Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

You're a warrior for free speech and democracy. Any chance you'll promote NoKings 2? Talk about it on WTF and everywhere else.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

Be Loud β€” For America By Governor JB Pritzker

β€œOur country has survived darker periods… but that only happened because good people refused to stay silent…. So I’m asking you, my fellow Americans across the nation: instead of being bystanders, be upstanders for our democracy.”

With Trump, the American people’s costs are going up, his tariffs, their electric bills, the decimation of health care.

The American people want change, butΒ the Republican bill is the status quo.

And Trump is ready to shut down the government over it.

@tletts.bsky.social check out indivisible.org. I love them because they provide instructions about simple things that we can do - that matter. Every voice counts. I beg you to use your platform to do what I've suggested and carry the message to everyone in your sphere.

@tletts.bsky.social If we don't we may not make it to the next election and there will be no voting. We have power. We can call our elected officials and tell them what we want them to do. We assume they know but that's not the case. They represent us and need to know what we think and what we want.

@tletts.bsky.social I heard you on Maron. I think it absolutely makes a difference to go out to the street and carry a sign. We need massive numbers of people to show up physically with their bodies so that 47 and his minions can see the resistance. Just sayin'.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

Too many things all at once. Tonight is the kickoff call for No Kings 2. Not to mention that we should be in the streets screaming our head off over this FCC bs.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I've had the privilege of working alongside Governor Cox through @natlgovsassoc.bsky.social and appreciate his calling for moral clarity at a time of uncertainty.

Grateful law enforcement apprehended the alleged suspect β€” there must be a full investigation ensuring accountability and justice.

I’ve been at these protests because I feel like our leaders don’t care. I do.

This feels ghoulish to ask, but if you want a congresswoman who stands up to ICE, donate to my campaign today. We can’t win without you: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky

Anyway if there's a journalist out there who wants to talk about what the last two days of death threats have been like, I'm game. I even have some of the death threats to show you still.

They've been doing stops all over this area for days

We collected evidence and sources, we even forwarded to other reporters with big newsroom resources because we are underwater as just two people, just had no time for write-up on larger pattern

No one listened

And now a man is dead

I don't know if I can describe going through 48 hours of literally, no hyperbole, getting a death threat every single minute, my phone ringing with death threats nonstop until I put it on silent and then seeing a new voicemail notification every thirty seconds with another one,

I am aware of the troubling incident that has unfolded in Franklin Park.

This is a developing situation and the people of Illinois deserve a full, factual accounting of what’s happened today to ensure transparency and accountability.
