75% of intimate partner violence victims are women. NIH study: up to 69% of women are physically assaulted by an intimate male partner at some point in their lives. One study showed that false reports happen less that .01% of the time. READ THAT AGAIN.

Still one of the best concerts I ever went to - #prince #chicago 2/28/06 at the Congress Theater (pic is blurry…)

Hey #Illinois - early voting is still happening!

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

I ♥️ Chicago

Until #Illinois can ensure the safety of our children from gun violence and ICE - there should NOT be any type of cell phone school ban. Our kids having their cell phones have helped save lives. @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Whiplash of emotions today with all that’s going on. This one breaks my heart 💔 RIP #catherineohara

The outrage over the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort need to be as loud as Kimmel and Colbert!

Always a much watch - especially today. Thank you @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social

Thank you to @brucespringsteen.net for this moving dedication to Minneapolis - and recording what is really occurring right now. I cried throughout the entire song. I also want include the memory of Keith Porter who was murdered in LA

Email your senators using the help from Indivisible and then call them tomorrow

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

@duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov - vote NO

Please SHARE if you agree!

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

From @icirr.bsky.social: Rapid response teams in our network confirm 50+ additional ICE agents arrived in Chicagoland Jan 6. We expect increased ICE presence in Chicago & suburbs in coming days. If you see possible ICE activity or know someone who's detained, call ICIRR's FSN Hotline: 855-435-7693

Did you also wake up this morning screaming “WTF”? This is a must watch to answer the questions you’ve been thinking…

If you read one U.S. president's remembrance of Rob Reiner today...

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

The overturning of Roe V Wade was the first time in American history women lost rights. America is d-evolving.

"It gives the government tools to pick and choose who they want to punish." Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova explains how government targeting of marginalized people builds the tools to persecute anyone the government decides is a problem.

Absolute cowards. Stand up, fight back, or get out of the fcking way.

Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social! #TRMS

Are you hearing a lot of contradicting info regarding the Epstein Files Transparency Act? Watch @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social ResistanceLive today where she beaks it down in layman’s terms and explains what it all means. #epstein

Trans, non-binary and gender expansive sibs: a friend’s child was recently able to obtain a passport using their correct gender marker notwithstanding current policy through the help of this NB attorney in San Francisco. www.identityaffirmation.org

@duckworth.senate.gov and @durbin.senate.gov

@durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov - constituent and mental health therapist here in Illinois - vote NO! We have put our faith in you - do not sell us short now!

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

WTF….

Here is a way you can help your neighbors… #snapbenefits

Wanting to know how you can help those who are set to lose their SNAP benefits? This is a must-watch

Good!

@maddow.msnbc.com is on 🔥!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Governor Pritzker's office number: 312 814 2121

For those trying to contact @govpritzker.illinois.gov office about what is happening in Chicago, I was able to leave a message at this number: 312-814-2122 - call his office and make it known that he has to stop this now! #Illinois

In my happy place…just finished to the 1st round of listening. Onto my 2nd. Loving this album! 🧡

.@morganevelyncook on TikTok is trying to figure out why Trump is sending troops to Portland, Oregon, and her video is the greatest thing ever 🤣

Maybe it’s time to let folks like @crockett.house.gov and @aoc.bsky.social deliver the response to the GOP shutdown?

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit
