House Democrat calls Trump's Maduro capture 'welcome news' as left labels it 'illegal'
Most Democrats are blasting the Trump administration after the U.S. conducted an operation to capture Venezuela's leader, NicolΓ‘s Maduro.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Maduro's capture "welcome news" but criticized Trump for "apparently failing to notify Congress beforehand".
This is the neoliberal position in a nutshell: Substantively fine with regime change and imperial power projection, just mad about process.

The effect of this sort of rhetoric is going to be that an entire generation, on both left and right, thinks antisemitism is not a legitimate issue but simply a cudgel to wield in political arguments against one's opponents. This sort of rhetoric makes Diaspora Jews less safe.

Some Democrats are far too willing to keep ice around given everything that's happened.
To quote a something awful poster
"if both parties support the death camp you have to vote for the candidate that has a better policy on pell grant recipients living in a neighborhood < 150% of the FPL"

I canβt get over the NYTβs unwillingness to acknowledge that this is not a βfight over bigotryβ in the GOP! Itβs a fight over whether there should be any veneer or βpoliteβ pretexts at all.
Similar to NYT couching corruption as potential ethical concerns (though the fake bigotry fight is 10x worse)

Have to highlight the absurdity in a public discourse that holds the idea of systemic racism out as exotic and academic while also reporting that one of the two major parties in the country is making racism an explicit central pillar of their party identity.

reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldnβt get over how much people smoked indoors. βwouldnβt everything smell bad?β they asked
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.
