Schumer's statement never identifies what the "it" is that he is calling for a vote on, or what the "yes" vote that he's calling for would signify. Aside from everything else, the man's comms operation is just preposterously incompetent.

One thing the Dem establishment never really got over was the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the 2008 nomination because she supported the Iraq War. Denial and anger followed rather than learning from that decision.

Think about how much credulous mainstream coverage Lonsdale's University of Austin project got. Do you think that they just didn't know he was a gutter racist? Promoting racist views was one of the points of the project

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to high-info voters. The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

Can we repeal the post-9/11 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force that is inevitably what they twisted into serving as the justification for bombing a separate country that had nothing to do with 9/11 YET AGAIN yet?

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

Certain activists fought market-rate housing in the Mission, arguing 100% affordable housing was the only option. 2 Mission orgs then proposed 100% affordable housing & the same activists are now fighting it. It’s never been about “affordable housing.” It’s always been about straight-up NIMBYism.

Fundamentally, American media culture places more prestige on being wrong cleverly than being right simply. They’ll spend 50,000 words sucking off a Nazi with a polysyllabic vocabulary before they interview the nice lady who volunteers at the animal shelter because she likes dogs.
