I was an engaged Democratic voter when the Republican Tea Party was born in 2009, lit afire by the election of a Black president. I watched it spend years cultivating bigotry, attacking institutions, fomenting hate against minorities, and holding its own party hostage with extreme demands, all before birthing MAGA, destroying the GOP, and remaking the country in its image. So when I see the seeds of a "Democratic Tea Party" forming, I feel obligated to ask: have you lost your fucking mind? Reactionary movements follow a pattern. They start with legitimate grievances, get fueled by rage against a common enemy, and end up consuming everything, including the people who started them. The Republican Tea Party is proof. It didn't save conservatism. It devoured it. Now here's the part that's going to make some of you uncomfortable. The energy I'm seeing in parts of this movement, like the obsessive focus on Jews, Israel, Zionists, treated as interchangeable targets...has a historical echo that should stop everyone cold. The Nazi party defied easy left-right categorization. It drew from across the political spectrum. What unified it wasn't ideology. It was a shared enemy: primarily Jews. That fusion of nationalism and populist rage killed 6 million Jews and cost tens of millions more lives in Europe and beyond. I'm not calling anyone a Nazi. I'm saying the pattern, a political movement organizing itself around hatred of a specific group, is one of the most dangerous things in modern history. And I'm asking you to recognize it before it derails you, or worse, it defines you. Reactionary politics has gotten too many people killed already. Please rethink the energy and goals of your political project before it's too late to course-correct.

In Borough Park, NY 🇺🇸, a man was seen viciously beating a rabbi in an unprovoked attack. To see this hate and violence, especially during the High Holidays, is truly heartbreaking. How many more attacks until our leaders understand the gravity of the situation?

Macklemore wants you to believe he’s a force for peace. Hence the doves and olive branches: So why does he rap “long live the resistance” with glorifying images of Black Panthers? Who murdered cops and peace officers? Why does he glorify the IRA? Who murdered 500 innocents? Popularized car bombings and was responsible for Bloody Sunday? And why is the Palestine Youth Movement—who believes in resistance by any means necessary—one of the presenting sponsors for his three Jihad city tour? They glorify October 7th. They believe in Intifada… And Macklemore wants you to believe he’s a force for peace? Nah, Macklemore is about justifying murder; just listen to his music and look at his sponsors.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at macklemore.com

The Islamic regime officials were prohibited by the U.S. gov from even so much as shopping while in New York for the UNGA… yet they were allowed to organize a meeting with some of their favorite mouthpieces in the U.S. Negar Mortazavi? Rob Malley? Farnaz Fassihi? Trita Parsi? You are all a disgrace.

News organizations should not be allowed to turn off comments on stories they post. How are they different from Hamas propagandists?

Personally, @edsheeran, tell these punks to eff right off. Look at that slime ball cousin! Eff him! Everyone trying to get a piece of the fame and notoriety while they can, while Ed is under attack. GRIFTERS! SCUMBAGS! Totalitarian thought control bullshit. 🖕
Ed Sheeran’s cousin: “People think I’m jealous of him… but jealous of what?!” I think he asked Ed to take him on tour with him and help give him a career, but then Ed heard what you will in the last few seconds of this clip and said… nah, you’re OK.

‼️Russia has once again brought death to Kyiv. Earlier this morning, I wrote about a boy who was killed. Now, there are four more dead. Now, their lives have been cut short in broad daylight. This is not a movie. This is Kyiv. Ukraine. Today. Russia continues to kill civilians. The world must see this. Russia must be held accountable for every life it has taken.

Hate and radicalizing ideologies have always fascinated me. At various points of my career, I have had open and blunt conversations with black Hebrew Israelites, islamist, violent jihadists, neo nazis, white nationalist, etc. When I've talked with these people, I don't morally load my questions or responses. I'm also purposefully less focused on what they say, and intentionally focused on gaining the motivation behind what they say. This is what I think is key in exposing true opinions and worldviews. Islamist/Leftist aligned politicians, activists, or organizations who often quietly have support for designated foreign terrorist organizations have brilliantly evolved. They have found ways to hide funding from the federal government, post the Holy Land Foundation trial. They have mastered how to rhetorically obscure their support for terrorist organizations, to where even normie liberals sign on. In regards to Islamist/Leftist and their common support for designated foreign terrorist organizations, we aren't in the early 2000, or mid 2010s anymore. Asking someone to condemn acts of terrorism is the lowest tier option at obtaing honest opinions or world view. Instead questions should be more directed at the root (the organizations themselves) in regards to designated foreign terrorist organizations, and not particular acts like terrorism. When pressed directly we see situations like Rep. Daraliza walking out of an interview when asked about Hamas. Or when someone like Abdul, who hates running, would likely rather do a lap around the globe than speak against Hezbollah. These people, and many others, live in a moral framework that is hard for many to jump into. They absolutely believe that innocent civilians should never be targeted, but that terrorist organizations like Hezbollah are moral resistance. Nuremberg was a flight movie for me. I'm mixed on it broadly, but this scene stays with me. In this scene this question is asked: Prosecution: Knowing what we know now, knowing what happened to 6 million Jews. Would you still follow Adolf Hitler? Goring: Yes Imagine how ineffective and honestly disastrous it would be if it were this. Prosecution: Knowing what we know now, knowing what happened to 6 million Jews. Would you still stay in your post as the Reichsmarschall. Goring: No. I supported peaceful, but forced migration and evacuation. I had no idea of the extermination of Jews. They are smart enough smart enough to condemn all terrorism, but ideologically committed enough to not do so for all organizations. piped.video/pDgkUVYva0Q?si=KZiR…
