The story of Marie Perez is a lesson in where a “Vote Blue No Matter Who” approach takes you. When you uncritically support Democrats regardless of policy, you end up ratcheting to the right, election after election, off the cliff into fascism.

This by @gluesenkampperez.house.gov may be the most cynical and shameless example of "weaponizing identity politics" that I have ever read.

Initially, Perez spun a convincing Democratic rebrand, one that was perceived as an honest departure from politics as usual and resonated with the working class. Now, she has proven to be just another example of the kind of politics we need to get rid of. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-bet...

The representative from Washington has been hailed as the future of Democratic politics. But for those of us who actually live in her district, she’s just more of the same.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is a troubling example of what we'll see more of from Dems as they scramble to retain popular support: superficial "populist"/working class aesthetics combined with the same old pro-corporate, pro-Israel policies. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-bet...

In addition, call the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv (011-972-2-630-4000, TelAvivACS@state.gov), the job of which is to protect Americans abroad, to demand that they secure the safe release of U.S. flotilla members immediately.

Call your representatives and demand they take a public stand in favor of the flotilla activists and against Israel’s illegal interception. Here's a sample script.
