I don’t care why you’re joining the fight at this point, we just need everybody out there, right?
I think it’s an easy word for people to use. I don’t take it as an offense to me.
We must abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty...
These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They must understand that we will fight their cruelty...
Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now.
If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
We’re going to hold people responsible. They can’t just get away with what they’re doing right now.
I’m blasting Democratic politicians for embracing a culture of incrementalism.
Voters didn’t turn out for Democrats last November not because they don’t want us to fight for our values, but because they think we don’t want to fight for our values.
What I find ironic about the current conversation surrounding our party is that the voices flocking to podcasts and cable news shows to admonish fellow Democrats for not caring enough about the struggles of working families are the same…
Fellow Democrats, for far too long we’ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types...
Today, as the blaze reaches the rafters, the pundits and politicians — whose simpering timidity served as kindle for the arsonists — urge us now not to reach for a hose.
listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types who would tell us that America’s house is not on fire, even as the flames are licking their faces.
Let's all recognize someone serving us for decades in Washington D.C., representing the state of Illinois with enormous integrity and honor.
The United States Constitution guarantees due process. We are witnessing Donald Trump erode our fundamental Constitutional rights in real time.
Do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on our defense of Black people, of trans kids, of immigrants — instead of their own lack of guts and gumption.
By contrast, Pritzker raised alarms about Trump’s regime alluding to the rise of Nazism in Germany.
