Great day to show what you believe in. Speak your truth. Show you are prepared to fight against authoritarian rule. If you’re marching, having a teach-in,organizing, or resting for future battles, do it with the conviction that we will not give in, that we stand on the side of justice.And stay safe.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

We are not a monarchy. We are a constitutional democracy.

Let the world hear loud and clear today: America will never have a king.

THIS IS WHY WE MARCH…

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive overnight, it creeps in while we stay silent.

The window to use our voice is closing.

✨Tracy Letts's Closet Picks!✨ The playwright and actor praises DO THE RIGHT THING as the best film of the eighties, talks about the comfort of watching his favorite westerns, and selects Chicago cinema classics like HOOP DREAMS and LOVE JONES. ✨ You can see Tracy next in Kathryn Bigelow's HOUSE OF DYNAMITE on @netflix and FX's THE LOWDOWN. On the Criterion Channel, watch William Friedkin's BUG (2006), a searing psychological thriller adapted by Tracy from his own hit play!
