Chicago said NO KINGS. NO TYRANTS. NO TRUMP. NO TROOPS.

CTU members stood ten toes down with over 300,000 people demanding democracy, not dictatorship.

When Trump sends troops into our neighborhoods, attacks our schools, and targets Black, Brown, and immigrant communities,we rise in unity.

Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued.

Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially.

Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.

An important piece of context to the Boston mayorโ€™s race: the $5.5 million Josh Kraft spent to fund his campaign represents just 0.04% of his dadโ€™s $13.8 billion fortune.
