Credible allegations of sexual assault against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner make it impossible for me to help him in any form. Mainers deserve a choice for Senate without moral compromise. I have withdrawn all my support and am asking that he drops out of this race.

More trash from corporate media. Shame on you, @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board.

Trillionaires should not exist. Billionaires should not exist. The system is working exactly as it was designed. It’s time we build a new one.

Today, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. This is yet another example of the complete failure of the United States government.

The UK’s increasingly authoritarian government banned Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyghur from entering their country, because both Hasan and Cenk openly criticize Israel and the UK’s complicity in genocide. Fascism isn’t just growing in America - it’s growing worldwide.

Today’s election results so far have been a blow to theoretical democracy in America… The pro Israel lobby spent $34 million to defeat Rep. Thomas Massie and elect Trump’s pro-Israel, pro pedophilia candidate. As long as Trump is President, the right will be pro Israel and pro pedophilia.

First, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Now, voting rights in Illinois are under attack. A right-wing group is fighting to overturn Illinois' Voting Rights Act, following the Louisiana v. Callais decision. Read my full article here: open.substack.com/pub/letsaddr...

ICE has drastically increased their immigration enforcement presence at courthouses across Illinois in the last 72 hours, even though their presence at courthouses violates Illinois law. This is a coordinated operation and we must prepare for further escalation.

Fox News: if you don’t teach your children about the benefits of capitalism, someone will teach them about the horrors of socialism. Meanwhile, Americans can’t afford basic necessities. There’s a reason why May Day rallies were the largest they’ve been in decades - the workers have had enough.

On Thursday morning, a crowd entered a conference room in Chicago to discuss one specific concept: should businesses in Illinois be allowed to boycott any country they want, or are they only allowed to boycott any country except Israel? Read my full article here: open.substack.com/pub/letsaddr...

Trump endorsed changing the name of ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement). He did this simply “so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday.” Regardless, they’re still fascists. The important thing is ensuring that they all end up in prison.

ICE in Illinois updates: the Village of Broadview continues to challenge the First Amendment. Also, ICE ramps up activity across Illinois and plans to send over 100 agents to Champaign-Urbana soon. Read my full article here: open.substack.com/pub/letsaddr...

We, the United States, are the bad guys. The Fourth Reich is here, with Donald Trump as their leader. ICE is their Gestapo and the Pentagon is their chief terror cell. It’s all funded by your tax dollars. It’s time to disrupt. It’s time for nonviolent civil disobedience and mass direct action.

Donald Trump just doubled down on threats to invade Iran tonight. youtube.com/shorts/SJOLa...

Trump is getting ready to put the lives of American daughters, sons, sisters and brothers on the line, all out of his own hubris. This blood will be on his hands. He must face justice for all his crimes.

Below is a deranged statement from our dangerous and mentally unstable President of the United States. He wrote this post on Easter Sunday morning. Congress must act now to end this failed, illegal war with Iran and impeach Donald Trump.

What is the over and under on when Trump finally calls it Operation Epstein’s Fury?

Absolutely no one: MAGA Americans: The best way to liberate the Iranian people from their government is by bombing those civilians out of existence. American Empire is cooked.
