ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t.

We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people.

Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Something bad is happening in NC.Our #NCGA is trying to pass a Permit-less Conceal Carry Law.So people will conceal caring a gun with no training & possibly no background checks! Scary! Also they are lowering the age to conceal carry to 18! Bonkers!

Food for thought 🤔. Please spend a minute or so listening as the Congresswoman from MI describes the stated reasons for & impacts of proposed cuts to SNAP (food stamps) benefits for hungry children and seniors. Then call your elected representatives to inform them of your views on the topic.
