That’s great that even Kat’s political opponents are standing up for her (and our) 1st Amendment rights. #Resist

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

How can these people live with themselves, not caring about how the families involved, many living paycheck to paycheck. And now republicans are making healthcare options unaffordable. How long before people have had enough. That’s probably what they want so Trump can invoke the insurrection act.

It’s amazing to me that many people approve of him. Brainwashing propaganda at work.

This change in mail service needs to be shared widely. USPS will stop evening mail pickups from post offices more than 50 miles from a regional processing facility & will be postmarked/delivered at least 1 day later than before. Voters mailing a ballot close to the election could be disenfranchised.

Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office.

Your ballot or other mail may not get postmarked by USPS the day it's dropped off

Stay strong Kat - we applaud your bravery against these fascist monsters. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 #Resist

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This interview of Mamdani on a subway among ordinary New Yorkers sums up what he stands for & why we need him to win: tax the 1% & corporations more & treat people with respect. It’s a winning message. Oligarchs are throwing millions at this race to stop him. We must not let them buy the election.

I rode the 1 train with Linsey Davis on the way to our ABC News interview yesterday, and talked about how in the wealthiest city in the world we can't simply accept that people have to sleep on the streets or the subways.

It's not a question of resources. It's a question of political will.

Sadly, the Trump govt will not direct any emergency funds toward SNAP. The USDA notice says: “Bottom line, the well has run dry.”

The well hasn’t run dry; there’s plenty of water in the well; but it is being diverted to benefit the wealthy who need it the least.

Talk about tone deaf! Now we learn this gaudy Trump ballroom (where he & his rich cronies will celebrate their grifting & plot evil schemes against us) will dwarf what remains of the people’s house. Shameful. Who the hell are these people who still support Trump?

And with most lower-level jobs, no humanity whatsoever - no consideration of requested time off for family or other obligations, no sick leave unless mandated by law, etc. Treating people without monetary resources like shit. And yet, so many voted for republicans & Trump. Mind boggling.

Grokipedia is yet another source of evil, racist, right-wing propaganda to brainwash susceptible people. My God. The Grokipedia entry for slavery in the US includes “ideological justifications” for slavery, including the “Shift from Necessary Evil to Positive Good.” WTF.

A little light amidst all the darkness - Ukrainian drones hit Moscow & strategic airbases/airports. Ukraine also hit the Belgorod dam causing it to leak water, which cut off Russian forces near Vovchansk from the main body of their army. #SlavaUkraini

Does anyone doubt that Trump’s supposed foot condition was fabricated to keep him out of the military draft?Just like the reports he hired someone to take the SAT for him. And now this charlatan grifter is our fucking president.

Wow, we lifted key restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles in russia? It appears Trump doesn’t really care who wins, he just wants the spoils once the victor is determined. Ukraine should take full advantage of the opportunity before Trump talks to Putin & changes his mind again…
