If you only work with morally perfect people, your political movement will be so tiny it can't accomplish anything.

Some were under GOP rule for decades. Others switched recently. Let them suffer the consequences and come crawling back in the midterms.

I think that, for a time, passivity is the best thing that Democrats can do. Let people experience unfiltered Republican rule.

They forgot why Trump was bad in 2024. Give them a reminder.

ICE is shooting and murdering people. With real bullets. From real guns. If you think they only use rubber bullets or paintballs, no—they are using real guns with real bullets #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

So he's basically a centrist. Israel has the right to exist but should give up some of the land it took.

That's basically the position of every President before Trump.

Yes.

I also know that distinction is irrelevant to lawyers.

God I can't wait for Mamdani to finally take office.

I can't wait for him to disappoint you when he actually has to start governing.

He'll be the Obama of Gen Z.

They're not cops. Just agents of the government enforcing certain laws. Totally different.

Here's an idea: Go work for your District Attorney's office. I'm sure you'll never get a case that conflicts with your personal ideology.

OK. Go join your District Attorney's office. I'm sure you'll never get a case that conflicts with your personal ideology.

State and city government lawyers all ultimately work for the Attorney General. Y'know, the position Kamala was demonized for holding?

Doesn't matter what type of lawyer you are. You can't be on the right side all the time.

At least 5 of the Democrats running for that Congressional seat—including a school board member, a mayor, & 2 state senators—have been on the neighborhood streets doing rapid response, and/or have been assaulted by ICE at Broadview

Uninformed cynicism is a toxin. Please don’t spread it.

If you are buying silly costumes and whistles to help stop our country from sliding into fascism: congratulations on doing more than our elected Democratic congresspeople!

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · 13h

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.
