Women's rights are human rights. They aren't negotiable on International Women's Day or any day. Here in Illinois, we celebrate the contributions of the incredible women in Illinois' history and honor them by continuing to push our state forward.

The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is literally a matter of life and death. People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable. EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

It’s the 60th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧵 time.com/3736357/bara...

Terribly sad. I can't imagine how confused he must have been during the time prior to his passing. Tragic end for them.

Lucy McBath gets things done. She cares about her constituents and listens to them. She would make an excellent governor.

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws. Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

If you aren't worried already, time to get on board. We became a nation because we didn't want to live under a monarchy.

What about Free Speech? Isn't that protected under the US Constitution? Being free to peaceful protest is one of the greatest rights we have in this nation. 47 is removing our rights. WAKE UP before it is too late. #resist #stopstealingourrights

Did you miss it? While you were sleeping, the Trump Administration just raised the cost of your groceries. Next time you head to the grocery store, you'll pay more for: - Tomatoes - Canned soda - Beer Your pocketbook shouldn't be a bargaining chip. Georgians can't afford these reckless tariffs.

Inequality has been slowly creeping into America for 45 years, but 2025 will show an explosion of intentional and wide-out-in-the-open greed. Unless enough Americans wake up and band together to stop it.

For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy. Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.

Explaing the true cost to some Americans is an exercise in futility. They will literally applaud as they fail to pay their monthly bills.

All that is required to see where the US is headed is basic reading comprehension skills. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Exactly 💯. And his supporters are applauding the removal of their liberty. What will it take for them to open their eyes and see the reality of what is happening.
