Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

I support presidents who faithfully execute the duties of their office, upholding the constitution and laws of this democracy, while guiding their own actions with morality, intelligence, competence and compassion for all the people .

We are seeing the dangerous weaponization of our criminal justice system — from Comey to AG James in NY.

We have a president who leads through fear. But we need to bring people together. I’m grateful to the local organizers across our state who are doing this important work.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.
