Rupa learning - apparently for the first time - that some Muslims are not jihadists
This would be considered blasphemous in Islam. El Sayed is full of surprises.

Today, @thenerve_news publishes a landmark years-long investigation into what may be the biggest online influence campaign ever. There is credible evidence Israel interfered in UK elections using Kate Middleton to spread anti-Muslim hate. 1/
EXCLUSIVE Ads warning of a ‘Muslim invasion of Europe’ reached British screens before the 2024 elections and the Southport riots, and kept coming for 2 more years. Meta and Google took the money, and the trail leads back to Israel, writes disinformation expert @marcowenjones🧵

Lmao This is like base level socialist analysis and what leftists have been saying for decades Wow, thanks Mr billionaire, you finally get why people don’t like you!
Chamath Palihapitiya admits his blind spot on America's broken two-tier economy PALIHAPITIYA: "I got it totally totally totally wrong. I got it totally wong." "I'll go through all the ways in which I got it wrong, but I just want to first acknowledge what my blind spot is. Like most people's blind spots, but I can just speak for myself, it is through the lens of my own lived experience and very narrowly what is in my best interests. And I think what we had was a move away from the culture wars that was very much in my best interest, but I think it was in everybody else's best interests as well. I don't think that was on the ballot. But what I don't think I understood clearly enough, and I think that this election has made extremely clear, is that since COVID, we have moved past political ideology. And I want to say this again: I do not think Democrats or Republicans matter. That is my real takeaway after this election. There is a central block of people that vote the prescient issues of our time." "It was a gargantuan win for Biden, then it was a gargantuan win for Trump, and then it was a gargantuan win for the Democrats in these midterms. What are these people voting for? I think what they are shouting now—they were trying to signal and now they are shouting—is a broad-based belief that the economy has completely decoupled from reality and is broken. The economic reality in America is broken." "There is a small percentage of people, the four of us on this pod and all of our friends, who are the asset owners of America. And we have benefited in every weather condition. When rates were zero, we benefited because we were able to build our businesses with very cheap capital. When rates were high, we benefited because we had pricing power. And in every condition in between, whether there were tariffs, whether there were not tariffs, whether there were subsidies, whether there were not subsidies, we've all managed to continue to accumulate and grow assets, but we are few and far between." "And then there's everybody else who are wage earners, and the structural capacity of the American economy to support and grow wage earners is broken. It's clear. Why do I say that? I do not think, and I disagree with Freeberg, I don't think this has anything to do with socialism. I don't think the far left won particularly more than they were expected. I don't think the far right won particularly more than was expected. This is a complete and total repudiation about the state of the economy. The economy is broken. I have a few charts to support my point of view. Number one, if this was ideological and if ideology mattered, money in politics would have had a more direct impact on the election."

(GIFT LINK) Right-wing activist Laura Loomer has been paid by private clients to make political posts on social media without publicly disclosing the payments, according to a former campaign aide to President Donald Trump and three others. Incredible work @ScottNover and @drewharwell wapo.st/4iDwQUR

The finance minister decided to interrupt my interview, so I challenged him on his billionaire’s budget. We won't make life affordable by giving more handouts to the 1%. It's time to tax the rich so we can all share in the wealth of this country. Add your name: ndp.ca/take-action/wealth-ta…

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

If you're a billionaire, this budget is Christmas come early. Canadians are struggling with the cost of everything — groceries, rent, medication, and everything in between. But this budget only makes it easier for the same corporations fuelling the crisis to profit even more.

Omg HAHA the finance minister walks up while NDP Leader Avi Lewis is live on air speaking to David Cochrane. Avi immediately starts pressing him on giving way more in deductions to big business than they’re spending on affordability measures for Canadians 👀👀👀
