My most recent article: I don’t know if we can have a heaven on earth, but I know we need not have hell on earth… Our foolish leaders spend their days telling us who to fear, blame, despise, & destroy. They’re promoting a fantasy that has never worked. patheos.com/blogs/paperbackt…

When I look at what's happening in politics this year, I think candidates with a little Leslie Knope in them seem to be doing well. People want to elect nerdy folks who really care, who work really hard, who aren't in love with holding office, but are in love with public service.

The GOP's Islamophobia is such a tired script. I think it's backfiring.

According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.
This book is really damning for Kushner. It claims the UAE paid Kushner $50 million to get Rex Tillerson fired as Secretary of State.

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example. He also said Arabs don't produce any literature. Last year's winner of the National Book Award was Lebanese writer and painter Rabih Alameddine. The winner in non-fiction? Egyptian-American journalist Omar El Akkad.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

This is the leading story on all the major US networks. @jaredkushner outed as a alleged Russian / Israeli spy.
Jared Krusher committed outrageous levels of treasonous corruption. Don’t let the story die.

Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news. motherjones.com/politics/202…

If you’re still on the Trump train, you’re on board with this:
Donald Trump praised rapper Nicki Minaj’s “beautiful ass” during a political rally on Sunday. The US president travelled with Minaj to Michigan on Air Force One, amid speculation that she could be named the new White House press secretary. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise. propublica.org/article/trump…

Jared Kushner received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia & the UAE to carry out political favors and was encouraged to keep the money in Israel’s central bank. This is the biggest corruption scandal in political history. Kushner has managed to outcrime Trump!

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Ukraine just repatriated 270 POWs from Russian captivity. He has “Jew” carved into his back. These are the people are president says are “fine“ on Ukraine. That Witkoff calls “humanitarian.”
