Despite their countries remaining unsafe for return, the Supreme Court on Thursday denied legal protections for migrants fleeing violence and natural disaster in Haiti and Syria, exposing hundreds of thousands more people to potential deportation.

During my appearance this afternoon on @thearenacnn, Republicans tried to lecture about the “extremism” and “radicalism” of the Democratic Socialists who won in NY. Absolutely not! Republicans inflicted the abomination of DJT on us. I don’t want to hear a damned thing about “extremism” from that side of politics. It’s time to take the gloves off and fight like hell for our country and way of life. And, don’t be handcuffed thinking you have to play be a different, stricter set of rules.

“Arrest as many people that touch you as you want to," Gregory Bovino told Border Patrol officers in 2025.

But a review of hundreds of such arrests shows that charges brought against protesters and bystanders repeatedly fell apart under scrutiny.

CPS board members are considering a resolution that calls on Illinois lawmakers to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy residents and to pursue other measures that could boost funding for the state’s largest school district. https://t.co/FUAPacJmir

Today, I am proud to announce the city-wide expansion of our Crisis Assistance Response and Engagement Program to all 77 of Chicago's community areas. The C.A.R.E. Program provides a non-police response to individuals experiencing mental health crises and socio-emotional distress by deploying trained mental health professionals and EMTs to deliver appropriate, compassionate care, crisis intervention, and basic medical support. With this expansion, we are solidifying our commitment to prioritizing compassion over criminalization for those most in need.

What happened in the State of Tennessee was the largest and swiftest disenfranchisement of Black people that we've seen in at least a century.

It's on all of us to organize, mobilize, and participate in bigger numbers than their maps account for.

ICE pulled a gun on a NY teenager, beat him, and then realized they got the wrong guy. Like other cases targeting citizens, ICE dumped him in a random location far from his home, bloody and injured.

@SenatorDurbin As your constituent, I urge you to reject adding more funds for deadly immigration detention and mass arrests, which terrorizes our communities and fuels a system of mass incarceration for profit. Our communities deserve better.

1/2: READ: USPCN Statement on U.S.–Israeli Aggression and the Escalating War on Iran.

This is not a “pre-emptive strike.” It is an attempt to force Iran into submission to U.S. and Israeli regional domination. Such aggression violates international law a

Angelina Jolie, who has consistently spoken out in support of Palestinians, visits the Rafah crossing amid Israel’s continued restriction of aid trucks moving far slower than the ceasefire agreement stated.

2025 was the year we raised the bar for what’s possible.

This year, we won a landmark contract for Chicago’s educators, beat back federal attacks on our schools and students, and organized for a city budget that puts people first. Every fight we took on, from the classroom to City Hall to Washington, was about defending public education and building the schools and communities our students deserve.

We showed what’s possible when educators and community lead with courage, and when solidarity drives every step.
