America never had "low-skilled" workers, just essential workers paid low wages. The grocery store cashier - essential. The janitor - essential. The delivery worker - essential. Every American worker deserves a living wage. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

Good morning from the seventh story roof of #LoganSquare 's first equitable transit-oriented development. Millionaires and billionaires won't be able to buy this view - all of the 100 units will be for our community's poor and working class families.

Bernie is in 1st place nationally and up 2 points after CNN #DemDebate in new national Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered Dems, conducted 1/15-1/16. @BernieSanders and our multiracial working class movement won Tuesday's debate, and we're on our way to win in November! #NotMeUs

Here's Joe Biden praising China's communist party leader. Joe Biden is a liar, and will say whatever he thinks sounds best in the moment. Reminds me of somebody already in the White House. #DemDebate

@natashakorecki No Democrat has lost the youth vote in the primary and gone on to win the general. Biden and his campaign will lose to Trump.

Not my colleague at this Budget Committe hearing saying we need "clear rules" for Chicago's UBI pilot so people don't "misuse" the money. What do they think this program is? ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ UBI pilot participants will use the $500/month on whatever they want/need. That's the point.

This is just "stop-and-frisk" by a different name. Unconstitutional and racist policing is not a solution to gun violence.

Chicago police plan to arrest teens on โ€œdrug cornersโ€ this week to help reduce an expected spike in gun violence during the July 4th weekend. Critics say the preemptive move will only worsen relations with police in some areas of the city.

@HRC @LoriLightfoot As mayor, Lori Lightfoot has perpetuated racial violence. Lightfoot has maligned, criminalized, and attempted to silence Black, brown, and Indigenous Chicagoans fighting for social and economic justice through an intersectional lens.

We're going to get CPD out of CPS. We're going to end the school to prison pipeline. Mayor Lightfoot can decide to be part of the solution and a progressive tomorrow, or she can get out of the way.

Joe Biden says he was arrested in Soweto, South Africa "trying to get to see [Nelson Mandela]" on Robben Island. The only problem? Soweto is 872 miles from Robben Island and THIS NEVER HAPPENED. It's a complete fabrication by the former Vice President.

Paul Vallas was the architect of our current CPS. He caused significant havoc in our schools & then left a path of destruction at other public school systems across the nation. Paul Vallas has been a disaster in every role he's been entrusted. He'd be a disaster as mayor.

Iโ€™m so confused at people who vilify Brandon Johnson for the current state of CPS bc he is a former CPS teacher and CTU organizer while ignoring that Paul Vallas was literally the CEO of CPS

@GoyaFoods How dare your CEO get rich off our Latino and immigrant families and then turn around and support the president terrorizing our Latino and immigrant families. I guess his tax cut was more important than his customers. Vayanse a la mierda! #BoycottGoya

Looks like 1,000+ Chicagoans have surrounded the Grant Park Columbus Statue. @Chicago_Police should stand down. Our city should value life (and not being sued for misconduct) more than a racist statue. #DecolonizeZhigaagoong
