objectively funny that these guys kept slipping and falling while they were trying to commit racialized terror w impunity
Leftist streamer Hasan Piker mocked injured ICE agents at a sold-out Minneapolis campaign event alongside Rep. Ilhan Omar, laughing about "funny compilations" of federal officers getting hurt during Operation Metro Surge and joking that "a lot of hip bones were broken."
The comments ignited a firestorm from conservatives and even some Minnesota Democrats. Rep. Angie Craig and Sen. Amy Klobuchar publicly condemned Piker, while Omar's campaign defended her attendance as an effort to mobilize young voters ahead of next week's midterm elections.
Piker, who previously made headlines for saying "America deserved 9/11," has become a polarizing figure on Democratic campaign trails — embraced by some, rejected by others. Omar herself is facing her own scrutiny after HSI agents searched her D.C. home earlier this month and a federal court filing identified her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, aka Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

What are the turnout figures if you count the 5 million Palestinian Arabs living under Israeli tyranny and denied the right to vote?
You should spend more time dealing with issues in New Jersey and less time doing propaganda for Israel's genocide.
What about the millions of Palestinians you have been subjugating for decades? Do they get to vote in your "democracy"?

What you call the “Jewish center” were parties (Bennett, Liberman) every analyst considered as far-right a few years ago.

🚨 SUDAN: At around 8 pm local time yesterday, a drone strike by the Sudanese Armed Forces hit a busy market in Nyala, South Darfur. A second strike also hit a civilian neighbourhood. The Nyala Teaching hospital, which we support, saw over 150 wounded people.
“This is appalling. Markets, homes, and key civilian infrastructure are not targets. All parties to the conflict must protect civilians.”

SAF air strikes kill 102 unarmed civilians in Nyala, with a 113 more wounded during the attack.
Bombs have reportedly hit residential areas across the city, including the Tongonaj Market.
The attack comes as part of a broad aerial campaign in Sudan with the SAF continuing to target civilian areas despite calls for de-escalation and peace.

Lander needs to make the journey Avi Shlaim did from liberal Zionism to anti Zionism imho
Exclusive: Israel revoked entry permits for Brad Lander and other US Jewish figures after they were detained at a West Bank olive harvest last week.

I hate this condescending whataboutism. Yes Bret, if the interior minister of Japan was a right-wing religious zealot using US taxpayer money for ethnic cleansing, they would probably be better known.
Tlaib is absolutely correct and one of the only serious and principled members of Congress.
Of course it's not about Netanyahu. Tlaib has never said she thinks it is. Only "liberal" Zionists who want to run interference for Israel's genocide make that claim. It's about Israel's foundation as a racist ethno-state and decades of subjugation and slaughter.
