thetriibe.com/2026/04/its-... I'm glad the residents of Brighton Park spoke up of their displeasure of CPD working collaborating with ICE. That's what you call People's Power! This was my childhood neighborhood and I have fond memories growing up there. When we stand together no one can stop us.

We were founded as Iraq Veterans Against the War over the devastation we saw with our own eyes when Bush claimed we were going to liberate the people of Iraq and protect Americans. That war is now referred to as a blunder but it was a crime just like this War on Iran is now. /1

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... Trump Administration has no real plan for this war just to make money off oil interest not to help the people of Iran. They didn't even have a plan to evacuate Americans working or living overseas in the Middleast before the war started. I've seen this before.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act. We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy. New from me at @brennancenter.org:
The Bygone Era of Supreme Court Support for Voting Rights
Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

A friend got a targeted digital ad in support of Jaime Andrade from American Future and asked what their deal is. Well...this turns out to be a great story about an emerging pattern in federal independent expenditures in state and local races that are especially relevant to Democratic primaries.
