THREAD. When people like Haley Stevens or Fetterman begin openly endorsing fascism, it's helpful to step back and see their role in the counterinsurgency and propaganda ecosystems because it relates to other Democratic Party politicians, pundits, and non-profits.

hahahahaha
Exclusive: Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign says it has raised $1.2 million in the four hours and counting after former primary rival Rep. Haley Stevens backed Republican Mike Rogersin the final messy days of the Michigan Senate race.
That marks his second-best fundraising day since winning the nomination in August.

10/10 handling of an insane situation. he’s going to be a great senator.
El-Sayed: I have a sense that you all are here today because of the decisions of somebody who's not here right now. I'm just going to tell you, this is a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot better from their government. I'm a lot more focused on the 9,999,998 that are not the ones you guys are talking about
I'm not in the business of driving clicks for you. I'm in the business of trying to solve problems for the people of my state

“Obey the laws of the genocidal military occupation” may be the most liberal take of all time. Truly, I don’t think it can be topped. Fill out the genocidal army’s proper forms next time you and your family are being physically removed from your home!

Guys, we’re reaching levels of liberal contradiction heretofore thought impossible. The first ethnic cleansing campaign in human history where the party being ethnically cleansed fighting back is labeled a “criminal act” by nominal allies, hell yes

One of the best political ads you've ever seen
SCOOP @WIRED: Abdul El-Sayed is out with a new paid digital ad in the Michigan Senate race attacking Mike Rogers for helping expand government surveillance, seeking to tap into voter anxieties about tech and Flock cameras weeks before the midterms

Watch it
But is it fascism? Do they really yearn for apocalypse? Isn't that polarizing? Shouldn't we be nice to them?
We made a short video so folks can hear the end timers in their own words and judge for themselves:

Got to work with some incredibly talented filmmakers to turn End Times Fascism into a ten minute video essay. Check it out below.
There’s nothing like hearing the derangement directly from the doom profiteers.

“Data centers are a physical manifestation of so many things that people are upset about in our day-to-day lives,” Levin continued. “It’s not a fight about technology,” he said. “This is a fight about control. This is about who controls the future.”
One way of measuring data center opposition: The richest county in America is now collecting almost half its tax revenue from data centers, poor rural townships are building gleaming schools, and Americans are still screaming, No. nytimes.com/2026/08/31/opini…

Private prisons making $1.4 billion charging corrupt ICE bureaucracy $307,000 “per bed” as top 15 cops in San Francisco make average of $700,000 is why shifting resources from systems of incarceration to systems of care is one of the most popular policies in 40 years of polling.

Jeffries announced his opposition 72 hours after Yale released a study showing the proposal would save $1 trillion and 114,000 lives every year.
NBC News: Hakeem Jeffries says he doesn’t support Medicare For All

Post El-Sayed’s win, Third Way has done media hits in NYT, CNN, WaPo, Vox and not one of these outlets has mentioned who funds Third Way historically or bothered to ask who their current donors are. They are simply treated as a neutral—if vaguely ideological—“moderate think tank”
NEW: Who's funding the dark money Third Way, dug up in most recent tax filings:
- Republican-run insurance industry front group
- Health insurance giant
- Big Pharma
- More insurance lobbyists
...as it fights the Democratic left and Medicare for All:

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year.
The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to massive savings nationwide.
More accessible care would also lead to numerous lives saved.

Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica.

The polls are roughly even and El Sayed having 10,000+ volunteers and Stevens having “hundreds” negates this anyway but it’s very funny guys who insisted Clinton was more electable in 2016 and told people to ignore Sanders outperforming her 8 pts vs Trump are using this line
