This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

Chicago isn’t a “warzone”… but the Broadview ICE facility is. That’s why it’s time to say enough is enough.

But to do that, we need our leaders. And your help:

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare.

But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there.

Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Even though we had a ton of fun in the beta and played this much on just one of the weekends, we cancelled our preorders and will not be playing due to EA’s new ownership.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident.

Release Steve Held.
NEW — Video posted to social media shows Unraveled Press co-founder Steve Held being detained by federal agents outside the Broadview immigration facility earlier this evening.

A collection of Chicago newsrooms is calling for his immediate release.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk.

He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

Braids are a great way to keep your hair out of your face, especially when ICE teargasses you.

Also they don’t get caught in a respirator. 10/10 would recommend.

🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

For the next month, we're doing an experiment: live-streaming as a core campaign strategy.

Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, I'll be streaming with guests, games, and (of course) my cat, Heater. And if this works, we'll keep doing it.

Join us tomorrow, 7 PM CT.

Today marks six months until Election Day! I don't ask often, so when I do I try to make it count: Can you chip in $5, $10, or our average donation of $32 to help my campaign cover the costs of paying our staff and reaching voters? secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t.

We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

I’ve been at these protests because I feel like our leaders don’t care. I do.

This feels ghoulish to ask, but if you want a congresswoman who stands up to ICE, donate to my campaign today. We can’t win without you: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky
