Always a good thing when the racists lose.
Doesn’t stop them from being racist- it just mitigates a little bit of the harm they are hellbent on inflicting on our nation’s most vulnerable and disenfranchised.

Loved visiting the XCHANGE- they are completely demand driven, and creating high wage, high skill tech jobs on the south side, for South side residents.
For any businesses looking to bring jobs back onshore, and support families committed to our city, please let them know!

There is one person in the world that I’ll be eternally grateful that they were anti-DEI:
Epstein
Have you noticed that in millions of pages of Epstein files, there is nothing but white people?

Arne, you're a Chicagoan. You know it all too well. Another day ending in a y, there must be another mass shooting. (Gang violence or otherwise.) It sucks. I was in London during the riots a few years ago. I felt safe because of the lack of guns.

The Epstein Administration is all in it together.
They participated together, and now they all cover up for each other, together.
It literally defines their character- it is who they are as human beings.

Remarkable faith and education leaders in Minneapolis are coming together to support children, their families and schools as they try to survive the ICE occupation.
It is an incredibly difficult, dangerous and sad time, but the resolve and resilience of everyone I met there truly moved me.

Had a powerful visit to Minneapolis today, to spend time listening to education and faith based leaders who are fighting to protect our children from ICE.
Their stories of ICE abuses were truly horrifying, and the courage being shown by the community profoundly moved me.
Love is stronger than hate!

If we believe we share a common humanity, then we have to be all in this, together!
In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Just a reminder that the UC system was not a party in this litigation. Faculty, staff and the @aaup.org fought on their own. UCLA, and the entire UC system, should be ashamed of themselves, and their leaders should be reminded of their submissives every day.

Very clear statement by the judge!
Another major loss for Trump in his obsessive, petty and very dangerous war of retribution and revenge against everyone who dares to stand up to him, and stand up for our country’s democracy.

V.

Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiclbgaenrhgnor6zvmnfql4d3olwzqp7zikm3maum5ylc4m6epys4@jpeg)

Love is stronger than hate.
Courage is stronger than cowardice.
Community is stronger than a lawless gang.
This represents the beginning of the end of Trump.
In the history books, ICE will be relegated to the same page as the slave catchers and Bull Conner.
