New report out about how Bari Weiss is demanding that CBS reporters investigate @AbdulElSayed's non-existent ties to Mulsim Brotherhood. Of course, there is no investigation of Mike Rogers ties to the genocidal government of Israel. But it's not just CBS, all of national media has engaged in the most bigoted campaign against a candidate in my lifetime.
All Mike Rogers does is talk about how Abdul is Muslim because he can't offer any policies the voters actually want. He offers endless war and subservience to a foreign nation. But it's not just Rogers, almost our entire national media has joined in on the bigotry.
They're all attacking El-Sayed. And the only thing they're attacking him on is, "He's Muslim, so we're going to try to connect him to terrorism, because we're all disgusting bigots, not actual reporters."

My coworker's mother passed away last November.
She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work.
He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate.
Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office.
Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title.
He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance.
The caseworker sighed and told him:
"Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full."
He offered to pay a monthly settlement.
They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction.
A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien.
You don't own generational wealth.
You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.

Because the house is worth $190,000 and the average house sale price is over$440,000, the house likely qualifies for the "modest value" exemption. (Check county values)
YOU MUST APPLY FOR THIS WITHIN 60 DAYS OF GETTING THE NOTICE!!!

What’s happening in France is a wake-up call to the entire world. 🌍 The cost of living keeps rising while everyday people struggle to survive. People are tired of working hard just to barely get by. Governments need to start listening to the people before frustration turns into chaos. 💯🙏🏽

The French trashed the McDonalds, looted the Apple Store and Luis Vuitton's hand bags.
All run by global billionaires.
But they left the French Chicken shop untouched.

Let this sink in…
The skull had been taken to a local pub, where people used it as a communal ashtray, because they believed the remains belonged to an Aboriginal child.
Their disgust and remorse only surfaced when they discovered that the skull belonged to a murdered white girl.

they would rather let republicans win than give in to the demands of the left. they hate facing their voters.
James Carville says he'd rather have Republicans keep control of the House than Democrats winning the chamber by 5 seats.
"I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats win by five, because if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA. Like, Hakeem cannot move. There’s no place for him to go."

Jokes about a vaginal prolapse ? Hanson demonstrates, yet again, that she is a vicious, nasty, sleazy grub.

This is so perfect. Honestly, I thought "Tommy" was a plant by the way he walked off at the end. Abdul El-Sayed just looks too good here.
But after looking it up, I learned he was a former Josh Hawley staffer.
This is the most inspiring performance by an American politician that I can remember seeing.
El-Sayed was faced with a bigoted question. He didn't hide from it or pander. He broke down why it was a bigoted question, and gave a stirring defense of American principles and the Constitution.
At the end, his interlocutor wouldn't condemn Christian Nationalism! El-Sayed has a perfect response to this, and "everybody clapped."
A lot of us have had this experience of arguing with right-wingers, questioning them, and then finding out that they have no principles, they're just bigots. A Hawley staffer will talk about the US Constitution and freedom of religion to attack a Muslim politician, and sing a completely different tune when it comes to Christian fundamentalists.
Again, the "everybody clapped" nature of this, followed by Tommy walking off in shame, made me think that he was a plant.
But no. This was a real-life rightoid, getting exposed as the hateful, hypocritical bigot that he is in front of the entire world.
Abdul El-Sayed's rise in American politics has made me a lot more optimistic about our future.

There is certainly no "truth" here, just continuous, recycled Israeli propaganda

this is supposed to be the premier center left democratic think tank btw. now they hide their donors and neera spends every waking moment trying to discipline the left.
When Neera Tanden @neeratanden returned as CEO last year, the Center for American Progress stopped posting its donor names.
CAP then announced Antony Blinken, who ProPublica reported rejected U.S. reports on Israel blocking aid to Gaza, to its board.

No, because they're too busy looting and burning families including their children alive in Palestine.

You’re have to be quite a fucking waste of sperm to get paid to push Zionist propaganda against a youth-led working class uprising in Europe.

Imagine if this was in Iran or Syria.
We would never hear the end of it.
