State Sen @robertpeters.bsky.social's diverse district runs from Downtown to SE Side. "This beautiful district [is being] destroyed by ICE!

This is such a good comeback against Bovino

Indiana voters let their leaders know they didn't want their state to be redistricted. Damn good news!

Unless they’ve relocated to the ninth circle of hell, it isn’t far enough.

The People's Unity Platform says: Chicago’s budget should protect the people who make this city run — not corporations who profit from it. Chicagoans, read more & use this quick email form to tell your alder to support Mayor Johnson's Protecting Chicago budget: peoplesunityplatform.com/26budget

"The challenge is not what we want & who we want to benefit, it's who's going to pay for it. In this budget, those who have made a killing off the backs of working people - the ultra rich, big corporations - will finally pay their fair share in taxes." ~ Mayor Johnson, United Working Families rally

"Justice Brandeis said we can either have democracy, or we can have wealth concentrated in the hands of the few. We can't have both. We must ensure our democracy continues to evolve. It's not returning back to what it was before Trump; it's about making it better." ~ @mayorofchicago.bsky.social

"If alders have other ideas, it is time to bring them forward so we can debate them," Mayor Brandon Johnson said. @wttw.bsky.social

Support Mayor Johnson's Protecting Chicago Budget! Relieve working families and have big corporations pay their fair share. At the United Working Families 11/12 rally, we heard from Stacy Davis Gates @ctulocal1.bsky.social, Ald. @jessiefuentes.bsky.social, and speakers from UWF & Good Kids Mad City.

Billionaires & corporations got record tax breaks while this govt was breaking people. BUT People have power! Stay united no matter how many lobbyists show up at our doorsteps or how many threats come from Washington DC. PROTECT CHICAGO. Support the mayor's budget! ~Ald William Hall, 11/12 UWF event

"The Mayor's budget asks the question: Do we tax large corporations that have made ballooning profits & billions in tax breaks, OR tax the rest of us thru increased garbage fees, grocery taxes, and property taxes?" ~Breanna Champion of Chicago Black Voter Project, 11/12 United Working Families event

Mayor Johnson revised his proposed 2026 budget reduce his proposed corporate tax hike to spare companies with fewer than 200 employees. The change to tax to just 1.5% of Chicago businesses instead of 3% of city firms did nothing to mute intense opposition. @wttw.bsky.social

I just think it’s so funny that Bovino and his masked thugs are leaving for the south and talking about returning to Chicago in the Spring. Like a bunch of boomer snowbirds. Next winter they are thinking about going to The Villages.

Holding Reverend Jackson in our hearts. So many are sending prayers!

At Chicago's Federal Plaza in support of the Broadview 6 and people's right to protest: *The First Amendment is our permit! *Protect free speech - stop ICE! *ICE = Trump's Gestapo! *Protesting WRONGS is a patriotic RIGHT! And always: No ICE, no KKK, no fascist USA!

We defend the RIGHT to PROTEST. Rallying Wednesday at Chicago's Federal Plaza as the Broadview Six pleaded NOT GUILTY at their first court hearing.

Even though spineless Senate Democrats caved, the overwhelming majority of House Democrats followed @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social’s lead to keep fighting and oppose this scam of a bill. Thank you to Leader Jeffries and every Democrat who stood together and stayed true to our values.
