Donald fired Pam Bondi for one reason and one reason only: she didn't do enough to cover up for him. And she really tried.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

The Supreme Court just gutted conversion therapy bans across America 8 to 1. The court just gave the green light to a practice the United Nations calls torture.

Bruce: "Federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis and of Minnesota was an inspiration to the entire country. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America."

Walz: Welcome to the freest state in the nation—a state where you love who you choose to love, a state where you make your own healthcare decisions, a state where you worship—or not—according to your own beliefs, and maybe most importantly, a state where everyone belongs.

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊

This is Harold Washington Library State and Van Buren

I was proud to stand with so many Illinoisans today to say: NO KINGS! We will not bend the knee to a wannabe dictator, and we will hold Donald Trump accountable. Let’s keep making our voices heard!

The 48th Ward community showed up strong for No Kings Day!

No Kings More Queens 🏳️‍🌈 Just a few pics from today’s rally in Edgewater, Chicago. Thank you neighbors for turning out ❤️

Omar: Just a couple of weeks ago, they told us that they blew up a drug trafficking camp in Ecuador and it turned out to be a dairy farm.

SPRINGSTEEN IN MINNEAPOLIS: “This is still America… and this reactionary nightmare and invasion of American cities will not stand.” 🇺🇸 (From ablackpolitical)

Jane Fonda: Becca Goode, the wife of Renee Goode, has asked me to read a statement, which I am honored to do.

Today: Sat. Mar. 28 at noon in Edgewater, Chicago. Rally with us on Sheridan at Foster, Berwyn and Bryn Mawr with millions across the nation to say fascists out. Show up for those who can’t with signs and your voice. Join a peaceful demonstration near you to say this is what Democracy looks like.

[furiously jabbing at my phone screen] why can’t I log a letterboxd review of the megan thee stallion and nickelback ad for cheetos

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people. Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast. Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

Let 👏 @bebopott.bsky.social 👏 drive 👏

BREAKING: Trump administration must temporarily unfreeze CTA Red Line funds, judge orders

BREAKING: New Jersey has sued the Trump administration to block the conversion of a Roxbury warehouse into a 1,500-person ICE detention center, the latest legal challenge to the administration's nationwide detention expansion program.

Proud of the 48th ward primary turnout at 42.29% 14,056 ballots cast chicagoelections.gov/elections/re...

Chicago results: Abughazaleh 34.5% (+11) Biss 23.5% Fine 13.5% Simmons 13% Amiwala 5.7% Andrew 2.6%

Our democracy works best when everyone has a voice. SAVE is not an anti fraud bill-it is a voter suppression bill. If it passes, the SAVE Act would estop millions of Americans from voting especially women, vets & seniors. @americanprogress.bsky.social. www.americanprogress.org/events/the-s...

Alderman elections next year, let's go! (Glad I can vote to re-elect my current rep, @leniann.bsky.social)

Foia-ing for the daily EV + VBM by Ward. Apparently 48 has the highest turn out of registered voters so far @leniann.bsky.social 👏

Carl Sandburg’s iconic 1914 poem “Chicago” recently gained fresh relevance when a judge read it aloud in a court ruling addressing DHS use of force. That inspired our arts desk to ask some well-known Chicagoans to recite it, with help from Bill Kurtis, Sandra Cisneros, Colston Loveland and others.

reminder to vote for two different genders for IL State Central Committee races. In the 9th CD there are 6 of us. The ballot says vote for no more than two. But does not say vote for different genders and does not have pronouns next to names. Vote for me, Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth & Eric Smith!

📢 Illinois neighbors! Rally with Senator Warren for Juliana Stratton! Election Day is days away. Hear directly from Sen. Warren and Juliana at this historic event! Fri., Mar. 13th Northside Chicago, IL Address available upon RSVP RSVP required for entry act.julianastratton.com/signup/march...

📢 Important: Vote for Two Candidates of Different Genders 📢 The Democratic Party of IL is run by the Democratic State Central Committee, (34 members, two from each of the state's 17 congressional districts). The Committee recruits candidates to run for office and helps them get elected. ➡️

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Wow, this really is a confusing ballot set up.

Remember for State Central Committee, vote for two people of different genders. This is really confusing and something we need to change in Illinois law. Do not vote for two people of the same gender or you’ll basically cancel your vote. Vote for me, Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth, and Eric Smith for IL-09!

Make a plan to vote and vote for Juliana Stratton for US Senate! Early voting is happening now. Make a plan to vote 🗳️

I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.

Appreciate the shoutout today from the Chicago Tribune, and I'm proud to have their endorsement for State Senate. I’m ready on day one to reform zoning, fix construction codes, and make it more affordable to live in the neighborhoods we all love. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/26/k...

I’m happy to share that our campaign has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Illinois Action! Reproductive freedom is a personal topic for me. As State Representative, I will work to ensure the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare is affordable and accessible for all.

Whether it’s canvassing with @abundanthousingil.bsky.social, @sierraclubchicago.bsky.social, and @voteleni.bsky.social or joining us at the polls, this is a huge week to volunteer! Don’t miss your chance - join us! www.mobilize.us/drakefor10/ #chicago #illinois #urbanism #vote #election

No amount of MAGA money can erase @rajaforil.bsky.social’s biggest weakness: his own record. He voted to fund ICE, he voted to thank ICE, and he's spent a decade cozying up to the same ICE contractors and MAGA forces he claims to stand up against. Illinoisans deserve better.

I was proud to stand with so many Illinois leaders and community members today to make it clear: MAGA money won't decide this race.

SCOOP: IL-9 congressional candidate and current state senator Mike Simmons had police called on him in Buena Park while canvassing for votes. No arrest was made. Here’s the video of the interaction @senmikesimmons.bsky.social recorded and shared with me.

Simmons' campaign with a comment about this incident, which occurred on Friday in Buena Park:

I am disgusted this happened to Senator Simmons. Even in a district as diverse as ours, we are reminded all too frequently that Black and brown communities bear the burden of overpolicing. We stand in solidarity with Mike.
