Twice the Democratic candidate for Kansas House District 67 in Manhattan, home to K-State. On Nov 5th, I was an enormously successful loser: My loss has meaning; her win is empty.

Last Tuesday, Nov 5th, democracy walked out on me, leaving me at the alter.

I had worked hard at our relationship for the last three years, since summer of 2022. I thought my hard work, honesty, values system, messaging, intelligence, and ability to reason with voters would mean something.

Just saw the ICE recruitment commercial on CBS during NFL Today.

Barf.

I heard they’re also to blame for recording the DNC in 1972.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

In an effort to momentarily distract you from the Trump Administration’s dismantling of democracy and its murderous agenda…

Which is funny because, you know, a lot of those countries have… kings.

That’s how much they hate Donald Trump!

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

State troopers are paid and controlled by the Governor and legislature.

It’s time for Pritzker to yank the funding of State Troopers in IL to do any activity in support of ICE.

Why the hell is any state entity working with ICE?

“They literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.”

This is 100% an accurate description of how this started.

Broadview PD mishandled the situation from the start, then unleashed ISP to beat the protesters they’d led into the street.

State Police Led Broadview Protesters Into Street, Then Attacked Them, Demonstrators Say

Protesters have said state and local police officers have attacked them and tried to stifle their attempts to speak and protest freely outside the Broadview ICE facility.

I’m grateful for your message.

But your actions need to demonstrate your words.

We need Illinois law enforcement to protect us in Illinois!!! Without real protection, we’re fucked.

DO MORE!

True.

But the farmers voted for this.

The farmers were warned this was going to happen. Tariffs came out of Trump’s own mouth.

They fucked around. Now they gotta find out.

This is true.

But the problem is that the people who vote for him think he’s talking about “them” not “us.”

Trump voter: “I’m intelligent; therefore, I recognize he’s imperfect. But you see here, Trump’s talking about the stupid ones—the ones who buy into everything he says. I’m not like them.”

This is textbook VICTIM BLAMING.

It’s Democrats’ fault for the violence against them.

We waited 20 years for John Bolton to be punished for telling lies about Iraq.

Instead, he gets punished for telling the truth about Trump.
