UPDATE: Devastating news. This dangerous bill passed 213-212, with @RepAOC @RashidaTlaib and @JamaalBowmanNY abandoning their positions and voting "present" instead of against it, thus supporting giving cops more money and weapons to use against the most vulnerable people.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) May 20, 2021
One vote. One fucking vote. Unbelievable. The first time maybe ever that the "squad" had some power and could have actually done some material good and they chickened the fuck out.
I mean for fucks sake, wasn't Tlaib openly calling for abolishing the police a month ago?
Tea Party was a thorn in the side of the GOP for the last decade, often to the point of seeming counterproductive to their stated end goals. All for the sake of caucus discipline and loyalty to their ideology.
It's annoying as hell to see Succs sell off their professed views in pursuit of... what? A pat on the head from Nancy? No Teabagger ever pinned for John Boehner's approval.
