No human is illegal — and the immigration system is a civil one. The words we use matter.

Chicago is not a war zone — and Trump should not be sending in the National Guard or militarizing our cities.
Kevin Fee, Legal Director of ACLU of Illinois, is challenging Trump’s unconstitutional actions against Chicago and its community members in court.
The American people don’t want working groups — they want real, immediate action to lower costs.
We cannot give Republicans our votes while premiums skyrocket.
Brighton Neighborhood Council Immigration Defense Coordinator Any Huamani explains how people are organizing and showing up for each other during Trump’s ongoing assault on Chicago.
People are being kidnapped off the streets. This has to end now.
Today, on #PublicRadioMusicDay2025 — we also recognize the importance of public media stations have on our communities!
I met with @kuow.org’s CEO Tina Pamintuan to discuss the negative impacts that the Republican rescissions package is having on their staff, operations, and ability to keep our community informed.
Juliet De Jesus Alejandre, Executive Director of Palenque LNSA, is doing remarkable work, coordinating a network of rapid responders in Chicago.
As Trump works to militarize Chicago and other cities, people like Juliet are working to keep their communities safe.
I spent time packaging and passing out food at food banks to help our neighbors during this Republican shutdown.
These food banks are doing incredible work as they brace for SNAP—but it doesn’t have to be this way. Trump can and should use contingency funds to keep people fed.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is estimating that the Republican shutdown will cost the US economy up to $14 BILLION.
Republicans are destroying our communities and our economy. It’s time to come back to the table and end this.

As the Republican shutdown threatens food security for so many people across our community, I visited @ballardfoodbank.bsky.social and University District Food Bank.
I am so grateful to these community orgs for keeping folks fed as Trump and Republicans fail to keep programs like SNAP funded.
As Republicans plan to block SNAP funding starting Nov 1, I’m hearing a lot of folks on the right shouting “get a job”, but let’s remember:
👶39% of SNAP recipients are children
👵20% are elderly
🐄An hour of minimum wage pay barely covers a pound of beef
Hope that clears things up!
Thank you, Gov Bob Ferguson, for ensuring that our food banks have the resources needed to keep people fed. Trump's refusal to utilize contingency funds to continue SNAP for the hungry—even as he bails out Argentina with $40 billion—is beyond cruel.

THURSDAY: I’m hosting a resource fair with the City of Seattle to get assistance to federal workers who have been impacted by the Republican Shutdown.
Come to get resources from state and local government as well as a variety of organizations, and please bring any neighbors who have been impacted!
What is a shadow hearing? This is a way for us to conduct the oversight that Republicans are trying to block in official hearings — like raising the alarm on Trump’s lawless immigration actions.
Here’s my breakdown:
Bob Reiter, President of the Chicago Federation of Labor, walks us through the devastating economic implications of ICE’s crackdown in Chicago. Listen here:
Today, thousands of air traffic controllers missed their first full paycheck since Republicans shut down the government.
These workers are showing up, and keeping us safe every single day. Republicans must come to the table to end this shutdown and ensure hardworking Americans get paid.
Republicans know they’re responsible for this shutdown, so they’re returning to their old playbook — blaming trans people and immigrants.
It’s not immigrants or trans kids who shut the government down, it’s Trump and Republicans. Don’t let them distract you.
1 in 4 kids rely on SNAP food assistance benefits.
Those children will go hungry this November because Republicans shut down the government and Trump refuses to use contingency funds to keep this program running.
We're on day 28 of the Republican shutdown.
Yet, House Republicans are STILL on vacation, even as 3 million Floridians, 3 million Texans, and millions more, in red and blue states, will lose their food assistance next week. It's time to come to the table and end this shutdown.
Pastor David Black was attacked by ICE while praying for immigrants.
During our shadow hearing in Chicago, he shared his story, his fight, and his demand that we all continue to work to protect immigrant communities.
