Pay attention to Chicago: As Trump's agents continue to manhandle and gas peaceful protesters and journalists alike, a united population is holding the line, documenting these attacks. The facts are getting out. My latest:

Chicago joins the ranks of Thermopylae, Waterloo, Lepanto, and the Normandy beaches
Chicago is now the decisive battleground for American freedom. The crisis is here, it is now, and upon the outcome everything depends.

Here, on Chicago’s streets, America can see the conflict between Donald Trump’s efforts to coerce a great American city into submission & the American people’s determination to be free, to determine our own destiny.

We just want America to be America again.

Make America America again
Every American President knew what Donald Trump does not: that fighting for freedom is core to the American character.

Dozens of Little Village high schoolers walked out of class today to protest immigration raids.

Students held signs reading “My parents fought for my future, now I will fight for theirs,” and “We speak for those who can’t.” blockclubchi.co/431dfqy

If 8% of Americans participated in the No Kings protests, that’s nearly 21 million people — roughly the entire population of Florida. Hell of a turnout, and it explains why MAGA world’s been so panicked about it.

Also, just to be clear, Congress is still getting paid. No one in their families will miss a meal. #theyworkforus.

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:

1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.

2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage.

3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it.

4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

Thanks for this important reminder. Don’t take your eyes of our city. This is ground zero for federal overreach. The only good news is that the people here are doing a helluva job fighting back.

Even when the moments aren’t going viral and therefore recede a bit from national headlines, it’s worth remembering again that the trump administration is still raining a lot of terror down on the chicago area. All the love to the great American city and its surrounding neighborhoods

I’ve been saying for a long time that Democrats should be holding press conferences in front of the White House daily. Now they should be holding press conferences daily in front of the destruction of the East Wing.

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

I do sometimes get annoyed by screaming headlines and understand they can seem a little off putting.

This, however, is an informative fact-based discussion on the reality of the numbers behind the administration’s actions.
