Dr. MLK Jr. said, 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.' In these chaotic times, I take heart in this immutable truth. To extend our vision beyond the corrupt & inhumane, we must collectively calibrate our moral compass toward Truth.

When I’m not serving the community as a firefighter, I’m still staying active in my community as a mentor to the next generation. When people ask me what makes me qualified to run for office, I tell them unlike most politicians, I’m really in the trenches with the people of my community.

I have been at this Medicare for all since 2016.
This was me running for Congress in 2018.
I stand by every word.

This was me in August 2018, running for Congress.
I was right back then, and I am still right.
Maybe the GOP jacking up health care premiums to astronomical numbers will open people’s eyes.
Medicare for all is the only rational and morally decent health care policy.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Thank you, Kimmy for taking it upon yourself to create a space for first responders and people in the community to deal with their own personal mental health challenges. A lot of people talk about it, but you actually took action. Thank you for inviting me to the farm and thank you for your support.

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking.
Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out.
But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Fear has destroyed more lives than any tyrant...but only when people let it. This is the moment to master yours...stand firm... and resist like your future depends on it...because it does. You're scared. History won't give a shit that you were scared. There are no other acceptable options. None.

Chicago police are required to document every time they pull someone over. But a new investigation reveals the department is releasing vastly incomplete data to oversight agencies, even as the superintendent pledges reforms.

The moral squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers.
Both the Republican-controlled Congress and conservative Supreme Court Seem hellbent on abdicating their duties to a tyrant.
