Free access to information (like public libraries) is essential to a healthy democracy and the exercise of our first amendment rights. Good debate needs good information because the exchange of ideas fuels progress.

Our democracy is being tested.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

EXCLUSIVE: @PeteButtigieg responds to Harris's revelations about why she didn't choose him as her VP.

"I just believe in giving Americans more credit than that,” he tells our @adamwren.

@paschutz @ChicagosMayor @ToniPreckwinkle @GovPritzker Agreed!

[Paris Schutz @paschutz]

Dear @ChicagosMayor @ToniPreckwinkle and @GovPritzker: It's time to give this man the honor he deserves. A statue. Expressway. Park. Airport renaming. "Buddy Guy International Airport"? He is a living legend and will go down as one of the greatest Chicagoans of all time, and we've forgotten about him and all his blues peers who literally changed music for the entire world. Watch this clip and listen to the emotion in his voice. Maybe some of the famous musicians who wouldn't have their careers if not for him could join the campaign? He's given so much, and now it's time to give back. C'mon Chicago! #BuddyGuyTribute

Things Republicans believed in before Trump:

-States' Rights
-The Constitution
-The Justice System
-Law and Order
-Freedom of Speech
-Rights
-Capitalism
-Limited Government
-Reducing the Debt
-Russia is America's enemy
-Allies should be defended

Not anymore.

Dallas’ murder rate is nearly 2x higher than Los Angeles’. Don’t expect Fox News to report that.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.

Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.

There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

I’ve been appointed to the Evergreen Park Library Board of Trustees! Libraries have been a lifeline in my life—and I believe in well-funded public institutions that uplift communities. Proud to serve.

[Chicago Sun-Times @Suntimes]

For many at the Barrio Arts Festival on Saturday, attendance was twofold — to celebrate their Puerto Rican culture and to show solidarity after the museum was swarmed this week by Department of Homeland Security.
