The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

Shouldn't be rare to see this said by a US senator

We've seen another morning of increased ICE activity with DHS helicopter out and about in Chicagoland.

Feds have taken people from Humboldt Park and Ravenswood. Vehicles also seen in Rogers Park. ICE watchers are asking north side neighbors to get outside and keep an eye on landscapers & laborers.

If you are voting by mail, PLEASE drop it directly at an early voting location instead of mailing it to be sure it arrives on time and is counted.

What an irresponsible conclusion to reach and an abject failure of journalism. And not just because it's not even spring yet. The lede, essentially, is 'they said they'd come back to Chicago but instead they fired Noem'. ICE is still here in Chicago and elsewhere, but we should relax now?

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Salt the earth. Stigmatize the perpetrators and never allow them into polite society again. Condemn the leaders to a lifetime of hard labor on projects dismantling the prison camps by hand. And that's the mildest I can think of in order to post publicly

This so much. All choices carry consequences, no choice is certain. No medical intervention of any kind is perfectly safe or perfectly effective. But gender-affirming care works. It is a caring choice by committed caregivers who listen to and respect the humanity of kids.

Three cheers for IL Governor JB Pritzker, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly, and all the other local officials who showed the feds that Illinois cops can beat protestors with the best of them.

No more excuses. No "presidential waivers". Not one more cent. We must pass Block the Bombs, reclaim our War Powers, and hold Trump and Netanyahu accountable.

#EarlyVoting starts TODAY in all 50 Wards and the suburbs, and while the world is a dumpster fire and the Federal government is the worst, we've got a chance to fight back at the polls between now and the 17th.
