After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

“I find the deployment of National Guard is likely to lead to civil unrest,” That's exactly what Shitler wants. He's building his case to use the military to block the 2026 mid-terms, which he knows he'll lose.

Judge blocks Trump from deploying troops in Illinois for now
Officials in Oregon and Illinois had challenged the Trump administration’s push to dispatch the National Guard in both states, but judges questioned the move.

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

🚨🚨🚨 Trump has called for the ARREST of Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. Listen for his “reasoning.” And share because this is weaponization of authority to control political dissidents. 1/2

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Of course he did. Trump’s entire business strategy has always rested on short changing workers and businesses. That’s why he declared bankruptcy 6 times & why small businesses he’s dealt with all over the country are still waiting to be paid years later. #NoKings

This is the pretext for what they want to do. To get us used to the military on our streets. Screw them.
