Revoking an entire nationalityās visas is collective punishment and never acceptable ā especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
With fascism, you're either a collaborator or part of the resistance.
Hereās where and when protests against President Donald Trump and billionaire-influence over politics are expected to take place on Monday, organized by the AFL-CIO and dozens of partner organizations.
Putin, Modi and Xi send Trump a pointed message at a key regional summit
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Pu says he doesn't want Ukraine in NATO. Trump says Ukraine won't be in NATO. Ukraine is not in NATO. Yet the war continues, Ru keeps attacking and there's no peace in sight. The war is very clearly NOT about Ukraine's NATO membership.
ā”ļø Ukraine destroys Russian S-300 radar in occupied Crimea, military says. Radars serve as the "eyes" of an air defense system ā without them, anti-aircraft units are effectively blind and unable to operate.
Great to stop by Hyde Park and see Chef Erick Williams. This Black Business Month and every month, weāre proud to show the world what Illinois is really all about.

Hey D.C. friends! If you see billboards or posters in the District from @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social demanding federal agents take off their mask, be sure to take a picture and share it!
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
Republicans keep saying the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts are only cutting āwaste fraud and abuseāā¦ and yet not a single arrest. Funny how that works!

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of politics impacting things that should be nonpartisan issues. Helping families afford rent, access health care or keep their kids safe should be the focus of every leader ā regardless of party ā and that's exactly where my focus remains.
American federalism goes to work. As RFK Jr. heads down the road of more measles, more COVID-19 and more flu, public health states must develop our own strategies to stay safe.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of āDid this dictator die or just disappear for a day?ā Weāve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Chicago keeping art alive:
"Dangerous, Irrational, Illogical: RFK Jr. Has Put So Many Lives at Risk" The decision by Trump's extremist health secretary to restrict COVID vaccines & oust the CDC chief could be a death sentence for vulnerable Americans, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.
As a result of our lawsuit against the Trump administration, we stopped the dismantling of AmeriCorps and $184 million will be restored for essential public services. This is a major victory for the dedicated AmeriCorps volunteers and the people they serve every day.

If not for Chicago, we might not have Labor Day. Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for a much longer video where I dive into the history of unionization, violent strike suppression, and workersā victories in Chicago, and how they impacted workers across the country.

A new level of cruel? Trump is illegally withholding child care grants for parents in collegeā Forcing them into an impossible choice: drop out or take on more debt. Iām demanding an investigation. These funds that Congress already approved must be released immediately.
It's been 70 years since Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. He was 14. After years of pushing for it, the Chicago church where Emmett's mother bravely held his open-casket wake is a national monument. May Emmett and Mamie Till-Mobley's stories never be forgotten.
The Kyiv Independentās investigative journalist Alisa Yurchenko exposes how Russia has quietly expanded its Votkinsk missile plant with the help of Chinese and Taiwanese machinery imported through intermediaries to evade Western sanctions.
Groundhog day. Trump's cycle: hear Ru demands, try to impose them on Ukraine, blame Ukraine viciously, scold Ru softly, then threaten to walk away. He should do it already--end the useless Ru coddling he calls diplomacy and, if he's not going to help Ukraine, just walk away.
Keep it up @usarmyoverlord.bsky.social - they're all cowards. They're all losers. The coalition against this fascist regime is bigger, smarter, and stronger than them - and we are everywhere - seen and unseen. The people are coming for them. They should be afraid.

Ukraineās unregulated crypto market is fertile ground for criminals, corrupt officials, and Russian saboteurs to exploit, but a new report claims that proper legislation could help the state recover at least $10 billion in lost tax revenue and stolen funds annually.

1.2 *million* Americans died from COVID before these vaccines were approved and we had widespread access to them. Reducing access to vaccines that are effective and have saved so many lives isnāt simply anti-science, itās anti-American. And people could die because of it.
