Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Ok, now that we got that out of the way. Gottheimer, one of many Zionists who decry tortured connections between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, has absolutely no problem trying to paint all Arabs, all Muslims, all dissent as terrorists. This language from these leaders makes everyone less safe. 111
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 17/05/2026It's also completely false. Tlaib's resolution calls for an end to the violent Israeli invasion and occupation, an end to the crimes against humanity, war crimes, ethnic cleansing. Hundreds of the thousands of Lebanese are being threatened, displaced, and killed. That's not Hezbollah. 111
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 17/05/2026It's also ahistorical. Hezbollah formed to resist the Israeli invasion & occupation of Lebanon in 1982. B/c history doesn't start the first time someone responds to Israeli aggression. The South of Lebanon has been an area for Palestinian refugees as well, from a century of Israeli ethnic cleansing. 111

Instead he spreads disinformation, encouraging violent response. 011

Bad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Hello #vapol it is I, #njpol, from the past with a warning for future you. Don't fall for the same bad takes that led NJ to run "Dems" like Josh Gottheimer to "purple" districts. Run radical candidates, take brave policy stands. Be Analilia Mejias in a House of Josh Gottheimers. Keep the takes good. 111
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Context: One of NJs many political problems is that there's very little critical journalism focused on the state. Some of the coverage we do get like the NJ Globe and the Star Ledger Editorial Board, is just laundering rumors and vendettas, giving them an incredibly corrosive gloss of journalism. 132
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Tom Moran, now Substacker, formerly Star Ledger Editorial lead, is a prime example. Opinion writers obviously have opinions. But by incorporating unsourced interviews, and statistics the writing (when not printed on a page with a huge "Opinion" at the top) appears to be well sources and fact-checked 122
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 13/02/2026In reality it's anything but. For example here Moran calls NJ11 a D+5 district. There's no source & it's utterly divorced from electoral history. Obama carried the district by 5 in 2008! That was almost 20 years and 2 redistrictings ago. Last year, Harris was +8 & Sherrill won this House seat by 14. 112
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 13/02/2026So why is Moran so down on Mejia? B/c his BFF Julie Roginsky, per her own public statements, is running Malinowski's super PAC and consulting on his campaign. Funny how that's not mentioned in his "reporting." Moran wouldn't be questioning if Mejia should primary Malinowski if he had won. Thereby: 🤡 222

But maybe worse, his response to the new Mayor calling it out is to double down saying if he was still Mayor he would have refused to raise taxes for the 5th straight budget. 123
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 07/02/2026A large factor in municipal finance woes is that Mayors & Councils remain laser focused on attracting business & development via tax gimmicks rather than investment. Municipal housing wouldn't pay taxes, sure, but it would capture rents directly, without the profit motive. 113
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Municipal land sales fix this year's budget, but public ownership allows for ongoing revenue and more control over how land is used. This is highlighted by ICE concentration camps now having to be fought against. 123
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Municipal/County ownership requires investment, which is why Gov Murphy's failure to follow through on his campaign promise of creating a public bank will continue to haunt our state as interest flows out to corporations at higher rates to tax payers and not back into other projects and lower taxes. 123
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Fulop has long been known for 2 things. Catering to real estate/business & being a poster. This episode perfectly captures both as he has a new job shilling for businesses against Mamdani's extremely popular policies in NYC & saying "and I'd do the stupid thing again" is peak posting through it. 123
Reposted by Bad NJ Politics TakesBad NJ Politics Takes @badnjtakes.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Folks on the Partnership for NYC Board should probably keep a close eye on their financials. And Mayors and Councils need to accept that they can't provide for their residents while also continuing to starve themselves of tax revenue and income by catering to business and the ultra wealthy. 123
