As we enter the weekend, I am urging parents, guardians and trusted adults to help prevent unsanctioned teen gatherings. Know where your children are and talk with them about the risks of attending these events. To Chicago’s young people: do not attend these gatherings. They can escalate quickly and carry serious consequences. @Chicago_Police will enforce curfew and applicable laws, and community violence intervention partners will be on the ground to help keep young people safe. @Chicago is investing in its youth. Today is the final day to apply for @ChiYouthWorks, the city’s summer jobs program. I encourage young people to apply and download the My CHI. My Future. app to connect with summer opportunities. Stay safe, look out for one another and choose opportunities that invest in your future.

Fellow white people. You can split the US population and share it with ONE other race. • Whites will be 50%. • Whoever you choose will be the remaining 50%. Which way, western man?

Times like this can make it feel like the fight for our country has already been lost. But let me remind you: We need every American who cares for our democracy to BE LOUD.

@Riley_Gaines_ Unfortunately, what needs to happen, won't. Girls need to stay home and not compete.

If you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls’ event, you’ve already admitted you know he isn’t a girl and that his participation is unfair. At that point, you're just seeking a public humiliation ritual for the girls.

The four staffers responsible for the terrible Tweets coming from this account were fired yesterday but I have been asked to name names. I will not give their full names out of respect to their families, but it was Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. I take full responsibility for losing control of the situation despite several of my friends telling me it was a real danger if I did not watch out.

@SpeakSamuel Why would someone still be on a H1B after 20 years?

Waiting for a consular appointment was already a problem for H-1B holders, but several policy decisions have made this issue much worse: 1.) The Trump Admin reversed a policy allowing them to renew their visas at any U.S. Embassy. Previously, visa holders could find a consular office with the shortest waiting periods and book an appointment there. Now, an Indian applicant needs to renew their visa in India--which has ridiculous waiting times. 2.) The Trump Admin removed a pilot program that allowed H-1Bs to renew their visas stateside--allowing them to wait out the bureaucratic process in the US so they could continue to work and be with their children as their ability to re-enter the U.S. is pending approval. 3.) The Trump Admin required that children and seniors be physically present at a consulate and get interviewed for visa renewal. The previously policy waived interview requirements for children under 14 and seniors over 79. The lines for getting your visa renewed extend far outside of the physical building. Imagine waiting hours line in India during over 100 degree weather--and you have to bring your baby with you. Imagine having to do this as a senior citizen. The Trump Admin needs to reverse these policies ASAP.

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…

@MarketPalmer_ But should you pay for a college degree that has little to no value.

Wanna help your kids? Give them their inheritance early. Help pay for their college, their wedding, their first down payment on a house. This will likely result in you giving them less money. But it will also result in you providing them more real value. Because a chunk of cash when your kids are 50+ won't benefit them as much as financial relief when they're 20-30.

Elon Musk's net worth: $805 billion. That's more than the bottom 53% of Americans combined. His effective tax rate: 3.3%. A truck driver pays 8.4%. Tax the rich.

The gaps in maternal healthcare outcomes that mothers in our city, particularly Black mothers, have faced are not new, but are the result of decades of disinvestment. This center is a major step forward in our work to address health inequities on the South Side while reaffirming our commitment to investing in the success and well-being of Chicago families.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

@rushicrypto Ok. Why is it based off home value. Does a 5k square foot house use more than a 2k?

I’m very confused about the number of people who think “property tax” is a sales tax on you home rather than taxes to pay for public services you use every day. “I paid off my home why do i still pay property taxes?!?!?” Oh, did you also stop using the roads and libraries and sidewalks and parks? Not worried about fires anymore?

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%. That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher. YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

While Trump deploys ICE in our airports instead of paying TSA workers, my administration is Protecting Chicago by canvassing to ensure neighborhood small businesses Know Your Rights, have ICE-Free Zone signs, and know the City stands with them in solidarity. Thank you to @AldRodriguez22 for joining us on last weekend's canvass in Little Village.
