This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

I was proud to join protestors in Evanston today standing up against ICE’s terror. Each day, every day, we will fight back until the Trump regime is dismantled.

Instead of strengthening communities, Trump threatens significant cuts to resources that keep our city alive. We need leaders who support us in improving and expanding our public transit networks.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:
If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.
If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.
Pretty clear

Baseline shifting doesn’t just numb us, it erases meaning. And if we allow that, the losses keep piling up while our response keeps shrinking.
