Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.

I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.

ICYMI: It's time someone prosecuted ICE and CBP agents, so I decided to do something about it.
I mentioned a couple of days ago that I am finished watching this government arrest Black journalists as lawless federal agents shoot innocent unarmed people in the street.

Before they did this to Minneapolis and Portland, they did it in Chicago in Operation Midway Blitz. (Cont)

Seems painfully obvious Trump will ignore all of these. #AbolishICE

Also— the murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti were on camera. Yes body cameras are good but that has not stopped them.

I've been representing protesters pro bono since Trump 1.0. In that time, I've represented protesters against the Muslim ban, ICE, trans bans, DEI bans, genocide in Occupied Palestine, police brutality, and more.

Want to know why more people don't protest? Here's why.

One demotion cannot detract from accountability.

Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

🥶🧂 Fun fact: It’s even too cold for salt to do its job! When temps get below about 15°F, extra salt won’t melt ice and it just washes into our waterways. Shovel first, use sand for traction, and stay safe out there!
