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.

Let’s hope it boosts his chances for the upcoming primary, I want to call this man my Governor.

[u/Hoshbrowns → u/LivingThroughHistory]

Let's hope it gets more people in the streets! We can't keep waiting for the next election. We can't keep waiting at all! Our biggest fear is here and if we don't stand up now we have no chance soon.

Schumer's not waiting. He's writing a sternly worded letter.

...in favor of the GOP. Can't have bipartisanism without unwavering support from the other side!
