A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

We cannot settle for empty reforms while ICE and CBP terrorize our communities, violate our constitutional rights, and kill innocent people. Demand that your Democratic senators hold the line and use their leverage to secure real restrictions on the regime’s secret police.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

In the first year after she was appointed to the U.S. Senate, Ashley Moody had over a million dollars in her corporate stock traded. All while she had access to insider information only Congress gets.

That should be outlawed.

Stephen Miller--who called ICU nurse Alex Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin” who “tried to murder federal agents"--now says his execution squad may not have followed "protocol." There's no backtracking, no lying coverup, that will free this sick man from his eventual fate. Nuremberg.

The regime is trying to dissuade people from doing what Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and thousands of patriots are doing: Exercising their First Amendment rights to protect their communities from DHS.

Join the next ICE watch training to exercise your rights as federal agents terrorize our communities.

Homeland Security sent a memo to Congress to explain the moments leading to Alex Pretti's death.

In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.

How does ICE have the authority to control the public right-of-way? They are not the police.

Our calls and emails are critical but it's also very important that we turn up the pressure on senators in public in their home states before the vote on DHS funding. We encourage you to plan creative, nonviolent, and lawful actions that honor the lives taken and highlight our demand to rein in ICE.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
