Hello lovely people of Lakeview! We have the latest voter guide ready www.44th-ward.com/elections ! Come Kiki with us in Lakeview this weekend. More details to follow. With LOVE, 44th Ward Action 🫶🧿🕊️🍉

Canvassing while Black is NOT a crime, something I had to remind one of my neighbors AND the police last Friday. Stay until the end to watch the interaction for yourself.

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.

O'Neill Burke's office said they began drafting the new "Federal Immigration Enforcement Action Response Protocol" months ago. It's more detailed than a similar memo the California AG's office released in January. But one attorney said they "still don’t necessarily see any concrete actions.”

“All of this is really, really huge for me, thinking about the streets that I ran and walked as a young person, and now to be able to have a space, a whole space, to let other people know that it’s for them,” Hoffman said. thetriibe.com/2026/02/peac...

Cook County is NOT for sale. Proud to stand with Rep. Garcia, @delia.bsky.social, local lawmakers, and advocates today to call out the special interests trying to buy the Cook County Assessor's race.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Delighted to announce an endorsement from @unitednwside.bsky.social! #chicago #illinois #vote #election

Join tonight’s 19th district police council meeting to give feedback on this week-end’s crack down on peaceful protest in our neighborhood. www.44th-ward.com/actions/feb1...

During democratic primary season, 44th ward alderman Lawson is reminding folks via official ward newsletter to be grateful to our Il-D5 @quigley.house.gov for the $500K for Belmont station, forgetting that Quigley just voted with Republicans to send $3.3B in offensive weapons to Israel (H.R.7006.)

Chicago voter turnout in this midterm primary election is bananas. 10,163 ballots received as of last night. By contrast at this stage in 2022: 438 ballots received 2018: 186 ballots received

The State of the Union is reflected in the people in the street fighting fascism and authoritarianism, protecting each other, and mourning those who we have lost to the violence of the administration. 1/2

After nearly two decades of unchecked power Cook County District 10 deserves a commissioner who actually shows up, & whose priorities are aligned with the people over profits. Check out Drake’s platform drakefor10.com sign up to volunteer & support this grassroots campaign! @drakefor10.bsky.social

Mike wants extra credit for being a coward.

Excellent interview with @mayorofchicago.bsky.social and Hasan Piker. It is absolutely crazy that mayor has a better chance of a normal conversation with Hasan Abi 🫶🏼than any major Chicago media outlet. The corporate media blockade of progressive agenda is real. youtu.be/CjkBZXBMMJ8

Hello, lovely people of Lakeview / 44th ward! 44th Ward Action is happy to endorse Toni Preckwinkle for the President of the Cook County Board. Toni is the incumbent and we all sleep better at night, knowing that she is in charge vs yet another republican pretending to be a democrat. #Vote

The ICE killings in Minneapolis were intended to send the message that *no-one* is safe.

Everyone complicit in this moral horror needs to be prosecuted.

Where’s the “I’m scared of defund the police” crowd when you need them? Still scared?!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

44th Ward Action endorses Nick for IL State Senate! @nickforillinois.bsky.social We hope you join us in voting for progressive future for our ward, our city, and our state. With LOVE, 44th Ward Action

Look at the FOP endorsed “dems” on our city council. What do they all have in common? Faking outrage at racism while embodying, defending, funding and codifying it. Deprogramming stats at home, folks. Vote them out!

If you care so much, why don’t you come up in support of @mayorofchicago.bsky.social Ice on Notice executive order and tell SA Burke to stop making excuses and prosecute these criminals? You came up to attack the Mayor during budget season with a bunch of gibberish, what now?

Pack the gallery and give your public comments!!! Feb 18th!

Hello, lovely people of Lakeview / 44th ward! Our first 44th ward voter guide is here! If you are not sure which ward you are in, check out chicago.councilmatic.org To check your voting registration status, go to chicagoelections.gov

“No matter what the Vice President or the president says, there’s no such thing as absolute immunity in America,” @mayorofchicago.bsky.social said.

NEW — Yet another “Operation: Midway Blitz” case has been thrown out of federal court. Oak Park attorney Scott Sakiyama received a petty citation in October for allegedly impeding Border Patrol agents. Magistrate Judge Heather McShain dismissed the case last month. thetriibe.com/2026/02/case...

More performative email heroics from @quigley.house.gov Vote Quigley out. Abolish ice.

You know it. 😂

Corporate Democrats are citing the heartbreaking story of Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez—who died in immigration detention—to demand Trump reform the process. Yes it needs reform, but Anadith died in 2023 under Biden, and Corporate Dems did nothing but Increase ICE funding.😐 youtube.com/shorts/Y9nOh...

Love!!!

Here’s Quigley in his own words attacking progressive coalition of Chicago during corporate PAC’ manufactured budget crisis, using Republican / corporate “common-sense efficiencies” talking points.

While @mayorofchicago.bsky.social with progressive coalition were fighting to fund mental health services by taxing top corporations, did you not send your substack email backing corporate caucus that was opposing it? We have receipts, screenshots, timeline. What do you have?

if ur still blaming “uncommitted/third party voters” and not the2 parties who have consistently ran on strong borders, increased police budgets, and strong military idek what to say blaming anyone who’s not actively doing this is a waste of time but blaming people against genocide is a choice

We are covered in snow and still shaking it out of our hair and boots, but I am grateful we had a chance to come out today and stand with our colleagues and community in Minnesota. From Chicago to Minneapolis, we will rise up against this.

ICE out of Chicago. ICE out of Minneapolis. ICE out of everywhere.

NEW FROM OUR PUBLISHER: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s "Abolish Trump's ICE" language is a “bad apples” argument dressed in a trenchcoat. Read more of this analysis in our RESHAPE newsletter ⬇️ thetriibe.com/reshape/lang...

Interviewed on Al Jazeera today about ICE killing Alex Pretti and Renee Good, & made sure to speak the names of all 9 people ICE has killed in 2026—Keith Porter, Parady La, Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

I’m sharing our stories from 2020 so people can see and connect the dots… the defund and abolition movements have been going on for a long, long time. Black folks been trying to tell y’all… for YEARS. Been leading these mvmts… for YEARS.

The white supremacy virus spreads and kills everything it touches-including white society.

After the first shots are fired, the man collapses on the ground. Agents back away. At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.

Chicago Action Alert ‼️ Emergency Response to DHS Execution in Minneapolis. WHEN: Sunday Jan 25 @ 1PM WHERE: Ida B Wells & Michigan Ave., Chicago. ICE OUT NOW! FUERA ICE!

Action Alert ‼️ On Tuesday, January 27, 1PM, City Council will hold a joint meeting of the Committees on Immigrant & Refugee Rights + Police & Fire. Show up and speak up for protecting Chicago, demand police accountability, and ICE OUT!

Cops respond to uniforms. I usually favor the jacket/tie ensemble, disarming to cops. But when I need something stronger I break out the Roman collar.

NEW — As the Trump administration continues its onslaught of federal immigration occupations actions across the U.S., Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sánchez disagrees with giving Chicago police more power to potentially arrest youth through a stricter curfew policy. thetriibe.com/2026/01/city...

💯 What Ald. Sánchez said.
