Progressive social media sensation #Kat #Abughazaleh released a video Monday that kicked off her bid to unseat Democratic Rep. #Jan #Schakowsky of Illinois.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk are dismantling our country piece by piece,
and so many Democrats seem content to just sit back and let them,”
Abughazaleh says in the video.
“So I say it’s time to drop the excuses and grow a f***ing spine.”
After graduating from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with a degree in international security,
Abughazaleh, 26, took a job with the left-leaning watchdog group Media Matters before being hired by Mother Jones in 2024.
She is best known for videos in which she derides Fox News and conservative personalities. On TikTok, she has over 217,000 followers, and nearly 200,000 more on X, and some of her videos have received more than 1 million views.
Every Musk apologist who’s made some version of “look you might not like the guy but you gotta admit — he made cars and rockets!” needs to reckon with the fact that his sole product has always been hype.
@Adventurer Pay attention to this app. Locate where you are to see if any evacuation orders are in place. It refreshes in real time. You can follow all of the fires there. The closest big one to you is the Eaton Fire, I think.
The fascists are f—ing scared, they are burning BALLOTS
Me: [Looking at phone] Oh that's interesting. Scientists believe that fruits make special connections with each other and get 'married'
Wife: Wow, that's incredible
Me: Hmm, except melons. Melons don't do that.
Wife: That's odd...why not?
Me: Because they cantaloupe 😅
Wife: 🤦🏽♀️ I can't believe I walked into that
