SCOOP- Last week MAGA House candidate Anthony Sabatini spoke at a Gen-Z white Christian nationalist conference with close ties to Nick Fuentes & the groyper movement. The event’s producer worked w/ Unite The Right, Identity Evropa & other alt-right groups

Incredible that leader of settler community of Hebron posing for a fawning selfie w/ anti-Semitic Hungarian authoritarian Orban goes off w/o a peep, but a Jewish cartoonist lampooning a powerful lobby for backing insurrectionists who refused to certify elex. results = big news.

Disturbing but not surprising to see @IfNotNow pushing this disgusting cartoon, demonizing @AIPAC and falsely equating Israel-supporters with those behind the #Jan6thInsurrection. We should be coming together, not stoking the flames of #antisemitism, anti-Zionism and hate.

If anyone else wants the recording of the convo where rising conservative leaders incl Nate Hochman, Luca Cacciatore, Gabe Guidarini & Saurabh Sharma seemed to agree with a lot of Nick Fuentes’ main points about white racial identity, demographics & the Right, let me know
Quote Tweet
Nate Hochman has become a prominent young conservative writer for outlets like the NYT Opinion section. But Hochman has quietly praised white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, calling him a good influence on Republican youth. thedispatch.com/p/the-new-righ

This is deeply morbid stuff but the point is, the organized Right knows how to hit their audience in the gut w/life-or-death appeals to fervor. The Left does too but we are very marginal. Liberals need to stop sitting on their hands & fight to win

Imagine if the liberal establishment rallied their base with this kind of hard-hitting, dramatic political theater for causes that actually matter- say, destruction of the planet & bodily autonomy for starters- instead of stale fundraising emails

Hello I would like to share with you the most astonishing thing I have ever seen At this CPAC booth you receive a silent disco headset that plays harrowing testimony from people arrested for participating in J6 Instead of dancing, you stand around and watch this guy cry

Finally started using ‘mark as unread’ in my inbox. Though I still maintain that it is an absurd & non-sensical category that renders meaningless the very distinction between read & unread emails, and in truth, the very act of reading an email at all

Crucial to attend to shifts and slippages like this, because they show how the mainstream discourse around antisemitism is not a consistent, clear project of fighting prejudice—it's a tactical, political strategy to discredit and intimidate critics of Israel.
Quote Tweet
It is striking how rapidly the narrative has shifted from “it is antisemitic to suggest AIPAC funding has any role in Congress� (remember the kerfuffle around the Benjamins?) to “it is antisemitic to focus on or criticize the fact that AIPAC funding has a role in a Congress.�

Not going to share the video, but just seen the clip from Press TV of David Miller and Chris Williamson describing the Jewish community in Odessa as a settler-colony. Some of you out there seriously need to learn some humility and admit you were wrong to defend these ghouls.

And this-

.@Andy_Levin has been one of the strongest voices for climate, labor and social justice. Congress is losing an important champion of working people in #MI11 and everywhere. We are grateful for his leadership and for the young people who poured so much into this race.

For over a century, left-wing critics correctly predicted that political Zionism, as a reactionary nationalist movement, would time & again find common cause w/forces of repression against workers & oppressed peoples around the world. This is what they were talking about

Andy Levin's primary loss is a tough hit for unions. There's a large labor caucus and other members with legit union CV's (Norcross comes to mind) but Levin's degree of organizing experience and handle on the systemic challenges unions face were true rarities on today's Hill.

AIPAC doesn't campaign on Israel and they don't win on Israel because their positions aren't popular. Their playbook is actually pretty basic: don't talk about Israel; drop millions; claim victory was about Israel; silence progressives on Palestine with threat of money drop. 🧵

Everyone involved with AIPAC will have to tell their grandkids that when American democracy was in danger, they were laser-focused on smacking down those who rose up to defend it. Do your part to make sure you have a better story to tell your grandkids
