I got arrested yesterday! (real drop off from being a corporate law firm associate five months ago. or upgrade.) I was blocking vehicles leaving from ICE’s Broadview, IL, staging ground and de facto detention center at 1930 Beach St. full statement (for now) below.

heard some people were talking about me on bluesky

if only someone had pointed out he was going to keep doing this if the firms didn’t unite! if only 1500+ people in the industry had pointed it out!!! what a lost opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today, like all days, is an excellent one to listen to the Diabolical Lies episode on Scott open.substack.com/pub/diabolic...

starting to think progressive policies might be popular outside of NYC??? difficult to say

my parents did not believe in lying to their children so I was raised knowing full well that Santa Claus was fake so I may be trying to make up for the sense of wonder in adulthood

my most childish political opinion is that I still think Obama reads all the books and listens to the songs. I know everyone sells out but he strikes me as a man who would never ever let a staffer frame his Taste to the public and also I suppose I just want to believe it

someone put my roommate on the Haley Stevens email list (hilarious prank tbh) (but not to do to me) and just sent our group text a screenshot of the most recent email, which is literally written entirely from the point of view of Haley’s dog

“I played with Obama many times” is giving “we have Haley Stevens at home” youtu.be/RP89nVzfjho?...

Uncommitted was a movement IN THE PRIMARY yall are so deeply annoying

there is fully a repost about a sitting congresswoman saying she would not commit to vote for AES four posts down on my profile

little infuriates me quite like white women leaning into racist narratives to avoid accountability and wow has Haley Stevens made sure I stay in a constant state of bubbling rage this summer. the fact she continues to think this will work tells me we need to go a lot harder in calling this shit out!

want to be clear there are absolutely big differences b/t Dems & GOP, don’t ascribe to all-the-same, and that said, it’s awfully telling how many high profile Dems now profess to prefer a Republican in office than a progressive and how that appears to be driven by who is closer to their values
