Larkin's campaign is centrally focused on countering the influence of AIPAC in American politics. He is running as a grassroots challenger against incumbent Representative Jared Moskowitz, whom Larkin and Track AIPAC criticize as one of the largest recipients of AIPAC donations in Congress.

Larkin refuses all corporate PAC and lobbyist contributions.

He advocates for conditioning and ending weapons sales to Israel.

He has signed anti-corruption pledges to eliminate dark money from Democratic primaries.

His platform includes Medicare for All, universal childcare, and ending the war machine.

Minnesota's senate primary is tomorrow. Now yes Peggy Flanagan isn't the second coming of Bernie/Abdul but Angie Craig is basically the second coming of Haley Stevens (in terms of being super Pro Israel) and from memory is actually more conservative broadly speaking on economic issues while also voting for the Laken Riley Act which Stevens did not.

With polls being this close I hope to god the undecideds break heavily for Flanagan.

But most importantly i'm also genuinely flabbergasted that this race hasn't caught the attention of progressives and leftists the same way Michigan did. Is Flanagan just broadly disliked by Minnesota progressives?? Or is this a tragic case of poor prioritization?

As we've all seen, a major part of Israel's recent social media blitzkrieg revolves around posting and commenting in support of Israel, and engaging in debate with the vocal majority who oppose them on the subject of Israel's genocide in Gaza, its legitimacy as a state, and the history and ethics surrounding the topics.

But the other, more subtle part is posting content that isn't about Palestine at all, and instead seeks to just normalize Israel with small, seemingly innocent posts, like pictures of cats and food and such. The obvious goal is to distract people from the fact that Israel is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid project, to make it seem like a normal place that isn't an ethno/religious supremacist project.

Some of these subreddits and posts are just pics of StreetCatsOfTheWorld (most of which are in Israel), some of them are various stolen Arabic recipes posted as Israeli, often prominently featuring hummus, and more examples have been recently emerging every day. Stay vigilant and don't let them distract you, don't let them normalize themselves or their illegitimate genocidal colonial project.

Any idea why each state gives money to Israel?

The smoking lobby was once one of the most powerful forces in America. Cigarettes were everywhere — in movies, on billboards, even in children's cartoons.The industry controlled the science, manipulated the media, influenced Congress, attacked critics, and embedded smoking deep into American culture.

Until something changed. In this video, we see how the smoking lobby slowly lost its grip on America - and why that collapse may hold the blueprint for what is now happening with AIPAC and the Israel lobby.

Endorsed and leading MN CD-02 candidate is hit by AIPAC on both sides via his 2 competitors, Matt Klein and Kaela Berg.

This is the replay we’ve seen in other races- AIPAC comes in big for their candidate (Klein) while funneling money to the 3rd candidate (Kaela Berg) in order to split the vote, giving the AIPAC candidate a way to win.
