Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says online Islamophobia seems to come mostly from paid campaigns on X, highlighting a company called β€˜Influensible,’ owned by Brad Parscaleβ€”former Trump campaign manager and registered foreign agent for Israelβ€”that she believes runs thousands of coordinated accounts spreading hate. 

Greene said she suspects these networks are also responsible for targeting her posts but admitted she can’t prove it since laws don’t require disclosure of who funds such Twitter/X accounts. She urged Elon Musk to label such accounts and said voters in her district care more about rent, healthcare, and familyβ€”not β€œSharia Law.”

FDR would've felt incredibly vindicated by all of this. A core proposition of the New Deal was that the country's ruling class was incapable β€” at best β€” of defending the Constitution, and that it was up to a dissident vanguard of intellectuals, in conjunction with workers and farmers, to do it.

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Between anti trans campaign ads failing last night spectacularly and rep Seth Moulton walking back his anti trans rhetoric, it seems like the slide on support for trans people has been stopped for now. It's still precarious but this was the best possible night we could have had.

Just to remind ppl that zohran campaigned as unapologetically pro-Palestine so stop saying it’s an untenable position

If yesterday taught us anything, it’s that you don’t know what’s viable or what’s possible til you at least try. We actually don’t have to take what we’re given. If enough of us get together and touch and agree we can do, create, and have better.

I wish I could show you all the joyous photos and videos being shared on Muslim and South Asian WhatsApp right now with people reacting to Mamdani's victory.

It's really beautiful and cathartic.

So many years of anti-Muslim bigotry, racism & hate.

And all those tears are now sugar for our chai.

There's an element of the smart set that doesn't give a crap about volunteering and ground game, thinks it's meaningless. Mamdani's campaign had 104,400 volunteers and knocked on 3 million doors and it sounds like they're just getting started.
"Engagement doesn't matter" is such a dumb opinion.

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

ppl like ezra klein are fucking idiots - people care about their pocketbook at the end of the day, dems need to stop letting repubs control the narrative. pushing policies that improve peoples lives instead of demonizing - see zohran mamdani

OK now we're going to need to have a talk with Gov-elect Spanberger about ending right to work in Virginia.

Pennsylvania voters retain three state Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats' 5-2 majority NBC News projects the incumbents survived an up-or-down vote to keep their seats on the battleground state’s high court.

Pennsylvania retains its 5-2 Dem majority on the Supreme Court.

Absolute bloodbath tonight for anti-trans Republicans.

β€œDick Cheney Has Died. The War Criminal in His Own Words”

10 quotes worth remembering, and that’ll be glossed over in MSM obits, from a former vice president who pushed for a murderous invasion of Iraq, lied about the WMD threat, and defended torture.

an initiating direction - if you go this over the top you defeat the anonymous factor, read up on other methods of β€œcv dazzle” - wear a mask if you can tho, for now that works, but especially if getting (unlawfully) stopped by ice or something the more subtle things could help

i don’t want this to exist… but… fuck… no i don’t - it’s one of those things that makes me think i need to see more of the insanity, but it always ends up being less demented after the first try - it makes something creative and hallucinates it’s easy to boring bullshit
