When Emanuel was being considered for Biden’s cabinet, I wrote a thread on why he’s a vile choice for anything. I’m reposting it here for anyone who doesn’t know his history. 🧵 Emanuel served as Obama's first Chief of Staff. He was also House Democratic leader in 2006.

HASAN: “ @davidhogg.bsky.social compares AIPAC to the NRA. Great take. Saying it on CNN is excellent. It’s true. They’re both funded by MAGA billionaires heavily invested in subverting 🇺🇸 democracy… anyone saying the 2028 Dem nominee will support funding 🇮🇱 is oblivious.”

The Secret Service officer was wearing a bulletproof vest, but sources say investigators haven’t found the fragment that pierced it — and can’t definitively say whether it came from the suspect.

DO name specific villains, creating a large “us” and a small “them.” 
“MAGA regime/Trump regime”
“Iranian government/Iranian military”
“Israeli government/Israeli military/Netanyahu”

DON’T use “Iran,” “Israel” or “America” to shorthand a government, military or ruling faction. Specify the leadership is responsible for these atrocities and the war, not the people who live in these countries.

DO call for Congress to pass the resolutions already in the House and Senate to end this war.

DON’T call the act the “War Powers Act,” despite this being the official name. To laypeople this makes it seem as though we seek for Congress to declare war, instead of end it.

DO emphasize outcomes - how this threatens the lives of everyday people around the world and the safety of our families here at home. We need Congress to end the war, not to authorize it. 

DON’T emphasize process - how Trump violated the Constitution by bypassing Congress. Our goal is to have Congress stop the war, not have it proceed under an officially approved process. 

DO call this action by Trump “criminal.”

DON’T call this action “illegal.” It is illegal to speed, it is criminal to murder. Our arguments should focus on life and liberty for all people.

DOs and DON’Ts
DO call this out for the evil it is and connect it to other harms of the regime: “From Epstein to ICE to Iran, this regime commits crimes against humanity.”
DON’T talk about this as a “distraction,” as it belittles the horrific human toll. Further, messaging about messaging isn’t persuasive. 
DO make clear the horrific human toll: “This regime is killing people for power and profit.” 
DO, especially if you are a messenger credible to conflicted Trump voters, emphasize this is a betrayal of what Americans want and need. 
DON’T rely on hypocrisy arguments such as “Trump ran promising peace but is dragging us to war.” This credits the previous statement and implies what’s wrong here is inconsistency instead of evil. 
DO, when speaking specifically of the lies peddled about Iran’s involvement in the election, remind Americans that “this regime/Trump wants to control the outcome of the election.” 
DON’T repeat Trump’s lies about “election fraud” in an earnest effort to rebuff them. 
DO call this war “Trump’s war”  
DON’T call this war “America’s war” or simply “war.”
DO say “war on Iran”
DON’T say “war with Iran,” which implies a mutual back and forth.

While the leaders of this - Trump, Vance, Miller, Homan, Noem - will all face trial for crimes against humanity, so will the agents on the ground and in the concentration camps. If they don’t want to face long prison terms themselves, they should refuse illegal orders like these.
