Columbia Student Arrested by ICE in a University Building is released. Mamdani had to get on the phone with Trump to make this release happen. ICE misrepresented themselves in the first place! To gain access to private university buildings! #RESIST #ICEOUT #ICEisEVIL

Some people rise to the moment; others keep proving they never will. Trump is a big time loser.

This law is a dangerous attempt to deny transgender people autonomy over our own identities and lives. We'll see the state of Kansas in court.

Hillary Clinton: “You have held zero public hearings, refused to allow the media to attend them, including today, despite espousing the need for transparency on dozens of occasions. You have made little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in the Epstein files.“

"If you want to know who will ultimately pay in this scenario, just look in the mirror. Even as your home-insurance rates rise, so will your taxes. All of this will drive down property values, especially in the places most at-risk from climate disasters. And that will hurt muni finances even more."

It is fantastic the Columbia University student was released hours after she was abducted by ICE. But, there are thousands and thousands of other people who have been disappeared by ICE, who voiceless and powerless. Every day, we must fight for their release, and fight to end ICE’s reign of terror.

The USA Hockey team visited Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada & he showed WAY more respect for these champion Olympians than Trump did. That says everything.

Loved spending time with scholars and staff at College Track, a wonderful organization creating pathways to college for first gen students. The conversation was powerful and profound- young people are dealing with so much these days, but their hustle, tenacity and commitment give me so much hope!

One of the best parts of the SOTU. Classic.

BREAKING: Republican Members of Congress break with Speaker Mike Johnson, call on Rep. Tony Gonzales to resign as Republican majority hangs in balance open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm...

The State Of Our Union is… Broken Our jobs are to hold those accountable who have broken both laws & the trust of the American people, and to stitch it back together for everyone who has been hurt. And to be very clear, I do mean everyone who has been hurt, not just those who voted a certain way.

This is going to go over well. Talk about making a statement.

If Trump thinks he can come to Georgia and silence us, he will be dealt his most resounding defeat yet.

In England, they have now arrested both a prince and an ambassador, based upon their behavior with Epstein. In America, we have arrested a grand total of one person- a woman. When are American men going to start to face justice for their sexual assaults and rape, and when will the coverup end?

THERE’S POWER IN BOYCOTTING!

If the whole chamber started chanting “Epstein Epstein Epstein” during Trumps SOTU speech, that would be just.

BREAKING: We're suing the Memphis Police Department for refusing to comply with our public records request that would tell us whether misconduct continues to happen on their watch. The public deserves to know if the police are violating our constitutional rights.

Now that the Double Door's owners have abandoned their plans to open a concert venue in Uptown's old Wilson Avenue Theatre, I wonder what will happen with the building? I took these photos inside during Open House Chicago in 2024. flic.kr/s/aHBqjCLknM

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

How do we continue to reduce violence here in Chicago, at much faster rates than most other cities? By focusing on street outreach, life coaching, education, trauma therapy and employment. The road is long, complicated and never straight, but the rewards are extraordinary. @chicagocred.bsky.social
