Breaking News: Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois signed a bill that restricts immigration enforcement near state courthouses and makes it easier to sue ICE agents.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

More of this !!

"I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year...the line wraps around the building a second time..Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold..."

More of this nationwide please!

"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"

I don’t consider ICE to be a law-enforcement organization. I consider them to be an organized crime syndicate. Nothing more, nothing less.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws. But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them. ICE must go. End of discussion.

The only reason to have the military in D.C. is to increase tensions and antagonize people to the point they over-react, creating "justification" for increasing crackdowns on innocent people. It's all a con.

...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

You know who my rural farming and mining great-grandparent's loved? FDR. The New Deal. Bring it back.

This young man has it exactly right.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

People💙I agree with every single word this woman says about the decrepit, blighted, bloated, orange grease ball 🤣 This dude, truly despises women of a whole!! He’s an uncouth brash man that abuses women! What a Nasty piece of trash he is🤨who gave birth to such man #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man. They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence. Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice. Enough.

Every single GOP vote was for politics and for preserving their jobs. They had 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 to do with compassion for those victims, or for the everyday safety of women in general.

Terrific

It was an honor for MK and me to meet with Pope Leo XIV – a son of Illinois – to express the pride and reverence of the people of this great state. Pope Leo XIV’s message of hope, compassion, unity, and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faiths and traditions.

Starved Rock State Park is one of Illinois’ many natural treasures, where families can go to enjoy the great outdoors.

In the last 48 hours as you’ve watched the way that Donald Trump has spoken to women on camera for the world to see publicly, you can only imagine the way that he spoke to the victims behind closed doors

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst". But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record. It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

"Hell no. We don't agree w/ each other about finance, we don't agree w/ each other about immigration, we don't agree w/ each other on foreign affairs – but by God, we can agree we don't want to be ruled by a hand full of rich men who think they're better than the rest of us."

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday. The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees. Here’s my advice for ICEstapo: Take a night off. Go to the movies. Watch “Nuremberg”. Your time is coming.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Michelle Is 💯 Correct. America Will Never Achieve It's Best Outcomes, Until We Elect More Democratic Women, Including As President.......

Chicago moms and teachers created a “walking school bus” to safely escort kids to school to support parents afraid to leave their homes. ❤️‍🩹 🚌 ❤️‍🩹

The White MAGA "strong men" become scared whiny little babies when their fear of losing power shows.

Congress just killed the 28 billion dollar THC and hemp market. Alcohol lobbyists getting their money’s worth.
