Danielle R. Sassoon, the interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, quit after the Justice Department told her to withdraw corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams.
As much as we need people to stay and fight, I can’t blame them for getting out. This is an administration that has no problem enabling people to send death threats and worse. I can’t imagine the kind of stress she’s going through.
I get it, this is one major reason why I’m not interested in getting into politics myself, but I think if you’re willing to take on this role in government then you should be willing to stand up for it. Pretty easy of me to say sitting behind this screen though.
She’s not really a politician though. I agree for the politicians, and I agree ideally everyone should, but most people are just trying to get by and only looking out for themselves.
I’m really on the fence with this one, she’s not a politician but it is still a pretty public position in the government. I do, however, think that we need to some how figure out how to dissuade people from making death threats, they have become far too normalized at this point, but I suppose with 300 million people in this country you’re going to have a large number of the population (even if it’s a small percentage) that take things to the extreme and I don’t know how you fix that. Like, how do you teach empathy to people who clearly don’t have any?

We don’t know if she has a family being threatened, health issues, etc. either. It’s way easier to judge when you have nothing at stake.
