Donald Trump is gravely mistaken if he thinks he’s going to ride on the coattails of this administration.
Violence has been down in Chicago prior to ICE’s disruptive arrival and it will continue to go down. OUR work is working!

Justice Brandeis declared some years ago that America, before long, must make a choice. We can have democracy, or we can have a horde of multi-millionaires. We cannot have both.

Chicago, on your way to Wednesday night Bible study… remember, let’s stay saved.
Shout to out to Canton Jones for doing what our people have always done and finding joy in midst of struggle.

I’m excited to be in D.C. for CBC and speaking with my fellow Mayors, on the frontlines of this fight, to ensure our communities keep making progress. Black mayors across this country understand our assignment in this pivotal moment and we’re leading the way. @democraticmayors.bsky.social

Yesterday, I got to spend time at the Rainbow Push Coalition supporting the Hope With Helping Hands event.
Over 3,000 bags of food was provided for 1,200 families in need. This is what community is all about!

Worth watching the @brandon4chicago.bsky.social bit. Calls out that:
Chicago’s guns flow in from red states w/ lax gun laws. “For every gun CPD gets off the streets, 2-3 new ones come in”
Trump gutted the ATF, cutting $460mil and thousands of jobs, making illegal guns harder to get off the streets

Thank you to the courageous faith leaders taking a stand to protect this city.
Chicago, now is the time for us to lean on our faith, hold steadfast to
our convictions and turn toward one another to sustain us on the road ahead.
We will not grow weary. We will not faint. We will keep hope alive.

This has absolutely nothing to do with public safety. Violent Crime is dropping exponentially in Chicago and in Democratically led cities across America!
This President has declared war on poor and working class people.
Trump is trying to undermine the progress being realized by Black mayors.

Chicago Mayor @brandon4chicago.bsky.social's summer safety plan is making a difference and helping reduce violence by creating safe, welcoming spaces through programs like Late Night Ball, a public-private effort offering free sports programming on holiday weekends.
