That moment as a poll watcher when the polls close and you're locked in with democracy

#bospoli #mapoli
I live two blocks from W1P1's polls and have been coming here every election to get a photo of the count after the polls close because I am a sick freak

ME (last month): the new generation of post-Walsh #bospoli leaders and activists have finally broken machine politics as we knew them and made an uncompromising commitment to moral clarity, honesty, and character

ME (today):
Honestly this one's on me for ever even beginning to believe that could be true, but here we are
I am challenging one other man who has any kind of platform within #bospoli to show that they believe and support women who come out against powerful men who refuse accountability.

Just one.

This should not be an actual challenge.

Don't make me start tagging you, you cowards

"Progressive prosecutors" are rearranging deck chairs on the Death Star. They are trying to captain a battleship through a narrow sewer.

I'm done with ticky-tack memo-based reform. Tell me how you'll use your office to the furthest possible extent for liberation.

#bospoli
Questions for all "progressive prosecutors": what will justice look like in 10 years after the changes you want to set in motion? 20? What legislation do you support or are you proposing to fundamentally reimagine--and ideally end--your job as you know it?
This has been a long road for me and I still have more reading and thinking to do, but I will say that moral clarity in electoral politics becomes much easier when you realize just how little some of these choices ultimately matter toward getting to the world you want to live in

I've worked w/100+ sexual assault survivors in the past 17 years, mostly in asylum cases. I've seen what both not being able to tell anyone & not being believed when they do does to ppl--& the work it takes to heal--& I've just about lost my mind in the past 48 hrs. Wtf #bospoli? Summary of allegations against Sufolk DA candidate Ricardo A
Am I the asshole here for actually believing every word of this? Honestly it's days like these that I'm just as happy that I don't depend on state or local courts/electeds/politics for my livelihood. What a sorry fiasco this all is
So now we'll either have a #SuffolkDA who many believe on the word of a survivor is an unrepentant rapist or a DA who others now believe on the word of the accused leaked *records of that assault involving a minor* for political advantage. Great work everyone

I believe her, and it matters. She matters. That's it, and that's all.

The responses (and absence of responses) to this tomorrow will define #bospoli + #mapoli for years to come

#SuffolkDA
@kennycooks This isn't about teams or sides or supporting any candidate over another. I fundamentally don't even support the role of DA as it currently stands in our system, so I honestly hardly care which of the two candidates with nearly identical policies wins. But I do care about this.
I honestly thought it was bizarre enough that I was being asked to get behind a candidate who had never entered an appearance as counsel in the court all of his most serious charging decisions as DA would be heard in, but it seems we're way past that now

WHERE WERE YOU when you heard that the former president who'd already taken a dry run at a coup spent an hour publicly explaining exactly what kind of dictator he would be + how he would do it which the media covered as a "policy" speech?

I was on my annual summer vacation on Block Island, RI. This was both the best and worst possible time to start to process what I'd just heard this man say
🛑🛑🛑!!!!

I know there are more pleasant things on your feed rn and I am truly sorry to do this but please take a minute to consider that everything in this quote is literally true. Not even a pinch of hyperbole. Really put everything down and sit with it right now. Quote from a national security lawyer correctly noting that
