Bennett is saying this morning that Iran was days away from having 10 nuclear warheads. No idea if that is true

It is based on an algorithm that we know is purposefully manipulated by a foreign actor closely tied to a government that is objectively opposed to US interests. Compelling case to be made that Biden banning it pre-election would have helped politically

Not new! In The Political Beliefs of Americans (1967) Cantril & Free found that Americans were "ideological conservatives" opposed to abstract "big government", but "operational liberals" for lots of specific spending. It doesn't help that they have no clue re distribution of spending.

Should AfD be in government

Should AfD be in government

Back to the AfD: This is asking people if the AfD being in government would be in good thing.

Just 16% of the conservative CDU/CSU voters (marked as “Union”) say yes. Obviously a lot less for left voters.

The main arguments made against intervention in Syria to protect Syrians from Assad in 2013 were:

1 - Regime change will lead to a million dead and a 10 year civil war.
2 - It will lead to a wider global conflict between the west and Iran & Russia.
3 - Assad may be replaced by an Islamist.

With reports today that the Bibas family may be coming home in caskets on Thursday I would like to remind everyone that Hamas is directly responsible for every child who has died since the 7th. I will never forgive nor forget people like Mehdi and the other enablers.

People were talking about the threat to democracy from Trump and it turns out almost no one is prepared for it. And the attacks on democracy around the world are still treated as abnormal, but this is where we are

The reflexive "it's just anti-Zionism" retort to a poll explicitly asking whether people have "unfavorable views of Jews" gives away the game. For far too many people, "anti-Zionism" isn't a careful intellectual position, it's a get-out-of-prejudice-free card to derail discussion of antisemitism.

Meanwhile the BBC is worried about Israel "weaponizing" these images, which are war crimes by the way

Explicit antisemitic attitudes are now much more common among young voters - 18 year old registered voters are now ~5x more likely to say that they have an unfavorable view of the Jewish people than 65 year olds.

To be clear, he isn't a fringe conspiracy theorist. He is an outright neo-Nazi. A Klan member without a hood. And now a friend of the FBI Director. Should be terrifying.

And its getting a tiny fraction of the coverage that Musk's maybe Nazi salute got.

Incumbent parties globally are losing. The claim that if Biden hadn't run Dems would've won isn't well-founded. Harris was still the likely nominee, maybe after attacks. Also, parties with unpopular Presidents running a candidate not close to them (McCain, Stevenson, Bryan) still lost. 1)

Similar to the Womens March in 2017, which
A- Hasn't happened this time
B- Was unfortunately hijacked later

Every day there are some of the most horrific stories that come out as more people get the personal strength to share. Reposting from twitter because the video has good subtitles

Even if all atheists were Democrats (they aren't), an explicitly anti-religious candidate wouldn't even win the Democratic primary.

Well past time to stop giving air to people who seem determined to make the McGovern map an every election occurrence

Feeling a desire to repost this once a week.

Also - there is a great paper showing "experts" are pretty bad at picking which ad will move people

We know that Jeremy Corbyn loves talking about Cable Street, but does he actually know his history?

Speaking yesterday he stated that ‘all of them stood for the right to protest’. Excuse me?! No they didn’t - London’s East End communities tried to get the fascist march banned!

Mel Gibson is completely right here; Trump being back in power is exactly like the physically violent and emotionally crippled father, who you hate and grow up to hate and disrespect even more, showing back up, beating his family members because of his pathological insecurities.

No notes.

Striking stat from the British Election Study: Labour's vote share fell 18 percentage points among voters who said their sympathies were "much more" with Palestine than Israel, while rising 6 points with everyone else.
