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.

Illinois follows the law — we expect the federal government to follow the law, too.

We won't participate in abuses of power.
We won't violate court orders.
We won't ignore the Constitution.
We won't defy the Supreme Court.
We won't take away people’s right to peacefully protest.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Found this interesting: After all those stories of people fleeing NYC during the pandemic, NYC had the largest population increase from July 1, 2023 to 2024. It gained 87,184 new people — more than twice as many as the No. 2 city, Houston.

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich.
