No one is safe from gun violence in America.
We do not have to keep living like this.
Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

Brazil's Supreme Court held its country's former president accountable for committing crimes.
Meanwhile, our country's Supreme Court gave our former president immunity from prosecution for committing even more crimes.
So guess which country is more broken and shamelessly corrupt.

If not for Chicago, we might not have Labor Day.
Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for a much longer video where I dive into the history of unionization, violent strike suppression, and workers’ victories in Chicago, and how they impacted workers across the country.

My kids are so loud. They are fighting. They are laughing. They are playing. They are screaming. Did I mention it’s loud? But I just keep thinking, “they came home safe from school every day” and somehow, that’s remarkable enough in this country for me to be glad for the noise today.
