ICYMI: The Intercept reported yesterday that "more than 35 of [AIPAC's] donors have given money to [Jason] Friedman's campaign" for Illinois' 7th Congressional seat, totaling about $140,000 of his $1.5 million fundraising total.

Here is my official statement:

The grift that keeps on grifting.

The Village of Broadview threatened to remove activists’ supply tent at Broadview ICE Facility by 10am today, arguing that it’s being used as an illegal “campsite.”

This is where people who have been tear-gassed, pepper sprayed, and assaulted are treated. It’s a makeshift hospital, not a campsite.

We filed our petition for candidacy with the IL State Board of Elections! This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the people who’ve stood with us from the start.

To the people of IL-07: none of this would have been possible without you stepping up to take part in democracy. Thank you.

The stories of riots and insurrection at ICE protests are fake.

These are pastors, suburban moms and dads, university educators, and they are peacefully and joyfully singing.

Last night, I joined the River Forest teachers’ picket line.

Our broken system pays educators barely enough to get by, and then fights them when they ask for what they deserve. The people we entrust with our children should be paid enough to afford a decent life.

Chicago: we will be at Half Sour on Monday, October 6, 5:30-6:30, for an IL-07 candidate Meet-and-Greet with Indivisible Downtown Chicago.

Looking forward to sharing our vision to combat corrupt, powerful interests and tackle the affordability crisis in Chicago and beyond. Hope to see you there!

Military police are marching on American suburbs. I grew up in these neighborhoods. Trump is invading my hometown and yours.

Trump wants to use his shutdown to starve hungry families — while wasting our tax dollars invading American cities.

When our city is under attack, we stand up, and we fight back.

Aren’t these like 95% of the MAGA agenda?
