Radical Dude (against the next war)

#MichiganSenate NYT: An adviser to Jim Clyburn says Haley Stevens was still invited at Democratic unity event and rejected any notion that Abdul El-Sayed could pull her invitation. “This is not Abdul’s event,” Mr. Seawright said Saturday afternoon, adding, “The invitation still stands.” nytimes.com/2026/10/31/us/el…

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you call yourself a Democrat, and you're stabbing Abdul El-Sayed in the back while he's being attacked by shitty, bigoted Republicans during the 11th Hour of a winnable election, FUCK YOU for choosing that. We will NOT forget this.

Hasan Piker outrageously compared Detroit's Jews to the KKK in his livestream last night, saying their "supremacist attitude" is "identical." It's disgusting to compare American Jews to a white supremacist extremist movement that terrorizes Black and Jewish Americans — and that @ADL has spent over a century fighting. The irony of comparing Jews to a movement whose very ideology is steeped in Jew hatred is apparently lost on him.

The Nakba, as it has come to be known, never happened. There were Palestinians who were indeed driven out of their homes — not unlike Indians, Koreans, Germans, French, Jews across the Arab world, and others who were driven out of their homes but in much larger numbers. But the Holocaust-ization of the Israeli war of independence (which left about 13,000 dead out of a population of roughly 1.4 million Palestinian Arabs) is a historical fever dream mostly concocted by the KGB in the service of the Soviet Union’s war against the “Zionist entity.”

No @mehdirhasan, Israel is not in the grip of “genocidal mania.” And that’s an ugly accusation to make. Here’s the deal: Israel ain’t going back to Oct 6th. And you got Hamas to blame for that. But you are correct, that since Oct 7th, it’s not “only Netanyahu.” It’s ALL of Israel. Again, Israel ain’t going back to Oct 6th. No matter who the prime minister is. Israel will no longer live next door to people who want to exterminate them. Those days are done. And that’s a good thing. And, again, who’s to blame for this? Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and all the other Islamist orgs & states in the region who want to exterminate Israel. Thanks Mehdi.

Senator @ChrisMurphyCT reveals that war plan briefings by the administration show that Trump and Israel are planning an extreme escalation to win the war of choice wth Iran. Murphy calls the plan "insane." Not only will it fail, but it will also lead to "the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law." What Sen. Murphy says here is that Trump and Israel are planning a military campaign that violates every rule of war, including every American law regarding the conduct of war. It is not a war plan; it's a war crimes plan.

Zionist Dems like Pelosi, Schumer, Gottheimer, and Tanden are the modern equivalent of the Dixiecrats. They will hold no power in this party in ten years and we will have to apologize for ever associating ourselves with them.

MICHIGAN POLL — U.S. Senate 🟦 Abdul El-Sayed: 50.5% (+7.4) 🟥 Mike Rogers: 43.1% Verasight | 10/23

One of the worst impacts Bernie Sanders has had on the Democratic Party is his constant, self-indulgent tirades about PACs and big donors, thus ensuring that we enter elections with massive cash disadvantages

Yes, I am saying the Nakba never happened. Palestinians tried to kill their Jewish neighbors. They lost. They were not invited back. That’s not a tragedy. It’s the consequences of Jew hate.

I'm a lifelong registered Democrat. AND for the past several years, I've been following and supporting the work of @SarahLongwell25 & team at @BulwarkOnline. AND Tim's comment trajectory these past several months has been making me feel even *more* politically "homeless"....
