I'm so happy and proud for you, @katmabu.bsky.social! Best of luck going forward!

Sidenote though, PLEASE ask your campaign to take greater care with editing, as there are several significant typos in this statement. 😘

I donated even though I live in Michigan. Go get ‘em, Kat.

I want Elon Musk deported. De-naturalize him, shackle him up, shave his head, and send him to El Salvador (after due process of course)

I have never seen a candidate for any political office anywhere do such a super great thing as welcome and promise to fund potential opponants. Now nazis need not apply... however, let ten thousand flowers bloom like this. Around the world. & Torontoland.

Please work on getting some Republicans to defect. They all know this is wrong, as well as so much more is wrong. Some republican (senators, congress persons, etc)
just need feel/know they will be safe if they defect.

We need people with the temerity to meet this moment. I hope that person, be it you or someone else, will emerge and show that they will be another voice against autocracy and economic oppression.

I would happily volunteer to be this campaign's dedicated copy editor and typo-spotter.

The last two paragraphs says everything I need to know about your character. The silencing of robust debate within the “Democratic” party has been more odious to me than anything else.

Just remember that the only serious competition for Illinois's 9th district is the Primary. The Democratic Party's nominee is certain to win the general election.

Get money out of politics, I’ve never donated to political candidates or policies, it’s madness, if you want to be a public servant, act like it.

frh.bsky.social•4 days ago

Fix the typo (“teadfast”). Otherwise, good on you! I will speak well of you to my Chicagoland friends. And once Schumer says he’s going to step aside as leader (precondition for reactivating my ActBlue account) I will donate.

strangeopera.bsky.social•3 days ago

how though? by posting on social media? i don't understand how you are going to be effective in Congress as a first term rep when you haven't demonstrated that you understand what it takes to make change. what community service qualifications do you have?

gayemily.bsky.social•4 days ago

you say you'll 'actually stand up', i think you - as well as all 2026 candidates, should be calling for impeachment. you can't take an oath on the constitution otherwise

You go girl. We need more like you and more like Rep. Schakowsky to get this.

Bravo. Excellent statement and call to action. 🙏🏻

wolfhua.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why will you not answer about impeachment? If you have please direct me to your statement since I don’t want to elect you unless you are clear on that. It’d be no better than the current ones in office if you won’t fight on that.

wolfhua.bsky.social•4 days ago

@katmabu.bsky.social I will tag you for an answer since I am quite disappointed you wouldn’t even respond to my concerns previously and just ignored me. It makes me concerned for putting any money towards you. If you’d like my support, you need to answer regarding impeaching this administration.

terranon.bsky.social•4 days ago

Obvs not Kat. But Trump has already been impeached twice to zero effect. Do you think the third impeachment will be the charm?

wolfhua.bsky.social•4 days ago

That’s her tag. What will she do to bring action that isn’t just complaining on what Trump is doing like the other Congress people? Impeachment is an avenue to push to get him out of presidency. I mean sitting around and waiting isn’t doing anything. Any kind of pressure would be nice.

terranon.bsky.social•3 days ago

When I said obvs not kat, I was referring to myself since the guy was demanding a response from her.

Nixon chose to leave after being impeached because despite his ludicrous number of faults he at least worked within the system. Trump would just take another impeachment as a badge of honor.

wolfhua.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well what do you propose you do about him? My last response to you since I am tired of doing nothing and acting like it wont work. Trump folds at many things. If enough pressure mounted, I believe we have a chance. But I will not waste my time arguing with someone like you anymore.
