Senator Sanders is right.
And also worth considering who else got it wrong in 2002 by voting for the Iraq AUMF—including in current Democratic leadership.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

A mob of Hasidic men in Brooklyn chase down a woman who came to protest Ben-Gvir.
This sort of reaction has become normalized in NYC and LA, where violence against protestors has spiked enormously since October 7th.
This largely isn't covered or addressed by media, despite how widespread it is.

Musk has poured over $18M into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
He’s adding $100M+ to Trump’s PAC - for the WH Tesla commercial, top level access, security clearances and other perks.
He’ll continue to buy elections and reshape the government to best serve his agenda.

Trump’s attack on Schumer is antisemitic and racist. He’s policing Jewish identity, invoking the dual loyalty trope, and implying Palestinians are inherently evil. This is dangerous incitement.
Jewish groups must say it clearly: the President is spreading hate and weaponizing antisemitism.

I'm seeing a significant Palestinian pushback against PACBI's decision to call for boycott on "No Other Land".
It's for Palestinians to decide who they want to work with and whom they want to boycott.
If you're not Palestinian you should be aware that there's no consensus here.
