Zuckerberg already admitted it wrongly suspended the No Kings Instagram account during the peak of a massive voter-mobilization effort. Now, seven days before the midterms, Zuckerberg has suspended the account Angie Nixon’s Senate campaign uses to organize Latino voters. At what point do repeated “mistakes” that suppress organizing by Democrats become an election-integrity crisis?
🚨 BREAKING: Meta has suspended Angie Nixon's organizing account ahead of the midterms. Nixon is the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Florida.

To those who defend the occupation and blame the victims, it's over.
They’ll tell you it’s not apartheid because Arab Israelis can vote, while 5+ million Palestinians under Israeli occupation are denied equal rights. They’ll tell you it’s a democracy because Jews from around the world can go to Israel and vote, while millions of Palestinians are denied the right to return to their homes. They’ll tell you the future of Israel is at stake, while they deny a future for Palestine. They’ll tell you the problem is Netanyahu, while the majority of Israelis support genocide, apartheid, and land theft. They’ll tell you the problem is Palestinians, while ignoring the decades-long occupation that brutalizes them. They tell you lies.

Oh you don't think another country should influence your votes?
If you are not Israeli, do not tell Israelis how to vote.

Treating Abdul like He Who Must Not Be Named.. It's not Voldemort's team!
BASH: “You're still fully behind Abdul El-Sayed?” STEVENS: “Look, I'm on the Democratic ticket. I can't say that I agree with everything that's gone on… I'm looking to be on the team to support my next governor Jocelyn Benson, and frankly these great Democrats who are working their tails off, who are going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first black Speaker of the House.” BASH: “You didn't mention Abdul El-Sayed in that last answer.” STEVENS: “Well, look, I would just say, you had asked me if I'm still on the team, I'm on the team.”

Trump sounds exactly like a "centrist" Democrat in this clip. 😬
Trump: El-Sayed campaigns with communist agitator Hasan Piker. He won’t disavow him. *plays Hasan Piker montage*

If these were 400 Jewish families ordered by ANYONE to leave their homes, it would be THE BIGGEST HEADLINE IN THE WORLD.
The Israeli army has ordered more than 400 Palestinian families to evacuate their homes in Hebron, leaving thousands of people stranded in the streets with nowhere to go.

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it. Get involved and help at abdulforsenate.com/vote go.abdulforsenate.com We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too. We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries. That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next. Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells. Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it. #abdulelsayed #democracy #jewish #midterms

MAGA says Ilhan Omar isn't using her real name. Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs. Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz. JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman. Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Mike Johnson's real first name is James. Rand Paul is Randal Paul. Newt Gingrich was born Newton Leroy McPherson. But suddenly MAGA wants a congressional investigation into names?

As long as we use FPTP, this just comes off as spoiler effect, trying to split the vote. Bush doesn't beat Gore without Nader. I would love love love to switch to Approval voting or some other system. But until we do, let's not pretend we don't recognize this for what it is.
JUST IN: Matthew McConaughey sparks speculation he could run for president as an independent in 2028, declaring “Independents belong in the fight.”

🚨NEW: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed on Trump mocking his middle name Mohamed and calling him a jihadist: “He says it just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a private jet or the Saudis for money for his son-in-law’s firm.”

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm. Wonder what’s changed?
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Remember when that girl on tiktok called 26 christian churches,to see who would really help her if she was hungry and needed baby formula, and all of them said no. Then she started calling mosques and they said yes and even offered to help her with more. I think about that a lot.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Nikalie Monroe called ~40 places of worship mostly Christian churches in her TikTok series; ~9-10 offered help including several churches (Catholic Black small Appalachian etc.) and a mosque not 26 Christian churches that all refused then mosques. buzzfeed.com/morgansloss1/t… religionunplugged.com/news/kentucky-… thetab.com/2025/11/10/chu… knowyourmeme.com/memes/woman-ca…

Netanyahu called me a liar when settlers detained me, along with a NYT photographer, in Zanuta this past July. Now, he is calling a Washington Post photographer a liar. Netanyahu, you are the liar with the blood of Palestinian children on your hands.
The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

Did you know Albert Einstein was deeply opposed to the formation of Israel? He said it would create needless conflict with Arab neighbors and would lead to a permanent state of war. The Zionists thought, "What would Einstein know?!" Yeah, he only got it 100% right.
