Here's a story my uncle Leo once told me, I imagine there are a great many permutations of it in the south: a 🧵
Muslim Protest Voters Are Furious About Trump’s Pro-Israel Cabinet Picks: ‘Trump Won Because of Us’ politicalflare.com/2024/11/m…

Jewish self-determination and a connection to Israel are central to Jewish identity.
When you demonize everyone who holds those beliefs as “genocidal,” you turn “Zionist” into a slur you can use to attack Jews while maintaining plausible deniability about your antisemitism.
Swapping “Jew” for “Zionist” doesn’t make the bigotry disappear. It gives you cover.

BREAKING: I just moved to subpoena the classified Volume II of Jack Smith’s report.
Republicans BLOCKED it. They won’t be able to, come January.
The truth will come out.

An important meeting with Speaker of the Danish Folketing Henrik Frandsen and the leaders of all 12 political parties. Yesterday, Denmark allocated its 32nd defense assistance package for Ukraine, worth €645 million. Parliament voted unanimously in favor of the decision – an example of just how strong the unity around Ukraine is within Denmark. I thanked them for all the support and every decision that makes us stronger and brings peace closer.
Today, I also addressed Danish parliamentarians and thanked each and every one of them personally. It is a great honor for me to be the first foreign leader to have this opportunity – to speak from the rostrum of the Folketing. This is recognition of the courage of the entire Ukrainian people and, above all, our warriors who defend their home and all of Europe. Thank you, Denmark!

Notice he leaves out that $5,000 is the legal limit. Chuck Schumer fundraised for Angie Nixon. She aligned herself with DSA & campaigned with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. DSA gave her $0 & didn't endorse her. Stop trying to blame others. Fix your Latino problem.
Chuck Schumer gave Angie Nixon ONLY $5000 from his Leadership PAC. Kirstin Gillibrand chairs the DSCC and only gave her campaign money the DAY before the election.
Angie lost by only 2.86%.😐
Black women are the core of the Democratic Party, and the Dem establishment is screaming that they love Black women’s votes but hate Black women in leadership.
This is indefensible, unsustainable, and racist. We need new leadership.

Fuck all you losers who are protesting Joe Biden. He's 83, out of power, and dealing with stage IV cancer. You're fucked in the head if you think throwing shit at him does anything but make you look like a giant asshole.

The only “new European security architecture” worth considering is a Europe armed to the teeth, with Ukraine as a NATO member. Strength is the only language the Kremlin understands.

To clarify
I'm not a bot
No one is paying me to post
I am in the UK
I post a lot about the US because almost all my followers are American, it's the most important and influential country in the world, and for the past 2 years has had a Health Secretary who is an anti vaccine lunatic.
That's why
Have a great day

What should Dems do next?
1. As always, whatever Black women want us to do.
2. Send Graham Platner's friend here to the ocean floor.
Strategist @katz_morris on what Democrats should learn from their midterm success — and what the party must do next.

I was told by leftists in 2020 that the CBC was “irrelevant” and filled with “sellouts” that were “slaves” to “the establishment” tho.
Now they’re begging to join.
New: As the Congressional Black Caucus prepares for its largest membership in history next Congress, the caucus’s political arm and two allied groups are detailing how they worked to bolster Black representation in the face of the Supreme Court’s Callais decision and GOP-led mid-decade redistricting.
The groups mounted a $20 million operation last January to mobilize Black voters in the midterms. The effort targeted 37 House districts and three Senate races, with investments in paid media, polling, organizing and a seven-figure creator program that enlisted more than 30 influencers, per a memo I obtained this evening.
The groups credit their early messaging against the Trump administration’s attacks on the federal workforce and DEI, their rapid response to Callais and an election-eve rally in Alabama with helping drive the caucus’s historic gains.

Here's a question for everyone who says Ukraine should just surrender.
Which part of your own country would you happily give away?

Another throwback video. As you can imagine, my two girls were REALLY excited to star in this one!
