Just a reminder… Black history, pass it on.

@duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov C’mon Tammy!!

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution

Thank you Mark 🙏💙🌊💙 #Impeach

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE: -Amazon -AT&T -Booz Allen Hamilton -Caci -Charter Communications -Comcast -Dell -Ecolab -FedEx -General Dynamics -L3Harris -Motorola -Thermo Fisher -UPS Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

Please SHARE if you agree!

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I've been saying this my entire career...as those before me have said. Power hates public ed because we are OBLIGATED to teach our very pluralistic society!

The world is a little wonky, so let the @chicagocta.bsky.social holiday train cheer you up (it just went by my classroom!):

Ilhan Omar: “His obsession with me is creepy, I'm not going anywhere — I'll be here longer than #Trump - He’s an old man losing his mind. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs—”

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to… they are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

😕

Shop Clark Devon Hardware instead and boycot Home Depot...FUCK ICE!!

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

You will be safe at protests. If you are nervous, go/leave early, stay away from people getting tense. There will be kids, and dogs, and signs, and probably a lot of frog motifs.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.” But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background. Don’t believe his lies for a second. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

This Is Fascism

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

wrote this line yesterday: "If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

It was an extraordinary week. The slumbering giant of America is awakening. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-7f6

I understand bailing out farmers who suffered some sort of natural disaster or blight to their crops from a parasite, disease, etc. But that’s not what is happening. They can’t sell their abundant crops because of one man. Trump did it, he can pay the farmers out of his crypto.

Laura Murillo, who has been in the U.S. for 20 years and has two daughters, was taken into custody Thursday. She was taken to the Broadview immigration lockup. trib.al/wKSA2Dl

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

The conservative majority simply blocks off reality to justify its ends. Today’s decision is as chilling as it gets. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

21 states are holding elections in September! Make sure you know when and where to vote by looking up the voter information appropriate for your state. Even today, there is still time to participate in the September 2nd elections! Make sure your voice is heard and VOTE! #vote #elections

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

Trump wants us to forget his Epstein files cover-up so badly that he’s invading Washington D.C.

Not one single Russian earned an inch of Ukrainian ground any more than a burglar or carjacker earned what they stole.

Wow

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!

Works for me! 👍

Thou shalt not sell off 253 million acres of beautiful land just so it can become more Walmart and McDonald’s parking lots.

We've done something similar to this at our school in Chicago.
