Jeremy Schulman @jeremyschulman.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Obviously, there are some free-market ideologues for whom the concept of "housing as a human right" is indeed nightmarish. And I guess that's what we're supposed to think about the Hillbilly Elegy-reading voter. But probably for her, the nightmare is totalitarian activists who won't leave her alone. 020
Jeremy Schulman @jeremyschulman.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Even at the end of the ad — when the voter wakes up from the satirical dream sequence — the real congressional candidate and the "leftist demon" from the nightmare are literally poking their heads in the door uninvited to "talk to you about housing as a human right" 150

Jeremy Schulman @jeremyschulman.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I think the problem here is broader, though. There's currently a massive, cross-ideological backlash against the techno-surveillance state. This ad suggests that rather than fight back against tech intrusion into the private sphere, DSA intends to harness it for progressive policy goals. 170
Reposted by Jeremy SchulmanCharles Gaba ✡️ @charlesgaba.com · 13/10/2026One of the biggest criticisms normie Dems/liberals have about leftists is that we generally agree with most of their *policy goals* but their tactics/style tends to be incredibly aggressive & off-putting.

Jeremy Schulman @jeremyschulman.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I'm willing to accept that "Kosher-style" would be misleading in a way that might be a legitimate consumer-protection issue. But "Jewish"? NAL, but that seems to violate multiple parts of the First Amendment. 110

Jeremy Schulman @jeremyschulman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah, I agree that a better statement would not have been imbalanced like that. But I think part of my reaction is that I no longer disagree with much of what he wrote there, so I'm just not inclined to agonize too much about the structure, or even the timing, of what he wrote. 010

Jeremy Schulman @jeremyschulman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's not the statement I would write. However, there is a very clear effort in other parts of the anti-Israel activist community to justify or even celebrate 10/7. Mamdani is by far the most prominent Israel critic in US elected office, and his statement very strongly rejects 10/7 glorification. 100

Jeremy Schulman @jeremyschulman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A Democratic senator (currently running for governor) personally figured out this mystery in real time, debunked Schmitt's claim, and humiliated him. And the DNC apparently thinks it'll be more viral to attribute her work to Fox News. 132
