Something I learned a long time ago, and which was confirmed during my six terms as.an elected official, is that the real divide in the Democratic Party isn't left vs right, it's fighter vs folder.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Recently I was driving and I saw a political sign that said "Sportsmen for Winsome." And just...guys? Her last name is Sears. You had the alliteration *right there* and you missed it. You fumbled it as hard as she's gonna fumble the election.

People hiding their neighbors so they don't get taken and disappeared. What does this remind us of, folks?
My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.
This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

right? "We" were already fine tolerating each other. We were fine with live-and-let-live. Then it turned out that the right was not fine with live-and-let-live, they wanted absolute dominance, and so now we are not fine with them anymore

Politicians and rich people only condemn violence as "political" when it kills someone rich and famous.
When trans people are targeted for violence by the state or by right wing influencers, when immigrants are racially profiles and put in camps, when protestors are brutalized, that's just normal.

If you are cheering the detention of immigrants at a concentration camp in Florida because they "broke the law," congratulations. You are someone who would have turned in Miep Gies for hiding Anne Frank's family.

Trump is trying to fire three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission the agency that ensures products like cribs, toys, and electronics are safe. The removals are illegal and undermine the commission’s independence. But since when has the Trump admin cared about following the law?

After the American Civil War, the Union really fucked up Reconstruction. And systemic racism has persisted. After the attempted coup on Jan 6, 2021, the federal government failed to punish anyone of note. And here we are. Full-fledged fascism. And on the edge of genocide. Cool cool cool.

I stand with @cedricwins.bsky.social, who has taken on one of the toughest leadership roles and navigated it with integrity. It is deeply disappointing to see politics interfering in an environment where the focus should be on progress, not division.
