Trump is fabricating a crisis that could end American democracy. If he succeeds, our streets will be militarized, and our courts will become places for political show trials. That’s why what’s happening in Chicago matters to everyone.

What do Democrats stand for? @walshfreedom.bsky.social and I talk about how the party can take a stronger, more visible stand to make sure voters know the stark differences between Democrats and Trump's MAGA authoritarianism.
