Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said that anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party has gotten so bad, she is refusing to attend the national convention out of fears for her personal safety.

Nessel, who is Jewish, said she’s already faced anti-Semitic harassment and expects it to be far worse at the convention in August.

‘People aren’t interested in the fact that, you know, that I’m gay. They’re not interested in the fact that I’m a woman. They are very interested in the fact that I’m Jewish.’

“I feel like my presence isn’t going to be welcome. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed,” Nessel said at an anti-Semitism forum on Thursday.

“I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage, irrespective of what I’m saying,” she added.

She went on to criticize the Democratic Party of Michigan for looking the other way regarding threats she’s received.

“The threats that I receive are almost exclusively anti-Semitic threats,” Nessel continued. “People aren’t interested in the fact that, you know, that I’m gay. They’re not interested in the fact that I’m a woman. They are very interested in the fact that I’m Jewish.”

Nessel had been forced to drop felony charges against some students arrested at a pro-Palestine UM student encampment in 2024. She blamed the “circus-like” atmosphere surrounding the case that included accusations of bias against her.

“It’s just been getting worse and worse. And worse,” she added. “And I have profound fears about what is going to happen to this state and what is going to happen to this country if we don’t have a significant change of course in what’s going on and we don’t do a better job of educating people about it and we don’t do a better job of holding people accountable.”

A handful of Democrats have been sounding the alarm about extremist politicians winning primary elections against more establishment candidates. Some Democrats are threatening to leave the party if it continues to veer into extremism related to anti-Semitism as well as communist economic policies.

Derrick Honeyman, the spokesperson for the Michigan Democratic Party, said they were focused on “ensuring party-hosted events are safe and secure environments” for the attendees of the convention.

“We reject anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of hateful conduct,” he added. “We are working diligently with stakeholders, elected officials, and party membership to prepare for our August convention and look forward to welcoming Michigan Democrats to the Lansing Center on August 29.”

In an interview on the “Relentless” podcast last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared that we are now “in the singularity.”

Altman was pleased, adding, “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life, and I think it’s going to be incredible, hugely positive, awesome for the world.”

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck doesn’t share his excitement.

“That comes from terminology about a black hole. You get to the point of singularity. It means you’re now in the gravitational pull of the black hole and that you’re past the point of return. You cannot reverse the engines. You are going into the black hole,” he says.

“We are there. So now what do we do?” he asks.

The first thing that needs to be done, he says, is “make sure that China doesn’t control” the outcome of AI.

“Let’s make sure that it’s not evil immediately because it’s a surveillance tool for China,” he says.

The second point of action is negotiating.

“Your town must negotiate hard for you,” he says, using data centers as an example.

“If they want to build in your town, you have two choices. You can say no or you can say no unless, unless we have no more property tax, unless you’re paying for 20% of everybody’s electricity,” he says.

“You negotiate like hell, and you ask for the moon and the stars,” he continues.

“And it should not be done in the darkness. This should never come to a community where the community hasn’t had an open discussion and a vote,” he adds.

A violent encampment that included dozens of homeless people was dismantled by order of the Democratic mayor, who sounded very sorrowful and reluctant about the decision.

The encampment was ostensibly out of protest against law enforcement after Corey Ruiz, a black man, was shot and killed by officers last month in Madison, Wisconsin.

‘Multiple efforts and calls to end the occupation peacefully were made but ultimately ignored.’

Video from the lethal incident showed several police officers struggling to control Ruiz before one yells, “He’s got a knife!” and another shoots him several times. One officer was injured by Ruiz with the knife, according to the police chief.

Protesters called for “justice for Corey” despite the evidence that the shooting was justified by his alleged actions.

On Tuesday, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway released a video explaining that the protesters had gotten violent and set fires in the encampment at the intersection of Williamson and Baldwin streets.

“For nearly two weeks, I and city staff have been working day and night to peacefully resolve the occupation of Williamson and Baldwin without law enforcement intervention,” she said. “The city has committed to maintaining space for members of the community to gather and grieve, and we stand ready to do that work in collaboration with the family and the community.”

She went on to say protesters got violent when the city began to clear out the encampment.

“Unfortunately, as city staff cleared the area, rocks and other items were thrown at city employees and two fires were set,” she continued. “As a result, law enforcement was called in to stabilize the scene, and a small number of individuals were arrested. Again, multiple efforts and calls to end the occupation peacefully were made but ultimately ignored.”

She added that about 50 “unsheltered” people at the encampment were offered hotel rooms and transportation to the rooms with “as much compassion as possible.”

Despite her attempts to appease the far-left protesters, more demonstrations sprung up after the mayor ordered the encampment cleared out. One video from the New York Post shows protesters screaming and threatening people trying to drive through the intersection.

“Even one community member killed during interactions with the police is too many,” Rhodes-Conway concluded. “The grief, anger, and frustration are real, and I feel it too.”

A Democrat who had warned his party against alienating voters with the transgender agenda appears to have completely turned his back on that previous sage advice.

During a debate with incumbent Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) for the Senate nomination of his party on Monday, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) apologized to the transgender community for his previous comments.

Markey fired back by characterizing Moulton’s comments as tossing transgender kids under the bus and using the MAGA ‘playbook’ against them.

“I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that,” said Moulton after the 2024 election.

On Monday, Moulton was challenged about his comments during a debate with Markey.

“To the trans community feeling the weight and the pain of the Trump administration policies, I deeply recognize your trauma. And I’m sorry if my comments hurt you. That was not my intention,” said Moulton.

“I am a proud co-sponsor of the Transgender Bill of Rights, a proud repeat co-sponsor of the Equality Act, and I have a 100% voting record with the Human Rights Campaign,” he added. “If you’re in the trans community or you’re a trans kid feeling the weight of the Trump administration and the Supreme Court, you matter, you’re valued, and I will always have your back.”

He then went on to attack Markey for voting 61 times for Trump administration nominees whom Moulton described as anti-transgender.

Markey fired back by characterizing Moulton’s comments as tossing trans-identifying kids under the bus and using the MAGA “playbook” against them.

“We should have been loving those kids,” Markey said.

“We should have been embracing them.”

Video of the comments was widely circulated on social media.

Moulton faced immediate backlash over his transgender comments in 2024, including some protests outside of his office and the resignation of a top aide.

He later reiterated his point while allowing that he may have been unartful about his choice of wording.

“Look, I was just speaking authentically as a parent about one of many issues where Democrats are just out of touch with the majority of Americans,” said Moulton at the time. “And I stand by my position, even though I may not have used exactly the right words.”

The entire debate on Monday between the two Massachusetts Democrats can be viewed on the WFXT-TV YouTube channel. The Massachusetts primary election is September 1.
