A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

Iโ€™m. So. Tired.

I donโ€™t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf youโ€™re made of. Weโ€™re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Really important to internalize that the president of the United States is ordering troops into major population centers precisely to create violent confrontations, for the sole purpose of intimidating, criminalizing and disabling opposition

Murray: I talked to a family thatโ€™s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. Itโ€™s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for itโ€”obviously, theyโ€™ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.
