Director of Policy for ACLU of AZ. Views are 100% my own. Maybe they'll be yours one day too.
I talk AZ politics, national politics, Chicago sports, music, 90 day fiance, and the endless void.

I read this, and I'm not sure if the author is completely naive or dishonest. UATX ultimate goals were clear, as is the goal of the attacks on DEI and wokeness.
Perhaps she should check her own intellectual biases bc the truth about UATX isn't exactly a secret.

The empathetic messaging to white bigots really turns off black voters. Many leftist can't accept that black voters may actually be responding to Bernie's message - they aren't drones or idiots. Bernie's refusal to articulate racism as a force independent of class rubs black voters the wrong way.

They've all coalesced around the strategy of offering us nothing and then saying if we don't vote for them then it's our fault Republicans do bad things

Yeah, I'll be blocking all of the Willstans calling me a moron for pointing out minorities are already being detained and sent to camps. We can talk scale without name-calling. I'd argue that sending ppl to camps is already having the desired effect of chilling speech broadly in academia on Israel.

Will. What are you talking about? Multiple students have been disappeared because of their speech. Are you saying it doesn't count bc they were on Visas or green card holders?

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

Dems could filibuster everything. They could refuse to work together on a bipartisan basis. They could deny all unanimous consent request. Pull every lever in their power.

I mean you're making my point. Liberals and leftist are debating a book with a vague set of policy proposals. It's just a distraction.

Project 2025 isn't a book. It's a serious set of policies borrowed from various conservatives and debated internally before being stealth presented to the public. The abundance agenda is a book 99% of Dem POLA won't read. It comes with no vetting. It's designed to sale books, not make policy.

So when you said "what can Dems do?" you really meant i don't like the options presented.
Dem AGs can use the courts. Dems in Congress want you to believe they are powerless when they are not.

Well there was a huge opportunity last week to force Republicans to the table but Chuck folded.
Beyond that members of Congress should prioritize oversight and ending executive law breaking before working with any Republicans. Instead they are working on bipartisan legislation.
