Big fan of Letitia. She walked in Brooklyn Pride, vs most other politicians who waved from limos.

We put too much emphasis on performative identity politics. Walking in Pride doesn't mean much without legislative/executive action.

Focus on political acts of getting bills passed, enforcing laws. This post is great because it's a perfect example of a politician that got shit done.

Too bad she's not in the Governor's Mansion, but happy to have her as our AG

Agreed. She's a rising star. Love the job she's doing and the public appearances.

Our family likes her a lot, my wife worked at a low income d75 school that was about to lose most of it's space to a charter during bloombergs big charter push. She helped the community push back against that and preserve a lot of the things like therapy spaces and common spaces that it was supposed to lose.

You like her because she walked.. not because of how well she does her job. Amazing.

I mean this whole post is about how well she does her job. It seems fine to have a comment praising her for her symbolic actions too.

Performance art means absolutely nothing and is not part of the job she was elected to do. It’s quite a silly thing to “praise” an elected official for.

There’s a reason why politicians participate in parades. It’s meaningful to people.

Did I say I didn't like the job she's doing? Stunning.
