So disappointed that Sen Tammy Duckworth didn’t add her voice to the ‘don’t follow illegal orders’ video.

Say it with me and pass your viewpoint on to your followers:

"neither Trump nor anyone else involved in perpetrating crimes against the [Epstein] survivors should be protected. The survivors deserve at least that measure of justice."

Why is @govpritzker.illinois.gov allowing the State Police to act against citizens exercising their 1st Amendment rights? Deeply disappointed and angry at being duped by the strong talk.

I spent the day doing errands, riding the 74 Kimball bus and the Brown Line. I witnessed, and experienced, dozens of small acts of kindness. My neighbors, under so much stress, remain kind. 🩵Chicago

I was in Spirit Halloween the other day, sporting a Trump Must Go Now button on my phone lanyard. The clerk checking me out gasped a little and then smiled. She said, “I saw the Trump on your button, but then I saw your whistle and I knew you were okay.”
Chicago is the best.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

I am a 74 yo white woman & I am marching in Chicago this Saturday. Every march I attend, I attend for those who can’t. I march for those who are too afraid. I march for my neighbors, my family, my friends, for my city that is under attack. I march because I am old & I have no more fux to give.

U-Haul and Budget vehicles are being used by ICE to carry out raids in Chicago.

Transporting both people and firearms is a direct violation of their rental terms.

Are they okay with their vehicles being used this way?
