If you were outraged by this👇

Then you must also be outraged & demand Platner leave the Senate race just as you called for R’s in the group chat to be fired.

#democrats be consistent

& @jenpsaki.msnbc.com own up that you were wrong supporting Planter just as you hold R’s accountable

As you should. Truly a good person. As is the Juliana Stratton, Lt Gov running for Durbin's senate seat.

& by the way this happened during a rally we were having for federal workers, including EPA staff who have been fired for speaking up & sharing what is happening in the agency.

#Miller caught saying the truth out loud.
This is the game plan.
We must speak out & protect our #democracy & communities.

Also take 🗒️:
This is great use of social media. Share widely.

Context for folks who have never been to #Chicago's South Shore.

This is South Shore Cultural Center👇. It is a personal fav of mine.

Formally segregated private country club, closed to Jews & African Americans.
City of Chicago bought it 1975 & renovated it & opened it to the community.

The South Shore of #Chicago is a neighborhood near Lake Michigan. This apartment building is ~1 mile from the South Shore Cultural Center & very close to the new Obama Library.

The day after the Fed's overnight raid, the investors were in court trying to acquire the building. 👇

And for folks who don’t know #Chicago this is just down the road from one of the most beautiful public buildings in Chicago the South Shore Cultural Center.

Imagine this happening in your community. Everyone should be outraged!!

Great week at #climateweekNYC

Among best parts @ayanaeliza.bsky.social speaking to mayors, including our bi-national #GreatLakes mayors insisting on urgent action & noting the roles cities can play leading the way forward to build #sustainable & vibrant communities.

#NewYorkTimes she did not "leave" JFK tried to "fire" her but does not have the authority. US Senate confirmed her only president can fire her which he has not done yet.

She, per her attorney, has not resigned.

Correct your headline right now!
