Happy Veterans Day!
Thank a vet today. They deserve all our gratitude. 🥰

SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.

But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

😳

Love this energy.

This was my favorite movie as a kid. Tears and joy - what I was brought up to believe was the America I lived in.

And yesterday a woman is kidnapped from a daycare center by racist clowns masquerading as cops. WTAF?!?
It makes me so sad and terrified for our country…

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Yes JB!

Good night peeps, sweet dreams.

The Trump shutdown cut off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits this weekend, leaving millions of families short of what they need to put food on the table.

If you have the means, one thing you can do to help is donate to a local food bank. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Yes!!! 🤩

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

Love everything about this.
Going to share this will all my small business owners this week. 🥰

I need this. 😍

In case you didn’t hear about it. The ad has excerpts from this address.
Reagan said what he said.
And he wasn’t wrong…

This one might be my favorite image from #NoKings. 🤩😆

I know this entire movie by heart.
One of my favorites as a kid…and oh what a message that rings true now!

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Caturday meets No Kings day.

So proud to be a Chicagoan 🥰

HAPPENING NOW — Thousands gathered in Chicago’s Grant Park for the “No Kings” rally before marching through the streets of downtown Chicago.

Chicago joins cities across the country in today’s action condemning the President Donald Trump administration.

🎥: The TRiiBE

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

I LOVE ALL OF THIS.

Look at this turnout in Charlotte! #NoKings (via Marco Foster/Threads)

Robert Reich Why No Kings Day 2.0 Is Even More Important

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mz_nlRrp_tM

On Oct. 18th, we’re showing up in YELLOW to make clear to President Trump and his billionaire allies that the power belongs to the people, and WE THE PEOPLE say: In America, we don’t have kings. We never will!
