We can't count on good fortune to raise $1800 for Bobby's housing and travel costs. We need them before he leaves UCLA for Utah -- we're going to have to pull together to make it work!

Grab your credit card and chip in $10, $27, $50, $100 or more to really make this work -- every donation adds up!

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

Matt DeMateo recounts how three U.S. citizens, including a toddler, were tear gassed in Cicero by federal agents.

If the democrats regain power in 26 and 28, they will have to make some very brutal and uncomfortable decisions. I don’t think they can do it, and if they don’t, the country will never come back.

Thank you to our essential healthcare workers!

It’s crazy to watch healthcare workers go from “essential” in 2020 to “unprofessional” in 2025! And the professions are largely female!!

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
