@uhshanti What are they even trying to achieve here, beyond pretending that Bibi has no agency, or influence? Deeply weird people.

@Komrad_Iron Yah I don’t think it’s working to be clear, but it sucks to see people who don’t actually care about antisemitism weaponizing the word for internecine reasons when like… the entire MAGA movement is chock full of fascist antisemites with *actual access to state violence*

Komrad: ICE out! (Nobel Peace Prize Nominee)
@tharoldschaefer And in my area it reinforces the idea in the minds of dem voters that centrists are out of touch with the world they live in. They can win if they pull enough conservative votes in welter status-quo areas, but even those wins are becoming slimmer.

Ok THIS explains Third Way's weird hate boner for Hasan Piker and El-Sayed lol These people aren't very smart, or good at their jobs, but they *are* clearly scared they're losing the PR battle over Israel. Good.
Henry Burke@burkehenryt

As Third Way's Executive VP calls Abdul El-Sayed a "disgrace to the Democratic Party" it might be helpful to know Third Way hired Caitlin Legacki as a Senior Fellow in Sept., she also happens to be working as a strategist for Rep. Haley Stevens who is running against El-Sayed

socialism with midwestern characteristics
I think we will begin to see other candidates drop out following @FrancescaHongWI's dominance in early polling. However, I am cautiously optimistic thay her team can navigate the ratfucking (à la Warren) that will undoubtedly follow.
MULawPoll@MULawPoll

In the Republican primary for governor, 40% say they support Rep. Tom Tiffany and 6% chose Andy Manske. On the Democratic side, Francesca Hong is the choice of 14% and Barnes is supported by 11%, with all others are below 5%. #mulawpoll

If you’re a wonk denying the Gaza genocide, I expect a full paper articulating what you think the International Association of Genocide Scholars got wrong and why we should trust you over the most prestigious expert group on earth.
Lindsay Ballant@lindsayballant

Will Stancil—fresh off a week calling anyone publicizing Israeli lobby superpac donations antisemitic—says that your (and the international community’s) use of the word Genocide is a little *too* harsh, needs to see way more dead Palestinians before he’ll revisit this matter

1) Our mass transit has been great within recent memory. It's very fixable. 2) Our revenue is gobbled up by Republican districts -- that changes, and a lot of things improve quickly. 3) There's a will to try things here that I don't see in a lot of US cities. People are hungry.

I've moved back to Milwaukee three times now (born here, grew up in Glendale.) This city is great *despite* being absolutely fucked by the state legislature, multiple neoliberal county executives, and multiple recessions. We could be a municipal socialist model again, tho.
Grillmaster Nehmdawghausen 🍉@nehmdoge

This city is so beautiful when you don’t have a loser from Waukesha in your ear saying “Milwaukee sucks because there’s a larger minority population than I’m used to”
