In the face of fear and oppression, our greatest strength lies in unity. Despite being broken and humiliated, residents of a Chicago apartment building rise together, finding power through their struggle.

Not sure what others think but seems ICE has escalated in the Chicago suburbs as their activity lessened in Chicago. They obviously haven’t left the city either but seems they’ve gotten even more aggressive in the suburbs.

It’s truly hard to reconcile a lifetime of believing that the purpose of government in the United States is to help citizens with the hatred ICE and other federal agencies have displayed for Americans in Chicago, LA, DC and other US cities

Mark Kelly: “Jobs are down. Wages are flat. Costs are up & this President is asleep — Like literally, he’s falling asleep on the job. It’s hurting the American people — He’s doing nothing to try to help people with the cost of groceries, rent, & healthcare”

Powerful to rally today with several hundred teachers, families, and community members in support of West Contra County teachers! Our community supports the strike and will be out in the streets every day until teachers get a fair contract.

160 years ago, the 13th Amendment was ratified, ending slavery. But that amendment came with a sinister loophole: a Slavery Clause that allowed for slavery “as punishment for crime.” We need to pass @repnikema.bsky.social’s and my Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException once and for all!

Negotiations fail to yield progress, while Moscow launches more than 700 drones and missiles across Ukrainian territory.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTruhns18/ Only a 20 day suspension for this. NOT a termination for absolutely obvious abuse of power. 20 days. Black officers and employees get fired for so much less.

just remembering what an emergency it was supposed to be when a stanford committee put out a list of possibly problematic words for people to consider looking at to make sure they were happy with their word choices on the university website

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Been feeling this in my bones for over a decade. You?

Universal healthcare is a moral imperative. It unleashes creativity. It unleashes small business. I often think about what Maine would look like if all of my friends who work incredibly hard didn't have to worry about healthcare.

My Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act establishes real standards for immigrant detention and phases out for-profit facilities. This corrupt administration shouldn’t be allowed to funnel billions of dollars to private prisons companies who donated millions to Trump’s campaign.

The New Yorker reporter Ronan Farrow was correct when he said Donald Trump was involved in as many as 60 "catch and kill" operations during the 2016 presidential election in which Trump first won power, former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic. Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The Supreme Court is illegitimate. 3 were appointed by traitor who sent mob in coup to murder elected officials as part of conspiracy. The wife of at least 1 other justice actively participated in aforementioned fraud. Then the court grants the traitor immunity. It all reads like coup.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will take food assistance from 4 million people.  While the president jets off to Mar-a-Lago and builds a ballroom, millions of families will be left struggling to afford groceries.  That isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty.

It’s funny how Elon Musk has no problem with Chinese regulation, which is much stricter than European regulation. Have you ever seen him call for the abolition of the CCP?

BREAKING: A Utah judge refused to halt her landmark ruling that struck down the GOP’s gerrymander — meaning a fairer map remains on track for 2026. Republicans claimed they had “no opportunity to appeal.” The judge flatly rejected that.
