SNL with a joke painting Abdul El-Sayed out as being antisemitic after Abdul’s endured some of the most racist Islamophobic attacks on a campaign trail in recent memory

It is deeply disappointing and hurtful to see a player on as popular a team as the Blue Jays promote Islamophobia and conspiracy theories.
Muslims, particularly youth, who cheer for the team and its players will now doubt whether they truly belong to the Jays fanbase.
There is simply a no room for Islamophobia or hate of any kind in the MLB or within the Jays organization.
We call upon the MLB, the MLSE, the Blue Jays, and all leaders to denounce these anti-Muslim posts. We urge leadership to follow the same precedent it has established when other players have taken bigoted stances against other communities.
We also call for a full apology from Mr. Santander, as well as a commitment from him to meet with Muslim communities to thoroughly understand why his posts are false, hurtful, and harmful to Muslims in Canada.

U.S Senator, Abdul El-Sayed defends trans rights in new interview:
“I believe in rights. And even though somebody might use rights that you don’t understand, you never mean to use yourself, you still got to show up and fight for those rights.”“The minute you ascent to government taking anybody’s rights, whether you use them or you don’t, you are assenting to government taking everybody’s rights.
Canada's NDP just sponsored a government petition calling on the Liberals to save BioWare.
These are brought into public record forcing the government to table a formal response within 45 days: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…
BioWare is an Edmonton-based video game studio that created acclaimed series like #MassEffect, Baldur’s Gate, and Dragon Age. Canada’s video game industry creates some of our most important cultural exports, and #BioWare was among our greatest success stories. (1/3)

DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER
Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses.
- Medicare for All
- A $20-an-hour minimum wage
- The PRO Act
- A wealth tax on billionaires, which would pay for universal childcare, free public colleges and universities, and a massive housing program
- An AI data center moratorium
- Bringing ICE under control and comprehensive immigration reform
- REAL campaign finance reform

For years, my dad battled Parkinson’s disease. On Election Night, I got to tell him, “Pop, we won.”
This morning, he passed away.
A part of me believes he held on just long enough to see his son make it to Congress.
He won’t be there when I’m sworn in. But I know he’ll be standing right beside me.
Rest easy, Daddy. I’ll take it from here. These next two years are for you ❤️

Being right years ahead of others isn’t nearly as satisfying as people think. Nobody apologizes for treating you like a crazy. They just come back years later, repeating what you told them as if it’s some groundbreaking revelation because they finally heard it from someone else.

How interesting when the tide turns suddenly all these streamers who were scared of getting political are making it clear they’ve always been on the progressive side. This is the guy who couldn’t support Palestine publicly until recently once the mass majority of people turned on Israel. It’s cowardly to only speak out when there’s no risk in doing so. But that’s just my opinion!
This whole conversation is incredible, and a reminder that we’ve never seen Pierre Poilievre or Mark Carney communicate policy on this level.
This is great, David should've let Avi Lewis keep going.

Emma Vigeland CALLS OUT CNN for asking Talarico if he’ll “stand up to” El-Sayed:
What a PREPOSTEROUS way to frame that question, “Will you stand up to Democrats? Will you put a hold on this scary Muslim man, Abdul El-Sayed, will you? Talarico, please, please, good Christian man with the boyish looks will you save us from the scary Muslim guy that wants to give us all healthcare?”
Kick this overpriced bigot off the team @BlueJays

This. If you saw @AbdulElSayed answering the question from Fox News about taxing the rich out of their "hard earned money". He responding saying rich never earned that money, their money earned that money just by sitting in an investment account. Taxing 1% is a rounding error.
