Love to see it!

Jan needs to step the fuck up, or step the fuck down and let someone else step up.

As time changes we need new blood and a more progressive way of looking at and doing things. Stop with the status quo. Bernie is doing his thing, but you see he brought someone young along with him.

I keep wondering why she’s not challenging Mike Bost since she doesn’t live in Jan’s district either. Bost is a Republican who needs to go as opposed to Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who is just old.

Yes

This is awesome 👏 👏

She hits on the keys things that are the every person daily issues. I rarely hear Dems comment on them. This is why Dems are at risk.

Kick-ass Kat! Go for it!

She worked for Media Matters, then more recently Mother Jones. She's only called an "influencer" by media because she has a big social media following. Let us know if you find her corporate sponsors.

By platforming her instead of the dairy farmer running for Elise Stefanik’s Congressional seat Rolling Stone is reinforcing the idea that regular people who aren’t on TikTok have no chance. When politics is a popularity contest regular people rarely win.

I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with your post, but what I do know is we need a shakeup in the Democratic party. The uncontested ones are mostly just hand wringing while Trump goes unchecked. Maybe someone like her is what's needed.

No they won’t since the current Rep. Jan opposes weapon sales to Israel.

no doubt. we need more octogenarians for sure

You like winning elections? How is that working out for you?

And killing Palestinians as well.

He prefers Chuck Schumer.

Because I’ve lived in the district for years and everyone loves her. We’re educated though, don’t watch much cable or mess around on TikTok. It’s adults.

More of this! We need to take local governance and state seats, more than anything. That’s what underlies a solid foundation for progress, and stopping the backslides into yesteryear nostalgia politics.

Well, Shaheen isn't running for re-election so...

Any meme worth its salt WANTS to be stolen and reposted. That is its raison d'être.

🙏🏾🤣🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Perfect.

this

So you know she was a recent Republican and racist then? And still support her? Says a lot about you.

Elbows up

No thanks, racist Republican grifters can fuck off

Let's vote in Democrats who will do the work for the people.

Her video was the first thing I saw on Bsky this morning and I am PUMPED

Bullshit. Was Schakowsky "behaving" a couple of years ago when she got arrested at the pro-choice demo at the supreme court? Point is, Jan is already the real progressive deal.

100% agree. Maybe we start with the actual fascists selling our country to the oligarchs? People not doing their jobs is an improvement.

Especially when the challengers have no base within the district because they’ve never done anything for anyone in the district. Then they complain about those doing things for the district.

Only if a GOPer is the replacement.

Nailed it! Your young and well spoken just what our government needs !

I'd support @katmabu.bsky.social for any office.

it's not like she's likely to beat the Joe stan lobby, wish her well

she's smart, funny, and brave. she knows how to handle a**holes, she's super media savvy, she's very well informed and educated. she's a million times better than most of the Dems in office right now. they are lucky she is offering to run for them. and she's beautiful.

I’ll have to do more research on her. The article paints a pretty picture but I’ll check out some more reputable sources. Thank you 😊

THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM #VoteDems Get Involved! Get the word out to everyone! Share it on TikTok!! #BuildtheResistance We need more pushback! Signups @ #mobilize.us and #fiftyfifty.one for protests Attend town hall meetings letters-boycott-strike-blackouts #5Calls #Bluestorm

I don’t think you understand Jewish voters. Netanyahu is the trump of Israel. The people who most vocally condemn him are also people with the most experience dealing with him- American Jews. Almost all of the pro Palestinian protests you see have a large number of Jewish people there.

So you're xenophobic and want the status quo, where elected representatives are failing to be the leaders we elected them to be. Got it.

that person’s turning 81 pretty soon

(her future opponent) “Schakowsky is regarded to be a progressive member of the U.S. House. In 2009, she was identified by GovTrack as being among the most progressive members of the 111th United States Congress. As such, she has been a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.”

It's ridiculous that you need a reminder that not all Jews are Zionists, but apparently you do.

True enough, but you would never know it by how AIPAC wields power in elections.

I knew it was coming. We are at the 💩 or get off the 🚽 part. bsky.app/profile/6tua...

More youth. More progressives. Fuck the old ways.

That’s all fine as long as they commit to backing the eventual Democratic nominee.

Why is anyone running for reelection at 80? Do all these people dream of dying in office. For the love of God we need age limits.

Bought by record companies. Macklemore is the only dude with any credibility.

True

This is how it’s done.

get huey out of that picture, if ur gonna be that much of a shill

Good for her

She’s got my support solely because she wants to actually fight. She’s more than capable of learning the ropes of Congress and legislating once elected

Yes! This needs to happen! The old guard is NOT meeting the moment?

Primary them all 👏👏👏

She is so smart and beautiful!

So when will she urge Bernie to retire?

Should Bernie step down?

Maybe, but Schakowsky is still a weird target.

Has a great series of self-produced videos. A star!

All of the people for her keep demonstrating they know absolutely nothing about this district. Jan Schakowsky is the furthest thing from a Vichy Democrat.

I have plenty of courage

Well, that's why I get kicked off of you tube so much, because I speak my mind, and I will never be quiet.

She’s beautiful.

and if elon hasn’t transitioned i dont know what hes done

...and how many fascists are we accidentally going to elect as a result.

LMAO On Chinese spyware saved by Trump. Man are some people so dumb.

I'm not gonna trust a "TikTok star" in government, are you crazy? That's how we got into this mess in the first place? :P

So the answer to authoritarianism is taking guns, allowing more police brutality?

Schakowsky needs to retire. In addition to all of this, she endorses whoever the least progressive Dem candidate is in local races in Illinois. If the richest people in town who are friends with developers know them, that’s who she endorses. Her time has past. Thanks for your service, now retire.

Well there is her LinkedIn which lists Everytown for Gun safety... www.linkedin.com/in/katherine...

Trump generated, and still generates, billions of dollars in revenue. WHat has she done?

I'm a huge fan of primarying everybody at this point... im a pretty institutional dem but right now I think it's right that all sitting dem congressmembers face their constituents in a real race to ask "am I still the right person to represent you?"

My understanding (but have to research more) is the woman in RS article is young and media savvy and quite to right of Schakowsky. Rightwing knows too many voters look at the package and not what’s inside. Also w/MAGA spending tons on races Dems must spend $$ strategically. Not primary-ing good MOC.

Still did more good than most of your politicians

If that's your only reason to oppose her then just admit you're a bigot.
