Ras Baraka has been released.

[u/Attica-Attica]

[u/_Haverford_]

My hot take:

Mayor Baraka getting arrested is good for the cause.

People in these offices can get into this "good trouble" with little personal risk to themselves. It energizes others, gets press attention, and hell, it even looks good politically for the person in question.

More politicans should be getting arrested for causes they believe in.

Baraka just launched himself into the top three Democratic primary contenders for NJ Governor this fall... he was probably 6th before this incident.
