The far-right weirdos who say we have no obligation to care for one another are in the minority.

Most people don’t want our government to suddenly stop feeding the hungry.

Most people want to live in a society where we care for, and feed, each other.

Yes, the government should feed us
What's the point of living in a society if not to care for one another?

This morning, ICE officers abducted a Chicago teacher from the daycare where she works. “One might call it domestic terrorism, and it would be correct," Alderperson Andre Vasquez said at a press conference held today with other local leaders.

"Like housed immigrants ... who have been forced to miss work and forgo trips to the grocery store, unhoused [people] have lost access to life-sustaining resources because of the danger posed by ICE and other federal agents."
"[A]bductions of unhoused Chicagoans [are] difficult to verify and track."

"[A]bductions by federal agents are not separate from the city's approach to encampment sweeps but rather a continuation of it."

Abductions by federal immigration agents follow recent city-sponsored evictions of homeless residents from public parks.

“They didn’t give them a chance to even put clothes on their kids,” she said."

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

you probably shouldn't let what commentators like Ezra Klein say be the limit of your imagination or determine what you think is politically possible. He doesn't have a clue what is possible.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District.

And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary.

Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million.

In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million.

We just passed three.
