My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going.

Things are changing, y’all.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Drop something into this brave leader’s campaign. We need strong people fighting for us.
A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

Love it! Compare to Schumer’s ads, which are a lot like sucking on old fish.
It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.

(Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

Popping out of the vehicle guns drawn and pointing them at a legal observer exercising her constitutional rights.

Everything about this is reckless, dangerous, the opposite of law & order and keeping anyone safe… how do people see this and not see masked secret police style terror on US streets
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.
