“I’m evaluating. I’m open to discussion,” brand-new Rep. Analilia Mejia (D-Glen Ridge) said. “What I’m not open to is rigging any system for unfair advantage. I think voters having a full voice should take primacy, and that we should win on arguments.”
What does this mean?!?!

If N.J. Democrats are really serious about mid-decade redistricting, they’ll need buy-in from the party’s House incumbents, whose own districts may need to be substantially reshaped. Still early, but most N.J. House Dems I talked to are open to it. newjerseyglobe.com/redistricing/a…

@souljagoyteller No they aren’t, no one in America is advocating for Iran as a nation to be wiped out.
English
America right now is at war against Iran’s right to exist
Leo Terrell@LeoTerrellDOJ
I find it insane that people proudly declare, "I support Israel's right to exist," as though existence itself is a privilege that must be debated or granted. Do you ever hear anyone say they support France's right to exist? Japan's? America's? Any other nation on Earth? No. Because no country besides @Israel is forced to justify its existence to the world. When politicians make this statement, people applaud them like they just made some brave moral statement. They didn't. They stated something so basic it should never have to be said in the first place. @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @DAGToddBlanche @ASGWoodward @TheJusticeDept @marcorubio @SecRubio @StateDept @yechielleiter @IsraelinUSA @Israel @netanyahu

@souljagoyteller You don't think that the fact it was published in opinion means something

They’re actually going to treat Nicholas Kristof like Greta Thunberg. Incredible. They have no shame and no intelligence
Jon Levine@LevineJonathan
NEW from @IraStoll @NickKristof father fought for the Nazis during WWII — something he admitted in his 2024 memoir, Chasing Hope "When I was growing up and other kids talked about their dads heroically battling the Nazis, I kept quiet. I didn't want to admit that my father had actually fought for a year on the same side of the Nazis." freebeacon.com/media/times-co…

@mehdirhasan Maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions based on singular polls
English
Everyone made a big song and dance about a poll 48 hours ago showing El-Sayed was weakest of the 3 Dems against Republican Rogers in the general and yet here’s a new poll showing he’s the strongest of the 3. Stevens is the weakest. (It’s basically a dead heat!)

@cherubfemme @EmmaVigeland Obviously, but Hitler admired the british empire partly because it matched his own racial hierarchy views. He was shocked when he saw that the UK was willing to wreck it's own empire (and ultimately give up the empire) in order to oppose him.
English
@GorlaNiketh @EmmaVigeland He only wanted to do that because they were both ideologically opposed to the USSR. It wouldn’t have been allyship borne out of warm feelings and butterflies.
English
The one million bombs Hitler dropped on London might have indicated something, though.
Clash Report@clashreport
Netanyahu: Hitler didn’t even say “Death to America, death to Britain.” I think he might have planned it, but he didn’t say it.
English
@nixus237 @EmmaVigeland Hitler's main enemy was literally Russia. He was willing to let Britain go with relatively good terms, and even let them keep their empire. He was shocked when the British continued to defy him
English
@cherubfemme @EmmaVigeland the point is that Hitler did not want to destroy the UK, he wanted to ally with them
English
@GorlaNiketh @EmmaVigeland So “peace” = bombing the shit out of the UK and potentially making them murder their Jewish population? Yeah bro that certainly makes sense

@hutchinson Honestly I don’t care. Every single establishment dem needs to loose going forward until they realize that things arent business as usual. The Virginia dems are refusing to pack the courts.

In what universe is this not deceptive lol? He does not have patients. He does not treat patients. He is not licensed to treat patients and never has been.
Sohrab Ahmari@SohrabAhmari
Sorry, but this is BS. I interviewed @AbdulElSayed months ago, and when going over his background with me, he immediately made it clear that he received an MD but declined to practice, instead pursuing a career in public health. There was no hiding / obfuscating on his part.
English
@KShpatz @souljagoyteller What concessions would Ra'am demand from the opposition, and would the opposition be willing to do them?
English
@GorlaNiketh @souljagoyteller Yes. If they don't vote *against* the formation of the government, they can allow it to form. But Hadash, Ta'al and Balad wouldn't do it w/o major concessions that I can't see happening. That leaves Ra'am who'd be willing to fully join the government with way fewer concessions.
English
Time for the anti-Netanyahu opposition to choose: Netanyahu or democracy
Ihab Hassan@IhabHassane
According to the latest Kantar/Kan poll, Netanyahu's bloc sits at 51 seats, the opposition at 59. The Arab parties hold 10 seats. Without Arab parties, no side can form a government.

@Timodc The conflict is literally 100 years old, and they are not authoritarian regime.
English
I have a bold idea. Rather than litigate the veracity of mutual mass rape claims in a 2000 year old religious war btwn authoritarian regimes maybe we should offer humanitarian aid where needed & focus on our own interests. You might call it a pivot to Asia or even “americans 1st”
English
What if Israel had become not a Western ally but a communist country allied with the Soviet Union in 1948?
There is a new alternative history novel on that basis. Just published!

@K3nB3n They definitely talked about the embargo. It's just that most people don't pay attention in high school history and later claim they never learned this in history.

@arash_tehran If this happens, it’s the 4th time she will have lost the runoff by less than a percentage point.

@arash_tehran Also Zizek wasn't a close associate of epstein.
English
It’s really cute that people believe this. Because it really is kinda the other way around.
The PrettyMuchCompleterian@TLiterarian
Zizek is a mere entertainer, as an intellectual unfit to polish Chomsky’s shoes
English
@CogitoEdu @KarolusWangus So you really think that you need to have like 5 generations living in a place before you can say you are from there. Isn’t it the left that claims that nationalism is fake anyway?

I was told Israel is only in Lebanon because of Hezbollah but here is a Ukrainian man pretending to be Middle-Eastern talking about ethnically cleansing Lebanon a decade before Hezbollah existed.

@gscott1233 @infinite_jaz ok but the Israelis clearly have been willing to accept a 2 state solution multiple times in the past? Olmert, Barak, and even Rabin all said this. The Palestinians don't want it though
English
@GorlaNiketh @infinite_jaz That phrase is in the founding charter of the government that did this. But please, tell me more about the desire of one people to annihilate the other through word and deed
English
This piece says that “in poll after poll, a majority of Israelis see permanent occupation as the only way to security” while wholly rejecting BDS and other tactics that would force society-wide change, opting instead for narrow interventions that might, at best, marginally rein in the IDF and the most violent settlers. Complete failure to acknowledge the reality of the situation by @ilangoldenberg and @jstreetdotorg.
Ilan Goldenberg@ilangoldenberg
J Street’s approach isn’t the “same old peace process.” It’s using real leverage, conditioning aid to Israel, sanctioning violent extremist settlers, and regional diplomacy to push change. The path forward isn’t about exclusively punishing Israel, but empowering Israeli and Palestinian peacemakers and improving Palestinian lives. My latest on how to engage in these hard conversations inside the Democratic Party. @TVietor08 open.substack.com/pub/jstreetdot…
