Did you know that the USA has *never* elected a Pakistani American to Congress?

I’d be the first—ever.

My campaign for Congress in IL-11 is about economic, climate, & social Justice. And it’s about representation, because representation matters.

How amazing a rebuke to bigotry if Americans stood United for justice & helped me make history? I need your support. Join my campaign for US Congress. Sign up to volunteer and donate any amount at www.qasimrashid.com — because justice cant wait.

I think it was Finland that did that, gave houses to all the homeless, ended it completely, and it paid for itself by saving all the resources previously used on homelessness

"Jaw-dropped at some of the Gen Z turnout rates from last night's election compared to 2021.

—Temple University: 523% HIGHER
—Penn State: 300% HIGHER
—College of William & Mary: 128% HIGHER

Gen Z turned out & made Republicans find out. We will do it again in 2024. Thank a Gen Z."

Ramesh #NotGoingBack

@imstilljeremy @shepgo @baruch@babka.social @SteveThompson @baruch

There are 3 problems with #Tlaib:

1. She hasn't condemned #Hamas ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

2. She is lying about #Biden ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

3. She is rallying #Muslims in #Michigan to vote against Biden ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

Only (1) is covered by @baruch's explanation, and I can't fault Tlaib for that.

(2) and (3) are extremely problematic as they smack of #interference in #Election2024 and endanger #US and world #security.

110/ Rubin:

After affirming her pride in her work on the Trump Hotel Collection, and specifically the Doral and Old Post Office projects, but not extending that pride to her history with the family business more broadly, Ivanka Trump is off the stand for good.

The defense promised that their examination of Ivanka would move into tomorrow; now that it’s not the case, the principal law clerk asks if they have a witness for tomorrow. They don’t.

Problems with Presley Dem loss in Mississippi: At least NINE Hinds County polls (which includes nearly 83%-Black Capital Jackson) ran out of ballots with thousands waiting to vote, and a circuit judge denied a request to keep polls open until 9 pm. wlbt.com/2023/11/08/circuit-ju

LA County just agreed to pay a reporter $700k after she was slammed to the ground and arrested by LASD while covering a protest -- making this likely the largest payout to a reporter in connection with covering a 2020 protest so far.

What's wild is that the county apparently had such a weak case they agreed to settle before a suit was formally filed. latimes.com/california/story/2

Scoop: A Florida woman was arrested today for threatening a federal judge. The target appears to be Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk who oversaw a case that asked him to place restrictions on the #abortion drug mifepristone.

#Ivanka testified that once the financing details had been worked out, all of her attention was devoted to its redevelopment. (not her new baby?) Just the hotel, though. She said the golf course design was all #Trump.

"My father has an affinity for golf.”

When #Doral was fully redeveloped, Ivanka said #DeutscheBank was pleased w/ the transformation, & changed some terms of the loan in Trump's favor.

People who say that antisemitism is an American problem, let's talk about the antisemitism in #Canada just in the last week.

In #Montreal there have been two firebombings of synagogues:

globalnews.ca/news/10075973/mo

A week ago, a Jewish woman was punched out for holding a sign for one of the Hamas hostages:

The K-word is being used without fear at #Condordia:

And at Toronto Metropolitan University a Jewish student was told Hitler didn't finish the job:

EDIT: It seems there's been coverage by the CBC and Trudeau. Thanks for the updates.
