25. Pro-labor. Pro-democracy. Anti-BS.
After careful consideration, I’ve decided not to run for the Illinois House in District 104. This wasn’t an easy decision, but I believe what our community needs most right now is unity and focus.

This country doesn’t belong to the billionaires, the crooks, or the extremists. It belongs to us — the working people who built it, and the next generation ready to fight for it.
Happy Fourth of July. Who’s ready take our country back?

My statement below on the Senate’s passage of the OBBB.
A sitting U.S. Senator was handcuffed and dragged out of a press conference—for asking questions.
That’s not law and order. That’s authoritarianism.
If this can happen to Senator Padilla, what happens to the rest of us?

Let’s be very clear, vandalism, looting, and attacks on officers aren’t protest, they’re chaos, and they make it harder to fight for real change.

I believe in:
— Fair wages
— Safe communities
— Public schools that work
— A government that stands up to corporations
That’s not radical.
That’s what most people believe and it’s time politics caught up.

1. Something deeply wrong is happening in Orion, Illinois — and the public needs to know.
Earlier this month, Aaron Peer won his election for Mayor with 53% of the vote. But now the local government is trying to block him from taking office. Why?

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

The stakes for 2026 and 2028 could not be higher. The Republican Party is no longer interested in governing—it is a party of chaos, corruption, and authoritarian power grabs. If we don’t fight back with everything we have, we will lose everything. [1/🧵]

AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
📌I know I shouldn't be surprised that the media has wasted little time normalizing this attack on our government, rights, and sensibilities.
📌So let me frame this up properly: THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY
📌We simply cannot survive this obscene level of hate and lawlessness from this fascist WH.

Pritzker 2028.
JB Pritzker flat out says the birthright "order" is unconstitutional and "we will not obey an unconstitutional order," attacks Trump for having the oligarchs in the front row.

I’ve been in this fight for last 10 years and while that isn’t nearly as long as most of the people I look up to, one thing I do know is this; where we are headed is going to consume and be our history for the next 50 years. A civil war, a revolution or a third world war. Something is coming.
Damn! Trump and today’s oligarchy class are drawing from a playbook straight out of the Civil War.
The wealthy plantation class manipulated working-class white people into siding with the Confederacy by exploiting racism and fear—even though slavery primarily benefited the rich.
