He literally cannot stop personally replying to - and agreeing with! - the worst of the worst right-wing bad-faith actors on this site.
It’s kinda amazing that the man has over 100 million followers, his timeline and mentions column must be jammed full, but he always manages to seek out the worst of the worst rightwing accounts to reply to, & in the nicest, most agreeable way. Just total coincidence, I’m sure.

Me: “Do you believe the 2024 election will be a free & fair election if Black people are denied the right to vote?”

Shadi Hamid: "Black people are denied the right to vote? That’s the first I’ve heard..”

Mehdi: "Sorry, what?"

Amazing to me how it has become the new conventional wisdom to say we *overreacted* to the pandemic when the exact *opposite* is the case: the U.S. took the pandemic much *less* seriously than we should have done & suffered way more deaths, as a result, than we should have done.
And it kills me to hear so many people pretending to claim they care about school closures or 'learning loss' from the pandemic, and weaponizing children for political purposes, while ignoring the 200,000+ *orphaned kids* the pandemic created in America *alone*.
Sickening tbh.
Oh and please stop going on about how Sweden handled the pandemic better. Can we let that myth die? Please.

I’m watching Dem lawmakers line up in their droves to denounce Rashida Tlaib’s ‘apartheid’ remarks on this website.

Imagine if they applied that proactive energy & message discipline to denouncing the GOP’s mainstreaming of white supremacy and actual hate-filled antisemitism.
People often say Dems don’t have the GOP’s unity when it comes to launching attacks on their opponents - not true, as today shows, a lot of elected Dems move quickly and loudly and en masse when it comes to denouncing a Squad member.

Meanwhile the GOP’s fascist turn continues…
One of our two main parties has mainstreamed conspiracies about Soros, and Jews bringing in immigrants, and globalists, and is led by a man who praised Nazis. And yet the other one is focused on… Rashida Tlaib, who called out supporters of Israel’s *government*. Sigh.

Why, what's this? Trump standing in front of two men in uniform as he defends his racist remarks about The Squad? BUT WHAT ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL TRADITION????
nytimes.com/2019/07/15/us/…
Here's the thing, I'd prefer for all politicians not to stand in front of troops or cops & give speeches.

But to think *that* is something worth remarking on tonight, & not the substance of his speech or the existential moment our democracy is in... I just have no words tbh.
Maybe we worry more about the 'presidential tradition' that says a president leaves office when he loses and doesn't incite an armed insurrection. Or worry more about losing free and fair presidential elections altogether in two years time. #JustSayin

It’s like the flu! It’s harmless! It’s mild!
I’m still astonished at the fact that, despite the wealth of evidence showing the long-term health risks from even ‘mild’ cases of Covid, as a country we have just shrugged, accepted mass infection, and acted as if the still-cautious among us are the *odd* ones. It’s madness.
Touch wood, I haven’t had Covid yet but, thanks to indifference of so many of my fellow Americans & recklessness of my government, I probably will get it at some point.

Still doesn’t mean I am *ok* with getting it! It is really bad & even ‘mild’ cases come with long-term risks.

Ridiculous. Infuriating. Inexplicable.

What does Biden ‘agree’ with doing? What does the leader of this country want to do to stop the increasingly fascistic assault on our democratic institutions and basic rights?
I’ll say this everyday if need be but you can blame the awful Manchinema as much as you like for Dem inaction but the reality is that much of the leadership of the Democratic Party, from the White House to Congress, is not cut out for this radical political moment we are in.
‘Vote harder’ just doesn’t cut it, that’s for sure. Yes, tell people to vote but vote for what? What’s the plan? Codify Roe? Okay but what happens when the Supreme Court shoots it down? And vote harder without… voting rights? That’s a very privileged and closed-eye approach.
