@persianjewess Inshallah = If Allah wills it
Wow, the level of stupidity is breathtaking. Under any regime that follows Islam, she would be beaten, raped, imprisoned, and probably hung for how she is dressed and comports herself.

Anne Hathaway talking to People Magazine: “I want to live a long, healthy life… Inshallah.”
Inshallah? 🧐🤔
Anne is an American who was raised Roman Catholic.

I still think it's funny that no one calls Northern Virginia "Virginia."

@cole_groth @FreeWayCS @libra989 @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener Cole Groth you’re a complete fucking moron and your bitch ass blocked me because I dunked on you 20 times for being illiterate.
English
@cole_groth @FreeWayCS @libra989 @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener They’re not called “TrackZionists” they’re called “TrackAIPAC”. They don’t put big letters saying “ZIONIST” on red posts, they put dollar amounts. When people see a red graphic with “$86,000” they assume that person took $86k in pro-Israel PAC money. Plus they do double standards
English
My opponent has made his ties to AOC one of the pillars of his campaign. Meanwhile, she hasn't endorsed him and refuses to comment on their relationship.
English
@cole_groth @FreeWayCS @libra989 @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener They’re called “TrackAIPAC” and they claim to be tracking members based on campaign finance from the Israel lobby. But then they hold candidates to different standards based on who they like, use disingenuous metrics like counting individual donations, etc. Dishonest, misleading.
English
@FreeWayCS @libra989 @RepDickSwett @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener “People they want to vote for” and they’re just tracking pro-Israel members of Congress. Dummy!
English
@cole_groth @JustParody703 @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener 1) Counting $ given to “pro-Israel PACs” by INDIVIDUALS who donate to a candidate is crazy, no one would ever have $0. 2) They don’t do that for all candidates. Saikat gets a 0 bc he took no PAC $, but they do this to Scott who also took no PAC $. It’s a dishonest double standard
English
@JustParody703 @RepDickSwett @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener I'm just struggling to see what you find to be dishonest here. Track AIPAC is their name. Do you think they should only be allowed to track money from one specific PAC? What about when they hide their money when they don’t want to be called out? What's wrong with this graphic?
English
@cole_groth @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener Bro come on you are defending a blatant double standard that’s clearly misleading.
English
@RepDickSwett @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener You do understand that Weiner is an open Zionist and Chakrabarti is anti-Zionist, right? Tracking Israeli money is impossible because of the games they play; it's very fair to simply label Zionists with the red label instead of giving a Zionist a green label for a technicality.
English
@cole_groth @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener THERE IS NO LOBBY INVOLVED HERE. They are counting INDIVIDUALS making their own donations who have also previously donated to some PAC they deem “pro-Israel.” Worse yet, THEY DON’T COUNT THAT FOR EVERYONE, only candidates they don’t like! They’re lying, they’re being misleading.
English
@RepDickSwett @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener It’s not "misleading" to adapt to a lobby that intentionally hides its influence through bundling and shell orgs. If the red label matches the candidate’s actual platform, the transparency is working. You're just arguing for the loopholes.
English
@cole_groth @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener An account claiming to bring transparency to dark money organizations should be transparent and not intentionally misleading. The fact that AIPAC does awful things doesn’t mean those opposing AIPAC should do the same.
English
@RepDickSwett @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener AIPAC purposely obfuscates its donations, especially now as they're BEING tracked. Why should AIPAC Tracker have to follow the rules if AIPAC doesn't?
English
@cole_groth @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener No, I’m not. They are called track aipac. They put dollar amounts in big bold letters. Any policy notes are in tiny small print. They know and you know that most people just see “red bad green good” and don’t read it. It is a blatant double standard they use to mislead.
English
@RepDickSwett @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener You're missing the forest for the trees. The goal of tracking is to identify a candidate’s political alignment. Whether it’s direct PAC money or a concentrated donor base with specific interests, the signal is the same. People use these metrics to identify Zionists in office.
English
@cole_groth @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener Okay, that doesn’t require the deceptive graphics and double standards around donations? If they wanna be “track Zionism” and give out red graphics for political positions go right ahead, but right now they’re pretending to be about money and other objective metrics.
English
@RepDickSwett @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener Weiner is a Zionist and Chakrabarti is not. It’s a simple enough classification.
English
@BoreJoka @airoderinde @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener They’re called “track AIPAC” and they’re putting up a big red graphic with a dollar amount. They’re trying to make people think he took aipac money, when he never took any pac money. It’s blatant dishonesty.
English
@airoderinde @TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener do you think candidates who are pro-israel without taking AIPAC shouldn’t get the red graphic? im confused the whole point is the funding affects the policy if there Zoinist from the jump without funding thats still bad
English
@TrackAIPAC @Scott_Wiener You people are complete liars. Scott took no money from PACs, but you’re counting money from individuals who gave to PACs for him. You’re not holding Saikat to the same standard. This kind of shit is disqualifying.
English
@slope_s_ @maxdubler This started with Saikat explaining his tangential relationship to SF and Scott making a one off “my relationship is that I’ve lived here for 29 years” joke. That’s not exactly a central part of the campaign.
English
@RepDickSwett @maxdubler Sure I can see that. But that’s orthogonal to the validity of the vector of attack that you must prove your nativity to run for office here in SF
English
Harvey Milk is from New York. He moved to San Francisco at 40 and ran for office a few years later. Was he a “San Francisco political carpetbagger?”
Y Disassembler@loomdoop
This is funny, because Scott Wiener is the quintessential San Francisco political carpetbagger. He’s from New Jersey, and moved here after Harvard at around age 30, because SF city elections are an easy entry point for careerism leading to national office.
English
@mehdirhasan You don’t get why one of the largest terror attacks against Jews in modern history would prompt a Jewish person to embrace their faith more personally? Seriously?
English
I think we should have more Jewish actors on TV playing Jewish characters open about their awesome Jewish faith. I love the Shema and have had it memorized since I was a child.
Not sure why Israel has to play a role in any of this. Let’s not conflate Israel with Judaism please.
StandWithUs@StandWithUs
As HBO's acclaimed medical drama "The Pitt" concludes its second season, star and creator Noah Wyle is opening up about portraying his first Jewish character - and how the October 7th, 2023 Hamas massacre transformed what the role means to him. Wyle, 54, plays Dr. Michael "Robby” Robinavitch in the series, a character whose Jewish background became "something significant" after the pogrom, he told Jewish Chronicle. "All of this was before October 7th. After the pogrom, it became something significant in the character," Wyle explained. "We wanted Robby to be distant from his faith and in need of connection to it." The character's name honors Wyle's own family - his great-grandmother's father was named Robinavitch, and the other side of the family was Rabinsky. Dr. Robinavitch wears a Star of David around his neck and, in a pivotal scene, clutches it while reciting the Shema Israel for comfort.
English
@slope_s_ @maxdubler I think there’s a meaningful difference between living somewhere for 30 continuous years and only running for office after a decade+ in that city vs Saikat’s resume.
English
@maxdubler I think you're missing the context. That tweet's in response to Scott Wiener accusing Saikat Chakrabarti of being a non-local, when they both really are
English
@loomdoop @Claudia_SF He lived in San Francisco for over a decade before running for anything. The fuck are you talking about?
English
This is funny, because Scott Wiener is the quintessential San Francisco political carpetbagger.

@blahEhhGee @mattyglesias This is all purely a reaction to Republicans gerrymandering. Democrats have consistently tried to pass bills banning gerrymandering at the federal level and Republicans oppose it. We can end this once and for all if Republicans just vote to do non-partisan redistricting.
English
@mattyglesias Texas redraw potentially moves Dems from 34% of seats to 21%, a 13 pt mover
VA redraws moves Reps from 45% to 9%, a 36 pt move
English
@ChristineX2024 @JakeSherman You started a gerrymandering fight and are mad we’re doing it better. Get fucked bozo.
English
@JakeSherman Illegal gerrymandering?
Virginia now has ONE Republican and TEN Democrats.
When the left does it, it’s legal?But if Republicans do the same thing it’s illegal?
Sums up your party.
English
JEFFRIES STATEMENT, with a warning for Florida.
“If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump’s dummymander in Texas. We will aggressively target for defeat Mario Díaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez, Kat Cammack, Anna Paulina Luna, Laurel Lee, Cory Mills and Brian Mast. We are prepared to take them all on, and we are prepared to win.

@pwhlharkness @loserhollanov But it’s not misleading. The fact that some people incorrectly assumed what they meant doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate. When multiple other women’s hockey leagues have failed, it’s perfectly reasonable to characterize the success of another women’s hockey league as unlikely.
English
@RepDickSwett @loserhollanov the video itself has a more detailed and accurate description of the league and its success but i’m just saying that the title is misleading and poorly phrased. this specific league was not unlikely due to the different management strategies
English
i mean correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t it just referencing the many previous attempts at establishing a professional women’s hockey league that did not work out or know the same success?
