DSA Statement. We Stand in Solidarity with Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez. 6/15/26. DSA stands united against attacks on our members. We are appalled by the rising tide of political violence in this country which culminated last night in an explosive device detonated at the home of Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez. While we are relieved to hear that Byron and his family are safe, we understand this attack as an attempt at intimidation. Byron’s independent campaign for Congress is a challenge to the political establishment. DSA’s work across the country challenges the status quo and inspires working class people everywhere to organize for a better world. Our opponents believe they can use acts of terror to frighten us into silence, but they are wrong. DSA will ensure our local chapters continue their valuable work with security practices in place to keep our members safe. No one should have to fear retaliation for speaking the simple truth: workers deserve more.

Its "pro-landlord" to prioritize building apartments that cost $500/mo (or something affordable) instead of $$$ priorities of the IL Realtors? IL Realtor Association is not in the business of ending homelessness. Byron is. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

⭕️ NEW: “They Broke His Teeth and Ribs”: 66-Y.O. Palestinian Leader Marwan Barghouti Savagely Beaten in Israeli Custody Qassam Barghouti, the son of prominent Palestinian political prisoner Marwan Barghouti, wrote in a social media post on Fri that his father was severely beaten & abused in prison.
⭕️ NEW: “They Broke His Teeth and Ribs”: 66-Year-Old Palestinian Leader Marwan Barghouti Savagely Beaten in Israeli Custody

Qassam Barghouti, the son of prominent Palestinian political prisoner Marwan Barghouti, wrote in a social media post on Friday that his father was severely beaten and abused in prison.

“I woke up to a phone call from a recently released Palestinian prisoner this morning. He told me: ‘Your father was brutally beaten. They broke his teeth and ribs, cut off part of his ear, and fractured his fingers gradually for their amusement,’” Qassam Barghouti wrote. 

“What am I supposed to do? Who do I turn to? We’re living this nightmare every single day… My God, have mercy on us. My father is now 66 years old. My God, where will this generation find its strength?” 

🎥 Barghouti’s family launched a global campaign last week urging his release. More than 200 prominent cultural figures, including writers, actors, musicians and public figures, have signed an open letter supporting the call. Actor Khalid Abdalla also spoke to Sky’s Yalda Hakim about the renewed push.

Jonathan Joss' (actor from King of the Hill and Parks and Rec) husband has released a statement that amongst other things claims his murder was part of a homophobic attack. A high profile hate crime at the very start of Pride. Absolutely heart breaking.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss
My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.
Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.
When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.
While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.
Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.
Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.
He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.
I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.
To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.
My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.
If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.
Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.
