I signed onto it because I have always supported Israel and opposed BDS. But when constitutional lawyers expressed alarm that the bill could have a chilling effect on the First Amendment, I took their concerns seriously. That is not how I interpreted the bill language, and I still don’t interpret it that way, but it’s clear to me that if reasonable people can come to diametrically different conclusions about what the bill does, then the bill as written is too ambiguous and needs to be written more clearly.

there is no way to write an anti-boycotts bill so clearly that it won't somehow violate the first amendment

“The war on drugs was a success,” he said in a speech on criminal justice reform given last month. “Because the war on drugs was never actually on drugs. It was against black people.”

Pawar used that address to explain the true history of the modern drug war, which former President Richard Nixon utilized to crack down on the anti-war left and African-Americans.

As part of his campaign, he’s vowing to end Illinois’s participation in that drug war through a battery of policies: making minor possession of controlled substances no longer a felony, legalizing and taxing marijuana, expanding addiction treatment, establishing a truth and reconciliation commission to air police-community grievances, and, most radically, using his commutation powers as governor to simply commute the sentences of nonviolent low-level drug offenders.

...

You know, the British pit Hindus and Muslims against one another. Pit people against one another based on class and geography, caste … this is no different. Chicago versus downstate. Downstate versus Chicago. Black, white, brown against one another. All poor people fighting over scraps. So that’s why I jumped into the race. I’m going to call this stuff out.

this, however, is quite cool and good, so i have to ask how soon it'll be before rahm et al fucks him over?

the article says that he doesn't want anyone to be able to point to things the Dems are doing and blame him for them, so he'll stay mostly behind the scenes, restricting his involvement mostly to fundraising, backroom dealing, and advising. he will carefully avoid putting his face on it or letting himself become publicly associated with anything the Dems do

he says its because he doesn't want the Republicans to be able to point to him in attack ads. wouldn't want to let them associate the Democratic party with a tremendously popular nationally famous former president, after all. as usual it's all about his personal reputation and his fear of confrontation and conflict
