Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not seek reelection

Reply in thread

She was certainly better than Mitch McConnell, but in addition to being there too long, she enriched herself by hundreds of millions of dollars with insider trading - making her corrupt like Donald Trump, he is just doing it more by several orders of magnitude.

Also, she could have pushed for more progressive reforms, but she didn't, she was/is a corporate Democrat. She knew who she was accepting donations from.

💯 the default assumption of the media is that these Israelis are relatable humans and this is a tragedy... But what is happening in Gaza is somehow morally ambiguous.

Maybe one could argue the sheer scale of the Gaza genocide makes it difficult for the media to humanize them, so they get reduced to just a number of fatalities with lots of digits. But if the media default was that the Palestinian lives had value they would look through the lives lost like those in 9-11 and tell their stories.
