Late night is losing one of the greats! For years, Stephen brought laughter, truth and light into our homes when we needed it most. And for that, we'll always be grateful.

Black communities fought, organized, marched, and sacrificed for the right to vote, and now those hard-won protections are under attack. The Supreme Court’s decision weakening Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act threatens decades of progress and opens the door to voter suppression and weakened political representation across the South. Communities are already sounding the alarm as states move to redraw maps and dilute representation in schools, neighborhoods, city councils, and Congress. As educators and union members, we know attacks on voting rights are also attacks on public education, labor rights, and racial justice. CTU stands proudly in solidarity with Black and Brown communities defending multiracial democracy. This moment demands organized resistance, coalition building, voter engagement, and an unapologetic fight for equal access to the ballot and equal representation for every community.

"Damn right — and some people still can’t handle the truth. Robert De Niro said what millions are thinking but are too afraid to say. Silence isn’t strength anymore… it’s complicity. 👉 Are you brave enough to agree? YES__ OR __ NO ⤵️ 💭

Before I leave Congress, I have a dream. The Dream Act should become law. To the young people depending on this: I’m not going to give up on you. Don’t give up on me. Justice will prevail.
Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@JudiciaryDems

Sen. DURBIN: As I retire from Congress, my dream is the Dream Act to become law before I go. My colleagues feel as strongly as I do about this issue, and they’ll continue to fight. I’m not going to give up on you. Don’t give up on me. Justice will prevail—the sooner the better.

Mamdani taxed the rich and suddenly libraries work, potholes get fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more. That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!

@CTULocal1 The burden on the working class is uneducated children, and your corrupt union is the direct cause of that.

Working families are being asked to do more with less while billionaires and corporations keep getting richer. Trump’s cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and public education will blow a hole in Illinois’ budget and our students will pay the price if Governor Pritzker and the General Assembly don’t take action. CTU stands with the call to tax the rich and invest in our communities. Gov. Pritzker and the General Assembly must fight for a tax system that works for students, working families, and Chicago — not just those at the top. Read more: chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/20…

@rachelvscott You are aware that he is not out there himself working on the reflecting pool? By your logic, we should stop all government projects until the "war" with Iran is over. This is a dumb take. Yes, your question was stupid.

Tuesday was the second monthly rally for delivery cyclist Damian Gomez, 18, killed by a hit-and-run driver. Gage Park Cyclists noted that CPD swiftly pursued justice for an officer who was recently murdered. "We need that same kind of energy for Damian." chi.streetsblog.org/2026/05/06/eye…

@BarackObama Can we all agree that it’s racist to draw congressional maps based solely on skin color? Can we also agree that eradicating race-based maps is a good thing? By the way, Utah’s only black member of Congress is being replaced by a white man because democrats drew new maps.

Barack Obama@BarackObama·
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

The Peacebook Executive Order creates Chicago’s first permanent, year-round Youth Peacekeeping Program by hiring 50 Youth Peacekeepers and four Youth Safety Advisors. It establishes a the Peacebook Working Group, who will develop a scalable framework for citywide investment in youth peacekeeping. Youth Peacekeepers aged 16-24 will train their peers in conflict resolution and de-escalation skills, organize youth-serving mutual aid networks within communities, and connect residents with resources and support services. The measure builds upon the success of DFSS’ summer peacekeeping programs while extending this critical work year-round, bolstering the effectiveness of the City's violence interruption and prevention investments.
Mayor Brandon Johnson@ChicagosMayor

For years, youth organizers across Chicago, including the leaders at GoodKids MadCity, have been organizing, advocating, and showing what becomes possible when we trust young people. By investing in peer mentoring and youth-led peacekeeping, we are investing in safer communities—not only in the future, but right now.

@Garnet_2203 @Ptbopolotico I was there, I was in the room when those who died of other causes (MVAs, shootings, etc) we're classified as covid deaths if they tested positive, which everyone did. Quit talking about things you know nothing about, it makes you like stupid even for a Canadian.

Oh come on “nobody died from COVID”? That’s just not reality. Millions did. Comorbidities don’t cancel the cause COVID is what pushed people over the edge. And the “car accidents were counted” line has been debunked for years. You can question policies all you want. But denying the deaths just makes you loud, not right.

Fuck you Joe Rogan. You want to talk about all that shit Canada did during covid? Fact: 1.23 million Americans died from Covid during the pandemic. Fact: 60,000 Canadians died from Covid during the pandemic. Americans were about 140% more likely to die from COVID than Canadians during the pandemic.🖕

Joe Rogan and Post Malone call out Canada: "Canada is f**king falling apart. All the shit that they did during COVID was just the total wrong direction."
