While it is 9/11, please absolutely do not forget the trauma that horrific event has had on Muslims at least in the United States. Islamophobia is very much alive and for many US Muslims, today is a day of pain. The abuse they have experienced because of 9/11 is grotesque.
The online pearl clutching about this is worse than the actual extinguishing. The core Jewish population of Poland is 0.0001% of the general population. It's extremely weird to be putting up menorahs in the parliament of a country like that. Not everything is a Chabad House.
(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden registered his best showing yet in a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult tracking poll of battleground states, even as voters offered withering appraisals of his debate performance amid panic within his party.
If you see someone ask a Muslim whether they supported Bin Laden or whether they had no issue with 9/11, call that person out, it’s not nor should it ever be ok to treat someone like that.
holy moly, child poverty rate rose from all-time low of 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% (!!!) in 2022, reflecting end of temporary child allowance and other programs.
this is not the fate of our people. we did not die at the hands of so many oppressors. in camps. in shtetls. in ghettos. in our own lands. simply to become the enforcers of genocide. shame on my peers. my community. i may never look at judaism the same way again.
DEMS FEELING RIGHT NOW. in case you aren’t clear on sentiments re: McCarthy, Rep. Spanberger just called him, “Likely the most unprincipled person who has ever been Speaker of the House”.
if Lee pulls this out the thing I really hope folks focus on isn’t that “DMFI and AIPAC failed” but that they were able to make a non-viable candidate down 35 be within 100 votes because they spent their money on ads.

@Acosta
the $3.5 T figure for budget reconciliation is just a "celling" and not a "floor". Clyburn says there is $2T worth of negotiating room. Worth noting that progressives like
@BernieSanders
&
@AOC
have said $3.5 T is already a compromise.
BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court blocks Louisiana's congressional map. Lower courts found that the map dilutes the voting power of Black voters. Louisiana will have to redraw its congressional map to add a second majority-Black district.
my rabbi held a antisemitism on campuses call, said a bunch of wrong shit, and when I spoke challenging that, I kept getting interrupted and when I said “we have to be real, 4K kids are dead, 11k Palestinians are dead” she interrupted me and went “says who”.
@mathcandidoli
Oh honey your propaganda lies doesn’t work on me .In fact no one kicked them out, the Zionists who left are a bunch of barbarians who decided to occupy another land and kill its people. The Tunisian Jews who chose to stay in their country are no different than any other Tunisian.

NEW: WH claps back at Bernie world over DNC primary calendar:
“Making sure that the Democratic party’s most loyal voters — Black voters — are at the front of the line and not at the back of the bus feels like something no one should be arguing about.”
Thank you Rasmussen for releasing a random Ohio poll and then trash credibility of said poll because you have no reasonable and respectable polling standards.

Biden is fighting back on Clooney.
From a source familiar with event planning: “The President stayed for over 3 hours, while Clooney took a photo quickly and left.”
Defacing a Jewish member of Congress’ office with words like “blood on your hands,” due to what’s happening on the other end of the world, is not a peaceful form of protest.
This is the height of antisemitism.
