“I am a retired teacher from the Chicago Public Schools. It is terrible what he (Donald Trump) is doing to education, but that’s not the worst of it, what he’s done to Ukraine, despite whatever deal he just made. What he’s doing with tariffs, ruining businesses across the country, what he has done to immigrants.”

++CONTAINS EXPLETIVE++
“Trump’s putting judges in jail, Trump is out here not following the law, not following the Constitution. They claim to care about all the Constitution, but as soon as it’s inconvenient to them, they spit on that shit. They don’t care about nothing. They just care about taking over this country, about giving more money to their people and taking money from the people who are already starving.”

STORYLINE:
Thousands rallied in Chicago on May Day to voice their opposition to the Trump administration on Thursday.
Protesters gathered in a West Side park before marching through downtown streets to the lakefront.
Some played drums and danced, while others chanted "No justice, no peace!"
The crowd included union workers, immigrant rights advocates, pro-Palestinian activists and students calling for better-funded public schools.
Among them was Lucia Sanchez, an immigrant from Mexico, who said President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration is concerning.
"The message is that we workers are decent people, we are not criminals," she said. "Please let us work for the good of our families and for the good of ourselves."
