Evanston native Miracle Jenkins suspended his campaign for the Illinois 9th Congressional District, endorsing Skokie-based candidate Bushra Amiwala in a campaign missive Sunday afternoon. — Reported by @Marisa_G_Ech

To all my Jewish friends and neighbors, Happy Rosh Hashanah! May this year bring a renewed sense of peace, hope and joy.

“No one will fight for the working class as hard as Bushra Amiwala” Thrilled to be endorsed by @MiracleJenkins, a true advocate for progressive values in this community, who has suspended his campaign for IL-9 and is consolidating efforts behind my campaign.

NEW: IL9 candidate Miracle Jenkins is dropping out of the primary to endorse Bushra Amiwala of Skokie Jenkins is the first candidate from the field of 18+ to officially pull out of the March 17 primary

After weeks of seemingly endless growth, the field for IL-9's open Congressional seat just shrunk by one, as Miracle Jenkins has dropped out and endorsed @bushraamiwala.bsky.social.

Hundreds of peaceful protesters and I got tear-gassed at the ICE Broadway facility this morning - this is what your taxpayer dollars are being used for

Another selective abuse of the free speech. Fascists will use any excuse to take more control, and it always starts in media.

The U.N. has determined what we already knew: Israel is committing a genocide backed by the full support of the U.S. government. An ethnic cleansing we have the power to stop, but refuse to. We must stop all military aid to Israel and demand reparations.

Happy National Voter Registration Day- register to vote at vote.gov

The murder of Trey Reed on the Delta State campus today is absolutely heartbreaking and enraging. We are in 2025… and a LYNCHING is an example of the violence and hate black Americans face to this day. We need to call this as it is and hold the murderers accountable. www.wapt.com/article/delt...

if you come in contact with ICE, call the ICIRR hotline and here is exactly what you should inform them about - share with someone who may not know this www.ICIRR.org

When we organize, we win. And fascists back down.

Thanks! And we’ve been hosting Know Your Rights Trainings, Canvasses at vulnerable local businesses and Rapid Response Groups since early February…

The death in Franklin Park today is a tragedy. An unlawful invasion that now has casualties. Stay safe you all, and DON’T engage with ICE agents. If you don’t feel safe protesting, proactive modes of protest, such as educating people on their rights, is impactful www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

This is huge. I’m honored to earn the endorsement from Northside Democracy for America. NDFA is Chicago’s longest-standing democratic organization advancing progressive, grassroots and local principles for the past 30+ years.

The murder of Charlie Kirk and the tragic shootings in Colorado remind us that violence is becoming far too common in America. Political violence is disgusting and has no place in this country.

An occupation, a genocide, and the continuous illegal bombing of sovereign nations. Israel has caused countless bloodshed and ignored international law while bankrolled by the U.S. every step of the way. End all military aid to Israel now

why the release of the Epstien Files matter in less than 30 seconds #politics #simplified

disgusted by ICE continuing to raid our city know your rights. share to save a friend.

ICE is ramping up operations in Chicago and likely bordering suburbs. I am in contact with rapid response groups and will continue to make sure my community has all the resources it needs. We have to fight back.

Donald Trump has declared war with the city of Chicago. Remember your rights and that Illinois has a law that has protections in place to prevent ICE officers from collaborating with local police forces

Declaring war on a US city is nothing to joke about. Armed soldiers have no place on our streets. And neither does ICE. They will not make us safer, and their presence will only stoke fear. SIDE note: ICE agents are wearing uniforms saying “police.” They are not police.

Absolutely no to authoritarianism, fascism, ICE and the national guard in our backyard.

the largest tech layoffs in history, tariff related layoffs, but ICE is hiring…. the unemployment crisis of the United States

These women are heroes coming forward to hold the wealthy and powerful accountable. Epstein is a story of abuse, but also of his wealthy social group that allowed it to happen. We must hold them all accountable. apple.news/AhOOj64u5R6u...

Thank you @bushraamiwala.bsky.social sky.social for signing the #termlimits on Congress pledge. www.termlimits.com/wp-content/u...

shoutout Labor Movement for weekends off, paid time off, sick days and child labor laws

how an increase in public education can result in more equitably funded schools and save Americans thousands annually in property taxes #BooksNotBombs

ever wonder why every modern country in the world offers healthcare to everyone that lives there and … why we don’t?

Two children have lost their lives, families impacted, so many lives shattered. My prayers are with Minneapolis and I am heartbroken.

The Chicago Tribune just recognized me as one of the top candidates in IL-09 (in a race with 20 people!) Excited to keep meeting people across our district, showing why our campaign is ready to deliver real representation, and learn what people care about.

IL-9 is home to the largest Assyrian community in the state, and it was a gift to have celebrated at the Assyrian Food Festival in Morton Grove top issues to come up: property taxes and education

Trump’s plan to send the National guard to Chicago is pathetic and a waste of federal funds that could be used in a myriad of more responsible ways Know your rights. Whether it’s Trump’s ICE or the National Guard

Meet and Greet #73 was one of our largest ones yet - we had 150 people come join us on a Thursday evening in the far west side of the district. Want to host our next one? You provide the people, we will provide the space: [email protected]

Wont be swayed by specialist interest lobbyists. In ‘17/‘18, Bushra was offered special (50k)-from a super PAC to trash an opponent. SHE DECLINED. Most honorable decision I’ve ever seen in politics. #IL09 @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Should be interviewing THIS Gen-Z candidate! She lives here too!

bushra amiwala, usa’s first gen-z elected official, also a rogers park/skokie’er like me, is throwing her hat in the ring to take over schakowsky’s spot. i voted for her back then and i’ll vote for her again.

Back to School Season is an exciting time for many reasons, including: new beginnings and new school supplies ✏️ I had an amazing time volunteering with ICNA Relief again this year, for their annual backpack drive, where we provided backpacks for 600+ families!

Happy Pakistan Independence Day! IL-9 is home to the one of the largest Pakistani Communities in the United States, and I was honored to walk in the annual parade on Devon Avenue, reconnecting with so many of you 🇵🇰

It was an honor to meet with Northside Democracy for America tonight to share about my campaign and candidacy for IL-9! It was great to meet so my friends, and people who signed up to join our petition kick off this Saturday on 8/16! DM for details to join 💪🏽📋
