Grateful to the 40th Ward Neighbors and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, @catsharpforcook.bsky.social and @andrefor40th.bsky.social among others for speaking at the vigil this evening.
We will not be silent. We will keep caring for each other and fighting back against this fascist violence together.

Today, @robertpeters.bsky.social and I joined Chicagoans across the city in rallying against Trump’s unilateral imperialist “regime change” bombing of Venezuela as a pretext for capitalizing from their oil. We need to not repeat the atrocities of the past.

As if the Spinners song wasn't cool enough, he had that colonizer hoodie on and showed love to that adorable dog. 🐶 🤎 I love living in my neighborhood but I wish he was our alderman ALL the time. His whole team is dope AF.
A look back at a year of so many moments! Many thanks to all of those who were a part of them and who organized with us during some unprecedented and challenging times as well.
2026, here we come!

I scooped up a bunch of my second dog's fur from a couch, shaped it into a heart and framed it. Only time in 9 years I was glad she shed all the time. Been in this frame 11 years. Got a 3rd dog (short-haired, way sneakier) but always a piece of my heart will be w/ no. 1 and no. 2. Happy New Year! 🎇

I live in a different ward. But someone on your team was so incredibly helpful that I immediately jumped to support your ward whenever I can. 🤜🏾🤛🏾 If you recall my Yelp review, you know who I'm talking about.
I'm sorry to hear about your 🐶, especially as a Wag! Walker and 3x dog owner. 💔

When opportunity knocks, it’s still up to you to answer the door.
One opportunity changed my life, and the choices I have made since have brought me to this point.
Thank you to everyone who has ever been a part of my growth and who has put in the work to get us here. WE did this!

Defund CPD to Defund CPL is quite the story arc.
I’m old enough to remember “I won’t cut the CPD Budget by one cent” once MBJ made the runoff.
Defunding Libraries under Fascism is **not** fighting against Trump. But hey #lipservice has its benefits.
#ProgressiveBudget though, am I right?

Meanwhile Mayor Johnson’s budget - you know, the “progressive one” that “taxes the rich” to give to CPD inflates that budget to over HALF of our total corporate fund. And continues to borrow to pay off misconduct settlements.

I know so many great people who are doing so much. If you are isolated from people who are trying their best, I can understand feeling like no one's doing anything, but really, you just need to find the people who are trying and try with them — or maybe encourage some new folks to try alongside you.

A reminder: Gregory Bovino may be gone and a bunch of his men aren't here anymore but Border Patrol is still in Chicagoland, randomly stopping folks at Home Depots and chasing people through the snow.
