Huge crowds today in IL! Everyone around me was peaceful and kind. There was a feeling of collective relief to see so many others willing to stand up and speak out for democracy and against fascism. There may be hope for us all.

You are my hero!

You see the peril in our country.

You know democracy is in danger.

You post about it daily.

The good news is that YOU can save us, and volunteering for elections is the most effective use of your time—far more effective than posting.

And Prop 50 is the most important race rn. 🧵

Thank you for sharing! I knew it was bad, but this is worse than I thought. I just hope you can get your daughter the care she needs, notwithstanding the nightmare we’re going through as a country. I’ll keep you and those with similar struggles in my thoughts.

12-3 3 days a week? That’s absurd and inexcusable. Gross negligence being inflicted on people whose lives are on the line. It’s just cruel.

✨ Meet Izzy. At 16, he’s already a fierce advocate. Living with autism, Medicaid gives him the care to thrive, go to school, and live his best life.
Families like Izzy’s shouldn’t have to fight for care, yet Trump’s cuts put kids at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Violent Illinois State Pigs shoving faith leaders, community organizers, and peaceful citizens protesting ICE. This happened at the Broadview, IL, ICE facility this morning.

I hate Illinois Nazis. 😡

We’re crowdfunding for @eji.org, a charitable org dedicated to “ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.”

tiktok.com/@thisisawkword

The United States incarcerates its citizens more than any other country. Mass incarceration disproportionately impacts the poor and people of color and does not make us safer. EJI is working to end our misguided reliance on over-incarceration.

The U.S. has 5% of the world’s population but nearly 25% of its incarcerated population.

Our spending on jails and prisons reached $87 billion in 2015, an increase of 1000% from the $7.4 billion spent in 1975.

In 1972, there were only 200,000 people incarcerated in the United States. Today that number has grown to 2.2 million.

Trump blames Democrats for “violence” while unleashing untrained thugs who drop their guns, aim at bystanders for filming, and terrorize immigrants just trying to work. These Gestapo tactics must end.

This was in Maryland.

First Trump hiked grocery prices with reckless tariffs.
Then Republicans cut food assistance for millions.
Now Trump is canceling the annual hunger report.

He’s trying to hide the truth: Trump made food more expensive for all of us.

Trump administration cancels annual hunger report after enacting historic cuts to nation’s safety net | CNN

The Trump administration is terminating the federal government’s annual report on food insecurity in America, saying it had become “redundant, costly and politicized” and noting that “extraneous studies do nothing more than fear monger.”

How do I know Republicans really don't care if working and middle class Americans get sick and die?

Because I SEE WHAT THEY DO.

$20k per year increase!? No thanks!

The Democratic bill addresses the Republican healthcare crisis by reversing catastrophic healthcare cuts and permanently extending ACA tax credits.

Meanwhile, Rs would rather shut the government down than keep healthcare affordable.

Remember that new study?

Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests…

And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news:

That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

US justice department removes study finding far-right extremists commit ‘far more’ violence

Report finding rightwing extremists have killed more Americans than other domestic terrorist groups vanished from DoJ website

I don’t watch a lot of late night comedy, but I watched tonight. Jimmy Kimmel had intense pressure on his shoulders to make the most of his high-profile return. He rose to the occasion with courage, grace and, of course, humor. He made me feel a glimmer of hope for the future of this country.

A phenomenal monologue by Jimmy Kimmel tonight.

Funny, emotional, honest, informative, inspiring.

Trump tried to take Kimmel down and it appears that he only made him stronger.
