I agree with Mike, Mitch McConnell is largely responsible for where this country is today. Without him there might be a better Supreme Court, without his understanding of the threat of Trump, we might have removed the SOB after he was impeached. So fuck you Mitch. I hope you rot.

One of my β€œprogressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called β€œprogressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

#OTD in 1964, my father was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He reminded the world that nonviolence is not weakness; it is moral strength, transforming hate into hope and despair into progress.

If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

If you’re able, please help us support our neighbors: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Zohran on stage at the rally.

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.
