It is unlawful for the president to withhold disaster relief and public safety funds for political reasons. I applaud this decision, and will continue to oppose the unconstitutional acts of this administration: tinyurl.com/2zu2b8dv

The Trump administration’s proposals would undo decades of progress we have made to address climate change by eliminating all existing EPA vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards and denying the EPA’s authority to regulate harmful air pollution: tinyurl.com/hwcu5rk2

While Washington continues to wreak havoc, in Illinois, we'll continue to make responsible choices needed to protect our people from chaos.

Here in Illinois, we are proud to continue expanding access to health care in our state. Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans in Washington are cutting funding for services — and now even threatening to shut down the federal government over it.

The @idph.bsky.social Immunization Committee is parting ways with federal guidelines on COVID-19 vaccines — and I agree with them wholeheartedly. With conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. at the federal level, I am proud of our state for standing up for science and lifesaving public health tools.

Mahmoud Khalil is a legal resident who was unjustly detained for nonviolent protests in support of Gaza. As he continues his ongoing legal fight with the Trump administration, we stand with him against the abuses of our immigration system.

For 8 months, Trump has terrorized immigrant communities. And now his Operation Midway Blitz has brought fear and violence to my own community– invading it with masked thugs targeting our hardworking neighbors. This state-sanctioned terror has to stop.

An ICE agent shot Silverio dead. DHS lied about what happened. There needs to be a full, thorough investigation into what happened that morning. All camera footage must be released. And Noem must come to the committee and account for ICE's unlawfulness and lies.

Noem's Operation Midway Blitz is harming our communities and terrorizing our neighbors. I joined Senators Durbin and Duckworth and the Illinois delegation to demand an end to the unlawful, unaccountable, unacceptable operation targeting Chicagoland.

DHS’s story doesn’t match the facts — a story Black Americans know all too well. Silverio Villegas González’s family and community deserve transparency and accountability. DHS must release all the footage.

Trump once suggested that injecting bleach could help cure COVID. RFK has a long, long history of peddling medical misinformation to enrich himself. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor.

Health care. We want families to have health care. When Trump rants about how "unreasonable" this is, remember that he decimated Medicaid— To gift-wrap tax cuts for his Mar-a-Lago pals. And instead of helping us fix the crisis he created, Trump is shutting down the government.

No, clean energy isn’t a scam. It creates jobs, lowers electricity prices, and ensures a healthier planet with fewer extreme weather catastrophes. President Trump’s shortsighted policies are ceding American leadership and American jobs to China - all while raising your electric bill.

Stop wasting money and hurting people for political theater. End Operation Midway Blitz.

Trump is scrambling to consolidate power before his own unpopularity takes him down. Our job is to build a big, bold, joyful opposition strong enough to stop him. Join us on Oct.18 for No Kings 2: www.nokings.org/?SQF...

Ok, FBI saying “engraved with anti-ICE messages and someone writes “Anti-ICE” on a shell in sharpie is some keystone cops business.

Government funding runs out in 6 days. Trump won’t negotiate with Democrats — even though he needs their votes to avoid a shutdown. Tell your senators: HOLD THE LINE. Don’t hand him another blank check. indivisible.org/camp...

I stand with my fellow journalists being targeted for doing their jobs. I hope media companies will do everything in their power to support their employees, especially those who are most vulnerable to attacks. freedom.press/issues/nonci...

🪧 Let’s be real…the protests aren’t ending anytime soon. Come hang out and make a sign! We’ll provide the supplies, you bring the creativity! ✏️ We’ll also be collecting NEW school supplies to be donated to Chicago families via Cradles to Crayons. 🔗 Sign up here or in bio: bit.ly/IGWLSigns

Please note that all the outlets now correcting their narrative re: ICE killing Silverio Villegas González since FPPD body cams have been released initially published the DHS statement now proven to be mostly false. There's never any understanding/admission of harm done. They'll just do it again.

The existence of a kidnapping agency is in and of itself political violence

They REALLY want to go with this line?

If Republicans don’t hold DHS accountable for its unlawful actions, we will. That’s why I joined Rep. Jayapal in a shadow hearing to bring attention to the Trump administration’s kidnapping and disappearance of immigrants.

📣 On Sunday, Sept 28, Indivisible Chicago members are coming together for the first-ever Chicagoland Day of Action — a Chicagoland effort to protect our elections, voting rights, and democracy! Join us at one of these events. See thread below for links to each action.

NEW: The significant increase in the number of times Chicago police officers have used force against Black & Latino Chicagoans since 2021 violates the consent decree, a coalition of reform groups told the federal judge overseeing efforts to reform CPD. @wttw.bsky.social

JD Vance is blaming the “obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE,” for the Dallas shooting even though detainees, not officers, were shot, according to the latest reports. Maybe wait for the facts before exploiting violence for political purposes.

the Kimmel reversal really does matter. It's a very high profile defeat for the administration—an administration which is losing popularity and really doesn't seem to have any way to reverse its numbers. 1

BREAKING: Two of the three people shot at a Dallas ICE facility are dead, officials say. All three people shot were detainees at the facility, an ICE spokesperson says.

Some news.

Check out this protest tomorrow.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Wednesday, September 24 - Healthcare Phone Banks TOMORROW / Chicago Fire Stadium Community Input / Why Fascists Fear Teachers 9/30

Chilling dispatch from Mario Guevara, the journalist trapped in ICE detention for...doing his job.

Broadview Fire Department said the village was reaching out to the DHS “to demand the fence be removed immediately” because it was installed “illegally” without a permit. “In case of fire or other emergencies… Broadview fire apparatus would be unable to use the road to accesss these businesses.”

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

If the government shuts down, Donald Trump and Republicans have only themselves to blame.

❗ @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov must drop the charade. It's literally impossible to negotiate anything with a president who invents "facts" to suit his interests & babbles nonsense. There's no hope Trump & his MAGA toadies in Congress will negotiate. Only recourse: SHUT IT DOWN.

Join ILS to Defend Free Speech and Free Elections! Join us at Welles Park 9/28 from 11:30 to 1:30 as part of a Chicagoland Day of Action to protect voting and elections. Sign up and more info here: www.mobilize.us/indivisiblec...

This president's performance makes parody impossible. Trump has brought the deepest shame to the United States.

President Trump has once again embarrassed our nation on the international stage. The American people and the world deserve leadership that uplifts our values, strengthens alliances, and restores respect for the United States. #LeadershipMatters

Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.

"The combination of cruelty and impunity in pursuit of a mass deportation crusade is dangerous," said one rights advocate after a family accused ICE agents of trying to use a 5-year-old autistic girl to lure her immigrant father outside. www.commondreams.org/news/immigra...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The SHAME this man brings to the United States on the world stage. Are you listening to Trump's deranged blather at the United Nations? Just one example among many :

It’s looking more and more like this will be the term that the SCOTUS effectively coronates Trump.
