I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this cordinated campaign to delegimatize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans.
These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

Quite a TV ad from Government that Works PAC, the big Democratic super PAC, in #MSSEN:

The best way to build political power in this country is to kneecap the more progressive candidates right before the election. Genius move here.
The DSA National Political Committee has voted to unendorse and expel Nithya Raman
She has until October 31 to express clear direct support for BDS to retain endorsement, and until January 1 to condemn weapon shipments for Israel out of LAX to remain a member of DSA
Both resolutions are linked below

I've been in some group chats and meetings with DSA-LA folks this campaign. They have been busting their asses for months to help get Nithya elected because they know she's the best candidate for Mayor. This is an insult to them and a ridiculous move the week before an election.
NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions tonight regarding Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, setting up processes to potentially force DSA's Los Angeles chapter to rescind its endorsement of her campaign and/or expel her from DSA.
Here are copies of the 2 resolutions that passed:
Rescinding endorsement: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Expulsion: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Even on the day this was posted, tons of people warned Jennings that this was straight up defamation. That matters in this case, because as you can see it’s still up.

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy was warned by Republicans about the now-infamous Amy Acton mother ad. Asawin Suebsaeng and I dug into the back story of the ad for @zeteo_news and it's worse than you thought.
One Ohio Republican said Acton’s elderly mother was “far gone” and visibly unwell when Vivek's team, along with ad firm the Strategy Group, filmed with her.
Two people with knowledge of the matter say that even the Ohio GOP’s lieutenant governor candidate, Robert McColley, expressed reservations about the anti-Acton ad – though he is now forced to publicly defend it on the campaign trail.
Republicans Warned Vivek Ramaswamy His ‘Rapist Protector’ Ad Was a Terrible Idea
The Ohio gubernatorial candidate was told using Amy Acton’s estranged mother in an ad would backfire. The story of how it came together is even worse than you think.

Malcolm Gladwell is a fucking fraud and has made a career and millions just spewing bullshit that falls apart if you have a working brain or decide to lightly fact-check him. A phenomenally stupid man and grifter.
I have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead. equalityalec.substack.com/p/…

I, a natural born citizen, can’t make a 45 minute trip to Montreal and back without having my phone confiscated and scanned by Border Patrol while this asshole gets to make a birthright trip to an Orlando Publix without a passport.

every piece of media coverage on the abdul race that cast doubt on his performance in the party or w black voters has been a manufactured narrative led by consultants and party bosses who hate his popular position on israel, anti militarism and medicare for all. they wanted to wishcast, and also set up a narrative that progressives can’t win swing states regardless of his poll performance.
this is the dumbest of all the arguments and is being pushed by people who resisted the least restraint on their own out-of-pocket behavior when advised of those restraints by their actual lawyers

the lawyers Hasan retained for this are the same lawyers (who've left and started their own firm) that represented Dominion in their lawsuit against Fox News, which Dominion won via settlement for $780 million

This critically misses part where Janones asked every1 in chat to convince at least 1 voter in their lives who abstained, nulled or bolsonaro in 1st round to switch to Lula. Im famously not against social media/rallies but u folks need to quit being in denial about voter contact

🚨 The NYPD has backed away from a $750,000 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced backlash over the deal, the New York Daily News reported.
The department confirmed it is restarting the procurement process and will accept competing bids for the technology, a cell-site simulator that mimics a cell tower to locate and track phones.
The three-year deal was for Cognyte's FalcoNet, an AI-driven tracker that can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack. Mamdani's office had said it was "reviewing the proposed contract."
The move reopens the contract to other bidders but doesn't drop the technology itself. Full story linked in reply.
⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported.
Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia.
The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
