"WELCOME TO THE RESISTANCE"

representative jan shakowsky shouted out at a protest taking place at o'hare airport tonight.

i've been trying to find a video of this but i can't. i saw it on wgn's news at 9pm

currently they don't have the clip on their website-- maybe too soon

anyway--it was WONDERFUL to hear her say that!

it will be opined that the Trump administration's biggest blunder was not letting the masses cool down after the inauguration. We have momentum on our side now after the March showed us how it's done.

Thanks, magnificent Ladies of America!

she spent much of last night on the phone, trying to get ohare detainees released, which did happen.
the woman is a force of nature, and i have told her many times that if she would run for president i would leave my entire f'ing life behind to make it happen.

proud of the rest of the dems who are standing up w her, too. my state rep, kelly cassidy is in that top right pick, she of marriage equality in illinois.
(tho, that is my scummy alderman next to her. he can go ---- himself)
