On Monday, I will officially file my petitions to get on the ballot. But I want to take a second to highlight the work we’ve been doing to get here.

This is what a people-powered, community-focused campaign looks like: youtu.be/HUWZl22Pp3k

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

We’re about to enter our LAST WEEK of our livestream fundraising experiment.

I wanted to prove that campaign fundraising can be fun and transparent instead of being reliant on rich people.

ICYMI, here’s how it’s been going:

Ever think about how the 'left' won with public opinion on Palestine without a single mainstream media outlet or one billionare on our side? I bet some people are thinking about this and how to make sure it never happens again.

But it will.

It's always going to happen.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER

In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

Looking forward to seeing folks soon at the NWS ICE Emergency Response Town Hall! This will be a great opportunity to learn how you can get involved in standing up for your neighbors.

Happening at Roosevelt High School at the top of the hour!

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are.

We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away.

We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”
