This pernicious lie is constantly spread by both the far-left and far-right. The reality is most Americans are middle class or above.
Replying to @RioVeradonir
Doesn't really matter, the middle class is dead either way. Top 1% own 55% of all stocks, bottom 50% own nothing at all.

Zionism is the most successful indigenous rights movement and decolonization project in history. If you wish to find ethnic supremacy go visit any Arab state.
Zionism is ethnic supremacy, racism. Israel is a textbook example of what happens when ethnic supremacists are concentrated in one place.

It's incredibly obnoxious this political obsession with "the most vulnerable communities". You need to be focused on taxpayers, actually. You can't triage a society like it's an emergency room. Taxpayers prop up everything, and if you disregard them for the "marginalized" class, the productive members of society leave and everything collapses. Some people are in dire straits through no fault of their own. Many others are there because they suck, and we need to be honest about that. They're either addicts or malcontents or they perpetuate destructive culture. The more you indulge them, the worse their destructive habits get. Hold the door open for opportunities, but if they can't get their shit together, giving them free stuff just further incentivizes bad behavior. The illegal street vendor thing in LA has become a plague. It's not cute. It's not cultural enrichment. It's 3rd world shit. Get a job in a restaurant. Let the restaurant do al fresco dining, like a civilized society. Can we please stop pretending that street vendors dumping pig fat onto our sidewalks is somehow virtuous?

So good to see the entire Pelosi familyโ€™s hopes go down in flames. She was sure she could hand her seat to whomever she chose and the supine voters of SF would just follow along. Her legacy is ashes.
The best revenge for @SpeakerPelosi hard-left turn this year is ensuring the candidate she's endorsed to take her seat loses in November. Defeat Connie Chan in November 2026.

And today's European Bison Safari in Biaล‚owieลผa Forest (NE Poland). 26 individuals seen during four encounters. Excellent time for those mammals has started just now - they will remain showy until early spring, often forming big herds of dozens (or so) animals.

One of the issues with resolving this conflict is that the Arab world simply does not acknowledge the European "rules" of warfare, such as surrendering and accepting loss of territory when losing an offensive war. Germany lost 25% of its territory to Poland after WWII. We don't call that "occupied Germany." Further, an unspoken truth is that Jews were perceived as a weak pushover race, and Arab Muslims felt deep humiliation at consistently losing to them in wars, believing that Muslims should be dominant and unchallenged in the region. Many see defeating Israel as necessary for redemption of their people.

Haley Stevens is being called a traitor, but by reversing her endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed, she is showing exactly the kind of courage moderate Democrats once cheered, writes James Kirchick. thefp.com/p/haley-stevens-abโ€ฆ

Haley Stevens was going to do a Democratic unity rally with Abdul El-Sayed and James Clyburn where she was going to encourage her supporters, many of whom have serious reservations about El-Sayed, to vote for him. This was very important for El-Sayed, because Stevens is popular among Jewish and black Michigan Democrats and Clyburn is an icon among black voters nationwide. El-Sayed has weakness with both of these groups and needs to shore them up going into election day. Stevens's condition was that he make an unambiguous, unqualified condemnation of the antisemitic rhetoric his friends, supporters and surrogates have been using, including in ads run in Michigan. El-Sayed refused to do this, and instead asked Stevens not to appear at the event. At that point, Stevens realized that he was not interested in unity with her or her supporters and that she could no longer support him for Senate. El-Sayed is an antisemite. He is friends with antisemites Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur. He will not condemn them. He will not condemn the awful things they say. He has had multiple opportunities to condemn their hateful rhetoric, and he always says: "He is not part of a campaign, nobody speaks for me but me, and I'm not here to talk about that." That's not good enough. If that is how a Republican talked about Nick Fuentes or Richard Spencer, it would be the biggest controversy in the race. The fact that so many Democrats are willing to tolerate this from Abdul El-Sayed is an indictment of the entire party. There is no coalition that can include both the Jewish Democratic members of Temple Israel and supporters of the Hezbollah terrorist who tried to murder their preschool children. Abdul El-Sayed made a decision about who he wanted in his tent. Haley Stevens was late to realize it, but it is admirable that she finally decided to be an upstander instead of a bystander. No Nazis in the US Senate.
Genuinely struggling even to construct a theory of mind for this beyond "Abdul told me not to come to his campaign event so fuck him." None of the Hasan Piker stuff is even remotely new!

For my Jewish Democratic friends feeling boxed in right now - and for every moderate who feels homeless in their own party. Say it with me: ๐Ÿ”ต I donโ€™t surrender my principles to win an election. My conscience, the Constitution and the rule of law come before any party. ๐Ÿ”ต I donโ€™t have to tolerate hostility inside my own political home just because the other side is worse. I can demand better from both. Everyone should be doing exactly that right now. ๐Ÿ”ต It is normal to be loudest about the hate that wants me, my family or my people gone - whether it comes from the left or the right. ๐Ÿ”ต Nobody can guilt, shame or force me into a vote that makes me or the people I love less safe. ๐Ÿ”ต Nobody can make me believe a lie. Nobody can punish me for refusing. ๐Ÿ”ต My vote is earned through respect and shared values. It is not a ransom paid to keep the other side out. ๐Ÿ”ต Solidarity means standing by my allies, at home and abroad, when it costs me something - not dropping them to pass someone's reactionary, partisan, political purity tests. ๐Ÿ”ต Free nations stand together against the regimes that want them dead. That used to be the center of both parties. It still should be. ๐Ÿ”ต Any party that wants to govern must run candidates who build broad coalitions, not ones who alienate the center and demand obedience. If you want my vote, earn it.

12 people now indicted in Michigan for a campaign of terror against Jews and anyone tied to Israel. Jars of noxious chemicals thrown into family homes. Windows smashed. Homes marked with red inverted triangles, the symbol Hamas uses to mark targets for death. One allegedly threatened to slowly poison a victim once he became a doctor. Targets: the Jewish Federation of Detroit, UM regents, a campus cop, a student. This was never a "protest movement." It's Hamas tactics on American streets. apnews.com/article/activistsโ€ฆ

Not gonna lie. I'd like to see both Paxton and El Sayed lose next week. Regardless of what happens in the big picture, I'd love for both parties to lose big, winnable races because they had no shame.

That Abdul El-Sayed has refused every opportunity to make a simple statement condemning a blatantly false and anti-Semitic ad produced on his behalf tells you pretty much everything you need to know about both his arrogance and his utter contempt for Jewish voters.
