In the last few days I'm seeing way more "regular" people getting fed up with the slow roll Pelosi has been doing with the impeachment on social media which before was more the domain of "woke twitter." With Barr basically making the Mueller report a non factor she's lost her ability to point to some neutral systemic third party that was going to give the Democrats permission (or put the kibosh on it totally) so it's on her to actually lead on this. Trump calling for his subordinates to do illegal things in exchange for pardons and stoking his crazed followers on Omar isn't making her "we can't be bothered" comment regarding the impeachment look any better.

Also when a bunch of prominent Democrats (oddly not Schumer, Hoyer, or her) are calling out these attacks for what they are and using Omar's name it's making Pelosi and her poo poo statement about disrespecting 9/11 even more craven.

I think saying joining the military being a mistake is a pretty broad brushstroke. If you're referring to the top level point of military industrialization being bad and joining keeps that going than okay, but believe it or not a lot of people come out way better than they go in. Of course an actual jobs program or living wages or universal healthcare would all be better options.

That being said a lot of it is gross, especially when you see senators and congressman recoil at the thought of putting their kids in the military, or seeing privileged people join explicitly to get the checkmark, but they join an officer's corp in the reserves or guard, and do a deployment filing paperwork.


Conservatives wont care and will still treat transgendered people terribly. They want them out for the same reason they didnt want women, minorities, and gay people in. They're otherized and wanted to keep their good ole boys club. Every time another minority is included its change for them, which is uncomfortable.

I wonder how much of this could've been averted if the dems stood up for her a few weeks ago with the AIPAC comments. Of course there would still be republicans that would be smearing a black muslim woman all the time, but it's possible it might have been limited to a few shitheads if dem "leaders" and "respectable" talking heads hadn't legitimized an obvious racist trap.

I wanted to believe that the likes of Pelosi and Schumer were just old and too decorum-y for their own good, but it's pretty apparent now that they just agree with the republicans outright.

And where's Chelsea Clinton at for this one?

Listen, Hindenburg is a hero and von Papen is a serious politician. They just don't want to rock the boat by calling out this Hitler fellow. All their wealthy, powerful friends who are just like them agree. All this "Nazi" stuff is just business as usual. All this will blow over, and we wouldn't want anyone upset with us after this brief period of totally normal politics as usual. I mean, some of this IS highly unusual, but, I'm pretty sure this is as far as it will go. After all, Herr Hitler is a politician too!

I'm normally a nominal Pelosi fan but holy poo poo. Read a loving history book already, members of the U.S. government.

In a weird way that will help the charitable social activist organizations setup to help these folks because they'd be able to concentrate their outreach in specific big cities with infrastructure, not spread out all over God knows where at some Greyhound station in El Paso like now.

I feel like Islamophobia is the least self examined prejudice among Dems and even online leftists. Through one avenue or another it's an enormous widespread sin in this country (and really the west in general).

This kind of unexamined prejudice gets particularly exacerbated whenever there is an actual tension between Islam and the Left. The twitter left is simultaneously capable of downplaying Iran's theocratic issues (because they oppose America) while simultaneously holding the position that everyone fighting the USSR in Afghanistan was Al-Qaeda (or some other kind of "Fundamentalist Islamist") or that the PRC Muslims were "asking for it". Its Shrodinger's Muslim: a hero when opposing American/British imperialist norms and a villain when opposing Soviet/PRC imperialist norms.
