Texas Democrats! If you live in the 2nd District, vote in November for Shaun Finnie! He will stand for working families, protect Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security, reproductive rights, and revive public education! You cannot replace a MAGA extremist like Dan Crenshaw with another MAGA extremist!
It IS antisemitic to say the Jews of Germany were murdered because they were wealthy, because A) most Jews who were murdered were not wealthy B) Wealthy non-Jews in Germany kept their wealth by happily collaborating with Nazis. Whether it is 'subconscious' antisemitism or not is besides the point.
So it's the "No True Scotsman" argument for Neera Tanden?
These kinds of stories don’t get out unless Hegseth has pissed off the brass

She does conflate the two in another post:
Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.
@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb
“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”
1. Let me see if I have this right. The Russians are now helping the Iranians kill Americans, first by providing “targeting information,” according to the Post.

Spencer caught ICE trying to turn an American detainee into an immigration snitch (?) in Minneapolis. Details of his interrogation in this amazing Q&A: @attackerman.bsky.social
My cat sleeps all day and then keeps me awake all night so this gave me a good laugh.

fun fact: the department of homeland security added restrictions last year to its nonprofit security grants program that help synagogues and other jewish institutions hire security that effectively makes it so that liberal jewish organizations can't qualify

Sort of incredible to think that after fighting for years just to win a narrow edge on the WI Supreme Court, liberals could go up 5-2 next month or even 6-1 by next year.
I wrote about the current race and what it means for democracy and voting rights in particular:
Get in losers we're dying of dysentery
The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.
Surely the President’s task force on antisemitism will be looking into this pronto to figure out how this could have happened.
This is so heartbreaking, and also I am going to make my PSA again.
Babies can be vaccinated against measles as young as six months, it’s just not standard. It’s usually only recommended for international travel in the US. But guess what? We’re the plague pit now.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
Platner as the nominee in Maine would make it harder for national Democrats to tear into this fucking guy.
No Nazi shit.
Stop fucking around.
The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."
Here's a Miami Herald gift link.
INBOX: @couriernewsroom.bsky.social is circulating a video of #TX23 Republican nominee Brandon Herrera showing off his "1939 edition" copy of Mein Kampf.
Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Just for some reason reading about Katy Padilla Stout, the lawyer, teacher, and mom of four who just won the Democratic primary for TX district 23 and will go up against either this guy or his 30yo far-right gun-influencer rival www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/rep...
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump gets life sentence for molesting 2 children
An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports.
