@Aiannucci Haven’t the Tories been in power for the last dozen years? Who is she proposing to stand up and fight with (and for what)?

@AoDespair Also progressive faith-based community organizing in downstate Illinois @ILPeoplesAction (IPA). https://t.co/uzqGO8NMja

And beer.

Tonite, the ONLY IL17 congressional candidate forum focusing on intersection of CLIMATE, EQUITY, JOBS. IL17 one of handful of key open House Dem seats. #ClimateJustice #pplsAction

I grew up in Springfield, Illinois, and the stuff @RyanSmithWriter says here rings true--the declining conditions, visible hardship. Especially appreciate this description of how gambling extracts money from poor people. https://t.co/z1r9ePTE1C

[IL People's Action @ILPeoplesAction]

What time is it? It's time for Climate Action in IL. 19 hours till the People gather to tell IL Dems it's time to pass the Gov's Climate/Jobs/Equity bill. Join us at the State Fair Dem tent tomorrow, 1pm #ClimateActionNow

@WGLTNews Do you know the number of rental eviction & mortgage foreclosures specifically?

[doncarlson @doncarlson]

Our planet won't wait-climate change is real and existential. Our communities won't wait-unemployed IL workers need green energy jobs. My family won't wait-my grandkids deserve a better future. Help us pass CEJA NOW. @GovPritzker @ChrisWelch_JD & @DonHarmonIL #CEJACantWait

[People Planet First @PeoplePlanet_1]

Over this sunny IL Labor day weekend, let's remember our 1,000,000 IL families out of work due to Covid-19. Doesn't it make sense to go big & bold on renewable energy plan putting everyday people back to work? @Peoples_Action @ilenviro #peopleplanet1st

@Pantagraph Honest question, why is “cumulative rate” important at all compared to current 7 day average? Isn’t today and tomorrow more important for public health decisions than March? (At 1 point it was 0%...)

[doncarlson @doncarlson]

@WGLTNews “Dropped slightly”? Looks to me 2x increase in less than 30 days.

[doncarlson @doncarlson]

@ryanWGLT @McLeanHealth WHO says <5% is the target. Texas is at 10% and they’re in crisis. How can our public health claim less or equal 10%? If that’s the threshold we’re in trouble.

Martin Gugino, the 75-year-old Buffalo man shoved by two 30-something police officers, is a member of PUSH Buffalo, which focuses on affordable housing, and Western New York Peace Center, a human rights org. He is also part of the Catholic Worker Movement. https://t.co/XnOSkOpQyI

@ryanWGLT Think simple & easy location(s) rather than Interstate Center. Think Arena, mobile neighborhood stations, local churches, even city hall/county building. My guess is no homeless, few seniors w/o cars ever got a test.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

In this economic crisis, we need to place an immediate moratorium on evictions, foreclosures, and utility shut-offs.

@SarahDAnderson1 Door knocked for him as a HS student.

[doncarlson @doncarlson]

@MonicaHesse It’s that pesky 1% for charity.

[Sally Kohn @sallykohn]

Gonna be a sad commentary on our nation's priorities if Trump is impeached NOT for throwing immigrant kids in cages, banning Muslims, defending white supremacists, or boasting about sexually assaulting women but because he threatened to withhold arms sales

[doncarlson @doncarlson]

@JustinTrudeau Does that include stopping Enbridge and it’s tar sand pipeline that comes through my neighborhood? (From your neighbor south of you)
