I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

According to data, ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records.

ICE isn’t an agency, they are a private army meant to terrorize people of color by the order of a fragile racist wannabe dictator. They are his Gestapo.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy.

Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

I feel this in my bones…

THE AMERICAN WORKER IS ALL OF US. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native, immigrant, union or not. Not the “working class” stereotype.

We built this country. We keep it running. Stop dividing. Start recognizing.

I have a lot to say

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Captured dolphins 💔How stressed and terrified they must be 😢Unacceptable that they are still caught and killed for food or traded for entertainment parks. All animals should be free #AnimalLiberation #AnimalJustice#LiveVegan 🌱🙏✌️ 📍#Japan

The US NatSec Strategy is the formal abdication of 🇺🇸 as beacon and leader of democracy worldwide. Until Europe is able to formulate a European Security Strategy we'll be played by dictators and autocrats like Trump, Putin, Xi etc. Catch my latest right here 👇

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Sweet Jesus Starmer’s here to make the headlines about immigration again. The actual worst politician I’ve ever seen 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I don't have the words for it, but we have to start caring more about people who are killed nonviolently. Mass shootings and bombings and stuff can't be the only ones that matter.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

BREAKING: The Lib Dems 10-minute rule bill to rejoin the customs union has just passed!

After a 100-100 tie the deputy speaker followed convention and cast the deciding vote in favour.

It’s unlikely to get government time so probably won't progress - but indicates strength of feeling on this issue

ICE is out of control. They're operating with impunity. They're doing things and getting away with stuff that regular cops, even your typical federal agents, can't do.

And we're just sitting back and taking it all in why?

ICE must be destroyed.

The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.

Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.

It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.
The Home Office continues to use language that its own data refutes

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.
