Signed it; if you're anywhere left of center you should be 100% committed to convincing AOC to run and doing everything you can to elect her I'm not saying she's not beyond criticism, but she's the most progressive person to have an actual chance to be the President in two years

It is the responsibility of the 4th grade class at Greendale School in Franklin Park, NJ to condemn these threats done in its name-and to refute responsibility if there is none. Unfortunately, this is another instance where the children have excused or ignored extremism.

A photograph of an anthrax-contaminated envelope sent during the 2001 biological attacks, addressed to Senator Patrick Leahy at the 433 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington D.C. 20510-4502. The white envelope features distinctive block-style handwriting used by the attacker, displaying a deceptive return address that reads: "4th Grade, Greendale School, Franklin Park NJ 08852." It is postmarked from Trenton, NJ on October 9, 2001, and bears a 34-cent blue USA eagle stamp.

A different but somewhat parallel example: in Albuquerque, there was a statue of the conquistafor Don Oñate in Old Town until 2020. Oñate's subjugation of the Acoma pueblo was so violent that the Crown banned him from returning to New Mexico. Or, as Sister Catherine puts it,

part of the reason people don't want the history of this period taught or understood is to make this illegible to people. it's easy to swallow thought ending cliches about which venerated figure was a "man of their times" if you remain studiously unaware of what their times actually were

As a socialist, I would simply not run as a third-party candidate in a close election with Republican control of the Senate on the line, but that's just me.
