After AOC’s shift on her public stance on sending aid to Israel’s Iron Dome, every side took credit for the change. But what really causes DSA electeds to change their minds?

There is a lot of talk about re-appointment of city officials, so I wanted to talk about it. I voted against re-appointing Public Safety Commissioner Barnette because I take my role of oversight seriously, and we deserve leaders who are tracking and being responsible with taxpayer dollars.
Real chapter democracy rests on voting accessibility for every key decision and every leader in the organization. Every member should get a say, no exceptions.
Really sad to learn about the passing of Dave Bicking this morning. He was a longtime advocate for police accountability in Minneapolis. I hope someone writes a deep retrospective of his work and the systemic changes he championed over the decades. www.caringbridge.org/site/public/...
Clearly the best choice for Hennepin County Attorney

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

How does your common sense political mind respond to this? Give MPD more money? Trust them to protect you? or say, why in hell are we paying for this raggedy shit? Why dont we demand a whole universe of different and what we deserve?
every single time it gets laid bare for you, every single time you have a choice, to retreat into copaganda and cop hagiography (that you know to be false,) every single time you have a choice to move on from here when it is finally enough already.
