Fellow Illinoisans, Last Tuesday was the filing deadline. Now, we wait to see if we’ll be official candidates this November. Whatever happens, remember this: We deserve to be on that ballot, whether or not we cleared the bureaucratic hurdles to their level of satisfaction. (1/2)

My political philosophy is libertarian socialism within the Green Party. I believe in a society where political and economic power is decentralized and held by communities and workers, not concentrated in the hands of government or corporate elites. (1/6)

I identify with libertarian socialism rooted in community power, mutual aid, and collective responsibility. Power belongs to the people, not institutions or corporations. (1/5) #suenosfestival #community

The framing that a third-party vote is a vote for Trump is a manipulation tactic designed to suppress third-party voting and keep people locked into the imperialist system. So the argument does not hold up mathematically. (1/5) #thirdparty #duopoly

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker condemned the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Louisiana voting map, calling it an “abomination.” He added, “It is an attack on a crown jewel of our democracy." #democracy #ballotaccess

Ballot inaccessibility is the status quo for Illinoisans, yet we still call it "ballot access." Just like the 13th Amendment supposedly abolished slavery, when all it did was rebrand it. (1/2) #ballotaccess #13thamendment

Governor Pritzker once sat on the AIPAC national board, defended Israel’s right to defend itself, and has since shifted his position. Pritzker calls AIPAC spending interference, while Illinois taxpayers have over $100 million invested in Israel Bonds under his watch.

This passage presents a critical and poignant reflection on the current state of the United States, challenging both historical and contemporary issues.

The ALT text for this slide is written throughout the body of the thread that contains this slide.

My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of bigotry, of thee I speak:
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
To conquer they must, when their cause is unjust.
The United States of America, as a government,
Is not of the people, by the people, for the people;
But of puppets, oligarchs, and a monopoly of businesses
Whose concentrated powers are derived from the silent consent
of the governed.
That all men are not created equal
Should read all human, but including women
Is too much for the patriarchy's ego.
Stolen land established upon those principles
Of slavery, fascism, injustice, and inhumane treatment
For which American veterans sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
The people are endowed with certain unalienable Rights,
That among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
But what are these rights when infringed by capitalism,
suppression, and oppression?

What is Liberty when anti-BDS laws exist?
What is Life when racism persists?
How does one pursue happiness
When exploitation is disguised as picking yourself up from your
bootstraps?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the government's sins
From the Epstein's files, genocide, and global systemic imperialist
institutions.

And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that oppressed people are
everywhere.
And this be their motto-"In Money is our trust."
Legal bribery has jeopardized the integrity,
As The People don't come second, only their donor's friend with a
trust fund.

Politicians are not public servants but legal actors by trade,
Performative at best, but not one Oscar ever gained.
They don't break character and play their roles well.
The world is a stage, the public entertained as if under some kind
of spell.
