The judge who Amir Ali, who became a citizen in 2019 and appointed by Biden is one of the most radical judges on the bench. Biden appointed him so he could be the first Arab American to be a district court judge.

Today this judge said Trump must pay out 4 billion in foreign aide.

He was handpicked and promoted heavily by American Justice Alliance.

🧵Let’s take a little look at this dark money group that put over 40 judges on the bench.
1/ Introducing the Alliance for Justice (AFJ)
Founded in 1979, AFJ is a progressive legal advocacy group based in Washington, D.C. It unites over 140 civil rights, environmental, and social justice organizations, aiming to influence judicial nominations and bolster democratic values.

2/ How AFJ Is Funded
AFJ receives support from major liberal philanthropies, including:

•Ford Foundation – ~$3.36 million

•Atlantic Foundation – ~$2.45 million

•Open Society Foundations (Soros) – ~$1.6 million

Additionally, they’ve received general operating grants from the MacArthur Foundation totaling around $2.77 million over 40 years, where he was the Director.

Plus, recent grant awards included $1M from Ford, $750K from California Wellness, and $500K from JPB Foundation.
They have a little program called

Bolder Advocacy which is a division within AFJ that trains nonprofits on how to:

•Legally engage in lobbying and political advocacy

•Influence legislation or regulations at the local, state, and federal levels

•Mobilize communities and voters to influence public policy

•Challenge government actions in courts and legislatures

In short: it helps progressive-aligned nonprofits become political players—without violating their tax-exempt status.

🧵🧵Let’s expose the Working Families Party that is propping up Mumdani in New York and how they are anything but a grass roots organization for working families.

They are anything but grassroots for the people.
Working Families Party, ACORN, Obama, and the Dark‑Money “Grassroots” Narrative

1. ACORN’s Major Scandals & Controversies

•Embezzlement (1999–2000): ACORN’s co-founder Wade Rathke concealed embezzlement by his brother Dale—nearly $950,000—from the organization. The theft wasn’t disclosed to board members or law enforcement and was quietly resolved via restitution. (Wade and Dale Rathke later stepped down.)

•Voter Registration Fraud (2007–2009): Multiple chapters of ACORN were embroiled in voter registration fraud—such as fake submissions—and legal charges ensued. In Washington State, ACORN paid $25,000 and acknowledged criminal liability if fraud was proven. In Pittsburgh, six employees pled guilty to forgery and other violations.

•Undercover Videos (2009): Conservative activists James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles secretly filmed ACORN staff appearing to give advice on criminal ventures (e.g., tax evasion, human smuggling). Though videos circulated widely, many employees had been misled or were joking, and independent investigations concluded that the tapes were heavily edited and did not show criminal wrongdoing. Still, political backlash was swift—federal contracts ended, funding evaporated, and ACORN declared bankruptcy by 2010.
2. From ACORN to WFP

•The Working Families Party (WFP) was co-founded in 1998 by a coalition that included ACORN, along with Citizen Action of New York and other progressive groups—embedding ACORN’s grassroots organizing ethos into WFP’s DNA.

🧵Why the United States Must Leave the United Nations

The United Nations was established in 1945 as a response to the horrors of World War II. It was built on the ashes of war and genocide, intended as a global forum to prevent future conflict, champion human rights, and safeguard the dignity of nations.

That was the ideal. But nearly eight decades later, the reality is starkly different. The institution that once held the promise of peace has become a sprawling, unaccountable bureaucracy that empowers dictators, undermines democracies, and actively erodes the sovereignty of the very nations that fund it.
No country has been more instrumental in creating and sustaining the United Nations than the United States. From its financial contributions to its military support to the symbolic gesture of hosting its headquarters in New York City, America has been the backbone of the UN for nearly 80 years. And yet, the United Nations has not only failed to serve U.S. interests—it has repeatedly and brazenly worked against them.

In 2023, the United States contributed more than $12.5 billion to the UN system. This included hundreds of millions to its regular budget, over a billion to peacekeeping operations, and billions more in voluntary contributions to agencies like the WHO, UNICEF, and UNDP. These payments represent nearly one-quarter of the UN’s total funding. No other nation comes close. And yet, the return on this massive investment is insult, obstruction, and ideological warfare against American values.
The United States is regularly outvoted in the General Assembly by blocs of countries who share neither our political system nor our moral foundation. Nations that routinely abuse human rights—regimes that crush dissent, jail journalists, and criminalize religious freedom—sit on UN councils with the power to influence international norms and criticize the West. American policy is treated with disdain, our allies are vilified, and our enemies are elevated.

🧵Thread: How the “Teach Palestine” Curriculum Promotes Terrorism by Framing Violence as Resistance

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about education it’s about indoctrination. The Teach Palestine Project, pushed by the Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA), is injecting classrooms with a narrative that romanticizes terrorism and reframes violent attacks as “resistance.”
Their curriculum doesn’t teach critical thinking it teaches a one-sided propaganda model where Hamas is resistance, Israel is colonialism, and terrorism is justified as liberation. These materials are being presented to U.S. teachers as “social justice education.”

They explicitly glorify the intifadas, violent uprisings that targeted civilians. One resource praises the First Intifada for laying the groundwork for the Second, with the slogan:

“Free Palestine from the river to the sea.”
Instead of condemning attacks on civilians, these lessons teach children to frame those attacks as part of a righteous struggle. That’s not education. That’s radicalization in the classroom.

They rewrite history to erase context.

•No mention of Hamas’s charter.

•No mention of terrorism against Jews before 1948.

•No acknowledgment of peace offers rejected.

Only a constant drumbeat of **“settler colonialism” and resistance by any means.”

🧵 THREAD: The NGOs Behind the “Israel Genocide” Accusation — Who They Are, Who Funds Them, and How Deep the Bias Runs
In August 2025, the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) declared Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide.” But the evidence? It comes from a small network of heavily biased NGOs. Let’s unpack them one by one. 🔽
1️⃣ Who did IAGS cite as proof?
In its resolution, IAGS cited these 7 organizations:

•Amnesty International
•Human Rights Watch (HRW)
•Forensic Architecture (FA)
•DAWN (Democracy for the Arab World Now)
•B’Tselem (Israeli)
•Physicians for Human Rights–Israel (PHRI)
•UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese

Each claims to be independent.

Each has serious credibility issues.
2️⃣ Amnesty International

✅ Called Israel an “apartheid state” (2022)

✅ Declared Israel is committing genocide (2024)

🚩 Criticized for legal sloppiness and selective use of quotes, ignoring Hamas war crimes

🚩 Faced backlash from its own Israel office, which was suspended in 2025 for opposing Amnesty’s Gaza stance

📌 Bottom line: Amnesty’s framing aligns with far-left, decolonial discourse.

🧵The Democratic Socialists of America and their explicit ties to Cuba actually pose a national security threat to America.

It is more than just a radical organization that promotes far left and insane ideology. Their extensive ties to Cuba facilitate potential foreign influence operations and espionage by not only them but by the CCP inside the United States.

Read this thread and ask yourself if perhaps this is the reason communism seems to be spreading amongst the younger generations in America.
What DSA is doing by its own documents:

Platform & program

- The DSA’s adopted platform commits the group to “support normalization of relations with Cuba”, to “stop using economic and financial sanctions to punish other countries, such as Cuba”, to “immediately withdraw from NATO”, and to “abolish USAID, NED, [and] Voice of America.”

- Those planks are not stray tweets; they are the organization’s governing platform.

Named Cuba campaign

- The DSA International Committee runs a live campaign—“Diplomacy, Not FORCE”—explicitly aimed at defeating the FORCE Act (H.R. 450), removing Cuba from the SSOT list, and lifting embargo/travel restrictions.

- The campaign provides letter‑writing tools and talking points to pressure Congress.

Delegations & electeds

- DSA advertises that it “helps organize and promote delegations to Cuba, where activists, organizers, and elected officials” can observe and return to advocate for policy change.

- In September 2022, DSA sent its first official healthcare delegation to Cuba, meeting hospital staff and BioCubaFarma while observing the “Families Code” referendum.
Coalitions that amplify the push

•DSA’s International Committee is listed as a member of ACERE (Alliance for Cuba Engagement and Respect). ACERE has marshaled letters from elected officials and labor leaders urging the White House to remove Cuba from SSOT and ease sanctions.

•DSA is also listed as a member of the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), the long‑standing national solidarity coalition.

Municipal & state pressure.

-This coalition strategy has delivered city‑council resolutions in major metros. In New York City, the Council adopted Resolution 285‑A (June 22, 2023) urging an end to the embargo/travel ban and removal of Cuba from the SSOT list; a follow‑on resolution was re‑introduced in May 2025. NYC‑DSA publicly celebrated the 2023 passage as a DSA‑backed victory. Chicago passed a similar resolution in 2021, part of a national template DSA chapters are told to reproduce.

Scale matters

- DSA describes itself as the largest socialist organization in the United States (≈85,000 members), giving its national campaigns real mobilization capacity around sanctions, delegations, and city‑level actions.
