It’s YOUR war, Mike. In your own words, you voted for H.R.7006 β€œbecause it’s a general appropriation bill that includes defense and we have to be safe.” So stfu about being antiwar. You are the embodiment of hypocrisy.

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

Decades of destructive U.S. foreign policy have caused a series of migrant crises across the Global South. Run the tape back and you'll hear me saying the same thing: until we cease our temerarious violence abroad, the victims of our foreign policy will continue to seek safe refuge in our cities.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Kevin drove his bus to every county in Illinois and met folks where they are. He has moral and intellectual clarity that’s unmatched. My vote is for Kevin.

This is how old people got radicalized. If you act racist and get called out on it, you can just shout β€œyou’re racist for calling me racist”. That’s it. Problem solved.

Chicago action today. I’ve opposed the Iranian regime since it was established, but the US military is absolutely the wrong solution to that problem.

Over 300,000 workers went on strike in 2025 β€” a 13% increase from the previous year.

Why?

Perhaps it's because CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Workers have every right to be fed up. Solidarity.

We’ve normalized Republicans calling themselves Democrats in Illinois, so it’s a matter of time before they go full maga. We need to pay attention to our representatives, party designation is almost meaningless here.
