A completely shameful response. This is almost like the “civil unions” stance Democrats took when they were too chickenshit to embrace marriage equality. But it’s worse given the context of the GOP blitzkrieg against trans rights in recent years.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

One thing I really love about Ukraine is I haven't seen a single Muslim here.
It's so refreshing. I am told there are Muslims in Ukraine but I notice they aren't dominating public spaces the way they do in other parts of Europe.
Russia can't say the same. Neither can the United States which has allowed unruly and violent Muslims to infiltrate our political institutions and pollute our country like a an incurable disease.
It's very clean and orderly here. That probably has a lot to do with it.

“An ICE agent got on the phone with me and had a good laugh, because he hadn’t even heard of where my client was deported to,” Mo Goldman said, recalling how the Phoenix ICE didn’t know that Bangui or the Central African Republic existed. “Obviously, it was funny to him — not so funny on our side.”

It’s not about “election security.” More: www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...
The plot to subvert the midterms is getting stranger and more dangerous
Right-wing media figures like Steve Bannon, John Solomon, and Cleta Mitchell are creating a story about interference by China in US elections to justify a national emergency to curtail voting rights.
Images of the following figures:
STEVE BANNON
PETER SCHWEIZER
JOHN SOLOMON
CLETA MITCHELL
BILL PULTE
THE WHITE HOUSETrump, along with MAGA media figures and activists, could attempt to severely curtail voting rights under the pretext of declaring a national emergency posed by China.
1) First, the White House would declassify and release documents supposedly showing foreign interference in US elections.
2) Next, Trump would use that "proof" of a stolen election to declare a national emergency, giving him extraordinary powers over the upcoming midterms.
3) That move would advance anti-voting rights measures in the SAVE America Act, like forcing voters to prove their citizenship, without having to actually pass the law - which Congress, so far, appears reluctant to do.

There's something distinctly medieval about the US aggression against Iran. It's aimless wandering the countryside (or in this case, the skies) and hitting things without any clear objective. It's more like a prolonged raiding campaign. A chevauchée.
