Love. This is how it should be. Let the people wear what they want! Dress codes are a tool of the powerful.
Senate Majority Leader Schumer has quietly made changes to the Senate’s dress code to allow senators to wear whatever they want on the floor. nbcnews.com/politics/congres…

Senate Democrats have released proposed district maps for the elected Chicago school board. Short thread on how the maps look, starting with the maps themselves, one picture for each half of the city #twill

Did you have your coffee yet this morning? @Phil_Mattingly did... almost.
Today's #MorningMoment:
The amount of time / reverence American media @CNN, @MSNBC @FoxNews and the rest is giving to the undemocratic coronation of a monarch is disturbing. Hundreds of thousands of people, including Americans died fighting for independence from governments headed by Kings. #KingCharles

Getting excited for a new day in #Chicago
Just stopped by this protest in #Chicago. We will not go back. It's her body. Her choice. We will not let one right wing exteme MAGA judge take away a fundamental right. @PPFA @NARAL @PersonalPAC

Chicago deserves a police superintendent who understands the complexities of policing, is committed to reform, and will build trust between our communities and law enforcement.
Show up, make your voice heard, and help shape our future!

Chicago has decided: #BrandonISbetter. Chi sent a teacher to the lead the nation's 3rd largest city. As a fellow former Chi classroom teacher, the classroom has prepared Brandon to understand the strengths and challenges of Chicago families and youth. Now the hard work begins!

Now. The time is now. We should have a general strike the likes that no one can ignore. @AFLCIO @NEAToday @AFTunion @rweingarten @BeckyPringle
At what point do we consider a national boycott of schools, until our children are safe to learn there, and our adults are safe to teach?
How many lives need to be lost before we actually decide to do something, and keep everyone safe?

I just vetoed my first bill.
This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don't like.
Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.
The @GOP & @NikkiHaley want to raise the retirement age to the point where working people will just work and then die. France's retirement age is 62. Working Americans deserve to enjoy their senior years with family and friends. Not working to make billionaires richer.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley calls for changing the retirement age and limiting Social Security and Medicare benefits for wealthier Americans cnn.it/3l7RN0d

1. Stay strong and keep the fight up. My dad was diagnosed with leukemia in 1998 and is alive today in remission.
2. Yes re: unions! America and people are stronger and able to fight for a better life because or organized labor.
3. Your students are lucky to have you.
I was diagnosed with leukemia in the fall. I’ve been looking at my medical bills and how they would be substantially different if I did not have a job with strong union benefits. Unions matter. Thanks @CTULocal1 💪🏼
