger is right-wing or left-wing. Letโ€™s make sure that hate has no home here.
I am appalled by this blatant act of antisemitism, and I stand by my neighbors in the Satmar community in speaking out against it. Hatred like this has no home in our community.

Several figures here arenโ€™t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan โ€“ May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micrโ€ฆ therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-strโ€ฆ

The Post is right. I'm sporting a mustache this "Movember" to raise awareness of menโ€™s health issues, including prostate cancer. But this isnโ€™t just ย (upper) lip service. This year, our administration is investing $4M toward a brand-new prostate cancer center at Kings County hospital in Brooklyn.

We were nearly killed two days ago. Settler-terrorist Tomer Liani bashed my head against the ground repeatedly, then the IDF and police blocked the ambulances and prevented hospitalisation. All because we caught the settlers locking locking a gate to more than 20 Palestinian communities, trapping entire families. We exposed Tomer Liani, Shimon Atia and Nevo Nadalski directly committing crimes against humanity in Masafer Yatta, and we were punished by the Israeli police and court for this. Israeli state terrorism in the West Bank is at its peak, and the authorities are doing everything to keep Palestinian voices silent.
