"There are some pressing issues facing this commission at this time, like ending pretextual traffic stops, finishing the unfinished work of rooting out organized white supremacy from within the police department, and facing down the repression being doled out by the Trump regime.

Alonzo Franklin was wrongfully convicted in 1995, and has fought for years in court to introduce gun residue evidence to prove his innocence. FREE ALONZO FRANKLIN! FREE THEM ALL!

Use the script on slide two to call in and build the pressure on Pritzker to do what’s right, and comment on this post when you’ve called. Justice delayed is justice denied!

If Pritkzer is serious about being the progressive he likes to present himself as, he needs to get to work!

CALLS NEEDED to demand Gov. Pritzker move on clemency petitions collecting dust on his desk. Alonzo Franklin is just one of 100s of wrongfully convicted petitioners waiting for the governor to make a ruling.

In this moment, they are killing us, we’re not killing them.

They’re capitulating by focusing their response to this assassination by condemning political violence as a general concept, divorced from the reality that we presently face, which is one of unchecked power for the ultra-right.

It is clear that the corporate media, the Democrats, and unfortunately some forces in the progressive people’s movement are capitulating instead of fighting back.

But the point I want to make is about their use of the same tactics and strategies for creating a moral and political climate conducive to political terrorism.

"Historically the only thing I think that we can compare this with is the burning of the Reichstag in Germany right before Hitler took power. That is not to say that I think that the fascist movement in Germany and the Trump-led movement in the United States are historical twins.

Deranged figures like Kristi Noem and Donald Trump have their eyes on Illinois and Cook County, we must also have our eyes on ICE.

Trump has now threatened to deploy the National Guard across all "blue" states, targeting Chicago next. We are joining forces with the national chapters of the Alliance to showcase the power of our movement and fight the waves of repression coming from the racist and reactionary ruling class.

After a standoff with a staffer from Burke’s office resulted in threats of arrests, it became clear that even local officials are reluctant to oppose ICE’s terrorism.
