Rep. Maxwell Frost: Donald Trump shut down the government because he’d rather do that than make sure people can actually afford health care. He wants people to pay more for it because that frees up money in the federal budget to give billionaires another tax break. That’s what’s happening.

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. nokings.org

Remember? Remember? It wasn't in the criminal's best interest and he had a meeting to stop it. That meeting was against the law. Surprise.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.
