Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Words mean nothing when the results of the policy decisions leave us speechless. Elections have consequences 🤷🏿♂️
President Donald Trump promises clean water for every American, but his latest budget eviscerates federal funding to replace toxic lead pipes, filter out forever chemicals and keep sewage out of lakes and streams.
President Donald Trump promises clean water. His proposed budget guts needed protections.
Illinois’ share of clean water grants to states would dip to $11 million next year, compared with $105.5 million this year.

This is a threat to everyone, including lawful and natural born citizens. Without due process ICE can do that to ANYONE they so choose!
Unlawful ICE raids are

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I have a better idea. How about give real property tax relief to all Cook County property owners?
With some residents facing record-high increases to their property taxes, Cook County commissioners las week approved giving one-time payments of $1,000 to a limited number of households struggling the most.
Cook County to give $1,000 to some homeowners struggling with big property tax hikes

In a society that is truly based on meritocracy, no one would be excluded intentionally or unintentionally based on gender. However, history has demonstrated that we don't live in a meritocracy, so we must continue the work to build a true one. Happy International Women's day 🫶🏿
Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.
