Geraldine de Haas' spirit and generosity lifted the Chicago music community. She championed jazz to be accessible to all, especially young people, and spent decades opening doors for musicians & audiences alike. Her legacy lives on in the music, festivals, artists, and countless lives she touched.

Geraldine “The Jazz Lady” de Haas, who was the driving force behind the creation of the annual Chicago Jazz Festival, died July 28 from natural causes.She was 91 and had moved from her South Side home to New Jersey 13 years ago to be closer to family.

The Garifuna People are defending more than land, they are defending their history, culture, livelihood & collective survival. Honduras must end the persecution & honor the binding Inter-American Court ruling protecting the ancestral territory. Human rights are not optional. youtu.be/IgFirq7uFS4?...

On the House Agriculture Committee, I'm fighting to end the hunger crisis—not fund tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of 5 million families losing nutrition assistance. Our communities deserve better.

Complete and utter cruelty.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govAug 3(source)

6/ Given the President’s decision to launch military strikes, detain Nicolas Maduro, and proclaim that his Administration “runs” the country, the U.S. bears a responsibility for a clear democratic roadmap with an inclusive, Venezuelan-led process for its people to determine their future.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govAug 3(source)

5/ Diplomacy must also deliver tangible benefits. For Venezuelans to start anew, their country’s natural resources must be used to rebuild communities and improve daily life. Yet, there is a lack of transparency about how the Trump administration is controlling billions in Venezuelan oil revenue.

House Committee Investigates Fate of $13 Billion in Venezuelan Oil Revenue

An executive order signed by Trump states that the oil revenues remain the sovereign property of Venezuela and are held by the United States in a custodial capacity

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govAug 3(source)

4/ Any credible reconciliation must include all of Venezuela’s democratic opposition, not just a select few. That is why I met opposition leaders and civil society representatives on the sidelines, treating Venezuelans as equal partners, not servants of a foreign viceroy.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govAug 3(source)

3/ I met with Venezuela’s interim government and welcomed Jorge Rodríguez’s initial dialogue with members of the 2015 National Assembly. Sanctions and unauthorized military action have not improved Venezuelans’ lives. Sustained, principled diplomacy offers a better path.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govAug 3(source)

2/ I first traveled to Venezuela with my father in 2005, and meet with Afro-Venezuelan groups, local religious leaders, and government officials, including Hugo Chávez. I returned two decades later with the same conviction: peace will only come through engagement with the Venezuelan people.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govAug 3(source)

1/ I was honored to join the first congressional delegation to Venezuela in a decade. After years of estrangement, @houseforeign.bsky.social delivered a simple message: the United States and Venezuela share a history, and our people have too much in common to abandon dialogue and diplomacy. 🧵

5/ Sixty-one years later, the lesson is clear: expanding public health care works and the job isn't finished. I will keep fighting for health care as a human right until everyone is covered. It's time to pass Medicare for All.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 31(source)

4/ Yet, Medicaid and Medicare are under constant attack by Republicans who are gutting programs and making it harder for people to keep their coverage—all while protecting tax breaks for Billionaires.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 31(source)

3/ Government healthcare programs have transformed America. They have helped children, seniors, people with disabilities, working families, and rural communities get the care they need. They've saved lives, reduced poverty, and strengthened health systems across the country.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 31(source)

2/ The results speak for themselves. in 1966 when Medicare launched, nearly the entire eligible population age 65 and older - more than 19 million people who had been lacking quality medical care - enrolled.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 31(source)

🧵1/ Pres Truman's plan for national health was called "socialist" & "communist" but advocates believed something simple: your ability to see a doctor shouldn't depend on your bank account. The anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid reminds us protecting & strengthening public health is an ongoing fight.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 31(source)

Unfortunately, the reliance on AI is the result of Elon and DOGE taking a chainsaw to the US government and hollowing‑out essential departments. Even worse is the effect this will have on the most vulnerable @oxfaminternational.bsky.social www.oxfam.org/en/press-rel...

Q: There's a report that the US has taken in $13b from Venezuela. Where is that money going? T: Even more Q: But where is it going? T: We've paid for that war many times over Q: Where is the money going? T: Running the country Q: No, the money US is taking in -- T: Running the country

Trump's @statedeptus.bsky.social used an AI map that mislabeled nations across Africa. Every. Single. One. This isn't just an embarrassment- it's a symbol of an administration that has treated a continent of 1.5 billion as an afterthought. Our African partners & the American people deserve better.

Check out the incredible parks across Chicago and remember these spaces deserve investment, not divestment. The Trump Administration's proposed FY2027 budget would cut $736M from the National Park Service, threatening staffing and visitor services across the country. We must protect our parks.
