The corporate coup is global.

Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it.

They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule.

They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: the President’s actions today are illegal.
 
Cutting off people from healthcare, childcare, and other services is cruel.

The State of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have.

The officers deserve better and I'll never stop making sure the world knows it.
@libradunn1.bsky.social on Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 offenders: “The people we need to be supporting us the most are the people that we protected… Mike Johnson right now, I guarantee you he has Capitol police around him… he owes it at least to those officers to condemn these pardons.”

A little kindness unequivocally goes a long way! #MondayMotivation 💫
I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

Our heroes and national treasures, we will never forget. 🇺🇸
Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.
