We’re all tired of the unbalanced attention given to the angry minority. Most Evanstonians are in favor of the policies in EE45. The lakefront 3rd ward candidate who ran against it came in third place.

It's pretty remarkable how decisively this repudiates the line we're hearing this morning from a lot of pundits who make tons of money telling people what to think about politics.

We should all start waving Mexican flags in solidarity with our hunted Mexican-American neighbors, as we did with Ukrainian flags 🇲🇽

If Irish-Americans were being hunted and deported they’d wave Irish flags as a symbol of cultural unity and strength. African-Americans who were cut off from their African roots waved flags from Africa, or created their own, to express solidarity in the face of governmental oppression.

I think what I hope @govpritzker.illinois.gov understands is that his presidential ambitions will be fully shot if he doesn’t step up and secure funding for our transit systems in IL.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov you’re great in many ways, but without approving transit funding this budget process was a huge failure. Please call a special summer session so the House can pass the bill from the Senate!

Counterpoint: you actually did vote to deport moms. What part of “mass deportations now” did you not understand?

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Tonight was a victory for zoning reform, as the Land Use Commission voted 7-1 in favor of recommending that City Council approve the Envision Evanston 2045 comprehensive plan. Motions to water down the zoning language weren’t seconded.

Daniel is a progressive policy nerd (and former math professor) who led Evanston to the first reparations program in the country. He’s been a strong ally of zoning reform and a champion of trans rights. Like me, he lives in a duplex SayYEStoDuplexes.org

I am FLOORED by how much support folks have shown for this campaign since we launched yesterday. I can't wait for us to get to work together.
