BREAKING: Chicago drivers w/@gig_chicago have blocked the entrance to the @Uber Hub! @dkhos, are you listening to this growing wave of drivers demanding basic protections on the job? #UberDriversUnite#GigSafetyNow
@PaulVallas I was also there as a CPS student when Paul Vallas was CEO. He turned our education into a relentless focus on standardized tests aimed more at making corporate Chicago happy with his "business model" of education than at actually educating students.
1. The Fraternal Order of Police, billionaire Ken Griffin both endorsed Tr*mp for President, Darren Bailey for Governor, are lining up behind DeSantis for President, and now support Paul Vallas for Mayor.
You know #RepublicanPaulVallas is a Republican because he is endorsed by Republicans.
This tweet is still up! And you read it right, Paul says he's "complimented to have received an official endorsement" from the Chicago Republican Party. #24Days24Ways

At the polls last week, Illinois voters rejected efforts to incite fear. @chicagotribune op-ed is out now with Michelle Alexander, author of @thenewjimcrow, on why Illinois lawmakers must protect the Pretrial Fairness Act & eliminate cash bail: https://t.co/3IwmlPMjWC
We are at the DuPage County Courthouse protesting State's Attorney Bob Berlin. He has repeatedly appeared alongside racist right-wing extremists who have spread misinformation about the Pretrial Fairness Act without ever condemning them.

"Those who are telling you they want to repeal the Safe-T Act, ask them what else they want to repeal." - @RepChrisWelch
We're with you! We have to stand strong & defend the Pretrial Fairness Act from those who want to deny us of our most fundamental rights!
Trump megadonor Richard Uihlein is spending millions of dollars on racist propaganda about bail reform masquerading as news. This fact check calls out their lies.
The Pretrial Fairness Act ends money bond & reforms Illinois’ pretrial system. Conservatives & some law enforcement officials have pushed lies to confuse the public and preserve mass incarceration.
We’ve put their lies under a microscope to help you separate fact from fiction.
The right is going full racist Willie Horton on criminal justice reform. It's going to continue to get worse at least through November, so we need to escalate our fight as well.
A fake newspaper delivered across the state asks what the end of money bail will mean for Illinois families.
For tens of thousands, it means that their loved ones will be able to remain in their communities, with their families, while awaiting trial.

The Pretrial Fairness Act will #EndMoneyBail, one of the most glaring racial injustices in our criminal legal system.
Law enforcement has claimed that this change will make our communities less safe. Listen to Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III explain why that's simply untrue:
