Donald Trump: Stop trying to incite Illinoisans into violence. Pack up and go home.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This. Every Dem leader needs to repeat this until te media can't ignore the accusation- and need to keep asking Trump and GOP leaders if they are going to steal the 2026 election. Make THAT accusation the continual context for Trump's deployment of troops: they are a prelude to a 2026 coup.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

Dude, the mandate has been revoked. People fucking hate you. Your guy is more unpopular than Biden when he got out of the race last year. They’ve rejected every part of your agenda. You’ve been losing elections all across the country this year. You’ve lost your mind. Stand down.

The Coalition Against the Trump Agenda has also announced an emergency rally downtown on Wacker Drive and Michigan Avenue in protest of President Donald Trump’s renewed threat to deploy National Guard troops in support of ongoing ICE operations tonight at 5:00 p.m. thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...

again, Democrats should be saying that they will investigate and prosecute those who gave the order and those who carried it out. this is murder and a war crime.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

this is more like it (from Instagram, posted by The Triibe, Block Club, and others) www.instagram.com/p/DPISPcujRO...

I feel strongly that media should not call this a "crackdown" on free speech. That word implies something illegal is being righteously targeted and rooted out. It's the same framing that has obfuscated the admin's "crime" and immigration policies. Just call it censorship.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

see, @democrats.org @kenmartin.bsky.social??? this is literally the direction you need to take. nobody wants you to shift right, we’re all but begging you to SHIFT LEFT ⬇️

Trump is now cutting Social Secutiry benefits And don't say SSI as if it's not Social Security. This is the same system as benefits for retirees- and if Trump is cutting one part, he is likely to come for the retiree benefits part next.

TODAY! Chicago shows Trump we are not afraid. We are many and we stand united.

I don't do this often, but I am begging you to read and share this article by @chipmitchell1.bsky.social on the state of Chicago crime. www.wbez.org/news/2025/09...

The White House declares that it would be a “hostile act” if House Republicans voted for a complete release of the Epstein files. Trump seems desperate to cover up any connection with his friend who raped children.

The last No Kings was amazing. This one needs to be even bigger as Trump has escalated the autograph and we need to show that we will not surrender

Action Alert! Protests work when YOU show up. www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings #NoNotObey #voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Attention Chicago: We will NOT be meeting at Federal Plaza. We now will be meeting at Ida B Wells and Michigan. Time and date depends on the arrival time of the troops: IF TROOPS ARRIVE BEFORE 3PM, PROTEST SAME DAY AT 5PM. IF TROOPS ARRIVE AFTER 3PM, PROTEST NEXT DAY AT 5PM.

Be ready to hit the streets.

CHICAGO - ICE Be like my pal @jenreadsromance.bsky.social & pull out your phone RIGHT NOW and add the number for reporting ICE to your contacts. Then you won't have to look for it when you inevitably see some bullshit this week.

CHICAGO Time to start printing, folding, & distributing ⬇️ How to Report ICE - zine by @meganpiont.bsky.social I've handed out ~25 since yesterday, as I went about my day, & the folks behind counters to whom I handed them have all been VERY grateful. (The file also has instructions for folding!)

A recent poll shows @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leading comfortably even if his opponents drop out to coalesce. In the same poll, voters list their top issues as cost of living, public safety, and housing affordability. Voters are starting to see socialism as the answer to their concerns.
