I applaud your decision. Governor Shapiro, to not give in to fear and to continue being part of American governance. I very much agree that "we assume that we have honest, decent actors in positions of authority that are going to respect the rule of law and the Constitution. We now no longer have that. And so we have to legally build up guardrails around this president and his administration so that they do not go to their worst impulses, which is what they are known to do, and instead defend people's constitutional rights, not erode them."

Josh, thank you for your leadership and service to your state and country. And thanks to your wife and your children for participating in and supporting your endeavors to lead Pennsylvania! Your steadfast belief and work in our democracy is so important in these crazy times! And I'm so grateful that you have not given up, even with all you have been through.

Gov. Shapiro, it would be more than nice if Palestinians wouldn't get murdered by these lazy Jewish extremists who steal their land for more settlements. It would also be nice if these social parasites wouldn't live off their wives' and their society's labors. They are the worst of the worst Israelis and they are responsible for Netanyahoo still being in power to conduct their war criminal actions.

This post is in no way meant to reflect on American or Israeli Jews who hate these actions just as much.

Gov. Shaipro has been far too willing, to borrow from Lillian Hellman, to cut his conscience to fit what is politically acceptable. Review his words and his actions with respect to the student protests at Penn to support the Palestinian cause, against how he now characterizes his position. He'd need to be far more ready to cut US financial and military support for Israel before he'd seem to be the right person for the presidency in 2028.

Please run for president in 2028 .... we need someone who is an ethical, knowledgeable, and active leader. You would be perfect to help stop genocide in Gaza.
