I found that here in this small corner of the city going block by block, listening to people, learning about their hardships and hopes. The neighborhoods I organized fall within a five-mile radius of the Obama Presidential Center. @MichelleObama and I were married less than a mile away; our daughters, born down the street. This is the district I served in the Illinois State Senate. And it’s where I announced my candidacy for the United States Senate, before embarking on the campaign that so improbably led to this day.
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
@CalltoActivism Disgusting. Trump couldn't be bothered to meet the plane shipping dead servicemen back to the USA- he played golf instead, but happy to honour a person hell-bent on stirring shit & participating in violence against Police.
Trump's decision to hold this military funeral for Ashli Babbitt, in addition to whitewashing history, is yet another tactic to divert attention from Epsteinphiles... -DW
OK buddy, your next flight is going to be piloted by the kid that makes fries at the burger place, and your next surgery will be done by a retired door to door salesman.
I know trumpies want to think of themselves as having an opinion that's just as valid as the opinion a trained person's in a specific field, but it just doesn't work that way. This mentality is great when you are trying to fleece dumb people, but all it will do is lead to death and misery.
@RpsAgainstTrump This is such a BS!!!
If I don't understand or know something, should I go to an expert or ask my neighbor that is NOT an expert?
Why do we even have universities or doctors in that case?
Stop trusting the experts? So what, should we conduct our own investigations into everything on our own? That sounds extremely efficient
Or wait, is he suggesting we trust the model of honesty that’s currently in the White House and his team of people who have no problem voicing differing opinions?
Fckn brilliant!!! 🧠
@RpsAgainstTrump Yes, let’s just ignore their academic credentials, board exams, and professional licenses — you know, the things that actually prove competence. Unlike you, who’s just full of hot air and whale-sized ignorance.
Exactly the opposite. Stalin for example ignored true experts when it came to agriculture and instead relied on quacks like Trofim Lysenko, whose bizarre ideas contributed to poor agricultural results and caused catastrophic famines. RFK Jr. is also an unqualified quack whose ignorance and vacuous arrogance will probably cost thousands of lives.
@RpsAgainstTrump Next time one of these people from the comments who agree with RFK has to go to an hospital with, lest say, an appendicitis, let’s ask a non experts, to examine them. Let’s ask an anti-science person to operate them. Why should they trust science?
@PopCrave Ms Gomez,
I applaud your kindness, love, and compassion! I’m sorry that our convicted, narcissistic and abusive “president” and “co-president,” lack the same. May God save ALL of our people— especially the children from them and from their cowardly enablers.
