Had a checkup at an oncology clinic (I’m fine!), and made sure to wear my Chicago tee with my People Are People bag.

Small, quiet acts of resistance when going out.

One lady, clearly fighting cancer, told me, “it’s shameful what they’re doing. They’re making us sicker.”

We've heard this one before..."We're going to get rid of the ACA and replace it with something better." They'll just never tell you what that is. And they'll let the government stay shut down in the meantime. Enough already. Fund the Affordable Care Act. End the shutdown. #MomSky

ICE is out of control in Chicago and lying about all of it.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

These maps expire in 2030. Prop 50 preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reaffirms the California Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census. #YesOnProp50

The disabled need more help!

They often can't get their needs met without assistance

Tell your Congressmen to do the right thing!

Ms. Lonnie🦋🩵🫂 @lonsj.bsky.social · 1d

Please support the disabled!

They need help

.@repmikelawler @gillibrandny @SenSchumer The rights of students with disabilities are under attack. Gutting OSERS means less enforcement of IDEA & fewer supports for millions. Congress must act now to protect OSERS and uphold disability rights! #IDEA

Jason Houser, former ICE Chief of Staff: “This Isn’t Crisis Response. It’s Crisis Construction.”

"Immigration enforcement has become the administration’s primary political weapon — not to solve problems, but to manufacture fear, provoke outrage and stage an illusion of control."
