We send our sincere condolences to the family & friends of Rep Hoa Nguyen. Thank you for being such a bright light in this world, standing your ground on your convictions.

Hoa loved working people & we loved her. She stood up for the underdogs & was a fighter until the end.

Today’s act of resistance and self care was uploading receipts/expenses to the HSA so that I can pay for out of pocket medical expenses pre tax.

They've really trying to go to 11 in Chicago!

They want violence and they aren't even trying to hide it now.

Anita zx @omi684.bsky.social · 4d

Chicago is under siege. Masked federal agents are roaming the city—grabbing people off the streets, arresting public officials, attacking peaceful protesters, and tear-gassing cops. I was back on NewsNation this morning asking: who’s going to protect the people of Chicago from ICE?

This regime is employing domestic terrorists.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 5d

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.
