🧵 Something important to note about Cory Archibald, co-founder of Track AIPAC: she lives in Germany which has strict laws about antisemitic speech, specifically when it comes to Holocaust inversion which is in itself a form of Holocaust denial (1/x)
It appears Cory uses a VPN to look like she's posting in the U.S. perhaps because she's aware of the legal and civil problems she'd potentially run afoul of with Section 130 of the German Criminal code which deals with Volksverhetzung (Incitement to Hatred/Mass Incitement)
(2/x)
The German government has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and their working definition of antisemitism which says that "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis" is an example of antisemitism
(4/x)
German courts also ruled that comparing contemporary political situations to the systematic murder of six million Jews can constitute "grossly downplaying" the Holocaust, which is considered a crime. And here's why that's potentially a huge problem for Cory & Track AIPAC...

Track AIPAC regularly refers to people as "Nazis" and accuses them of conducting another Holocaust. Here they are targeting @RepDonBacon (6/x)
Here is Track AIPAC accusing @SenSchumer @RosenforNevada @JakeAuch all Jewish members of Congress of conducting a Holocaust: (7/x)
Here is Track AIPAC attacking @RepPettersen whose husband is the grandson of Holocaust survivors, of conducting a Holocaust: (8/x)
In these posts, Track AIPAC is referring to Israeli PM Netanyahu of being a "modern day Hitler": (9/x)
And here is Track AIPAC posting about Israel committing a Holocaust: (10/x)
There are countless other examples on their TL. Now, this is potentially a legal problem for Cory Archibald whether she contributed to these posts directly or materially supported them with with resources in Germany...

BIG🧵Here's my story about Kat Abughazaleh, who’s running to represent IL-09: it appears she deleted several controversial tweets shortly after launching her congressional campaign in an attempt to hide them, however they were still searchable under a redirect account she set up.
This redirect account, ostensibly named after her cat “Heater” was Kat’s old username @abughazalehkat that she used to announce her run for IL-09 on March 24, 2025
As you can see in this video, which was captured a month after Kat officially announced her run, searching for certain words on her campaign account yielded no results. However, a search on the redirect account brings them up.
🧵 “Not progressive enough” is a trap Democrats shouldn’t fall for bc it’s spoken by people who will never vote for or support them no matter what they do.
It’s really code for something else.
- Obama gave us healthcare & rescued the U.S. auto industry (yes, the working class the far left LOVES to claim Dems ignore)
And how does the far left talk about him? He’s a failure bc he didn’t go far enough (ignoring the reality of congress) and he might as well have been Bush
- Biden made one of the biggest infrastructure investments in the country in history, pouring money into projects that would put people to work, saved the Teamsters’ pension fund and did as much as he could to cancel out student debt.
🧵 Disingenuous voices love to point to footage of violence/looting/fires during protests and want to paint the whole movement or Democrats w/that broad brush.
Having covered lots of protests, let’s break down the 3 groups that generally show up to these events:
1. The sincere people & voices who are largely peaceful. Yes, you can be angry and peaceful. They represent the majority of protesters like we’re seeing this week in DTLA, what we saw in Minneapolis/St. Paul after the George Floyd murder
2a. Then you have the anarchist/far-left chaos agents who show up & are usually the ones who start throwing things at police, tagging buildings, engaging in property destruction bc they think it will spark a “revolution”
🧵 My reactions to some key pieces of the WaPo story about Trump voting residents of New Castle, PA who rely on programs like social security and food stamps:
Single mom Lori Mosura who relies on social security & food stamps says she drifted away from Dems over rising grocery prices, nevermind the fact that Republicans have tried to slash programs that keep her housed & fed. And she thinks the GOP would want corps to make less money?
Mosura claims Trump is attuned to the needs of everybody, not just the rich. I think we know this sounds like SOMETHING ELSE.
Kamala worked at McDonald’s to put herself through school, worked as a prosecutor helping all kinds of people.
Trump has never worked a day in his life

I believe it’s important to bear witness. Last night, I went to the new Nova Music Festival exhibit “We Will Dance Again” as part of the Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance. (1/x)
Near the end of the exhibit is a table of shoes left behind by Nova attendees who were killed and and it of course is reminiscent of the display of shoes at the Holocaust museum.
And it struck me with both displays how Jews constantly have to prove their trauma to the world. (2/x
Pictures of those killed on 10/7 at the Nova festival and messages written commemorating them. (3/x)
Coffee thoughts on polling: (branding a new segment: tweets while I finish my 2nd morning iced coffee)
- For the last two years (at least) we have seen that polling has been WIDELY OFF from actual results. Why?
Part of it is methodology: sample size and sample demographic (1/x)
- How many people have landlines? How many people are willing to pick up a call from an unknown number and say "Why yes! Thank you for the interruption, I certainly have 5-10 minutes to answer your survey questions!" (2/x)
- Questions don't have to be leading to get a skewed response. Even if you ask someone on the street "What do you think of the economy?" their natural inclination is to think there must be something wrong with it because you are asking the question. So answers trend negative (3/x
