COLOR ME SHOCKED: Jon Sheptock, a Christian musician and former worship minister at a Texas Baptist Church, was arrested in late September on charges of possession and production of child pornography.

You cannot defeat authoritarianism with purity tests. If you are actively working to splinter a unified front against authoritarianism, you are the problem.

Waking up every morning and checking the kidnapping report alongside the weather is not a thing anyone should have to do.

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

@govpritzker.illinois.gov And you should arrest the state troopers that beat peaceful protesters in Broadview.

With the Wooden Spoon set to be determined this weekend in MLS' Decision Day, let's revisit my article from last year on the Malort-fueled creation of the trophy, the mixed feelings about it, and how it's also a symbol of accountability in a league without relegation www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Free research idea for some grad student or non-profit out there: has anyone done a modern analysis of the Orange Line's impact on the Southwest Side, 30 years later? Probably goes without saying that it's been a huge improvement for Southwest Siders, but can induced new development be quantified?

Apparently I have been put on a Blue Anon blocklist. I am told this is bad because it will lead to less human interaction. Hmm.

Based on the excerpt from the posthumous Virginia Guiffre memoir, in which she describes being “trafficked” when she was 17 to “a gubernatorial candidate who was soon to win election in a western state.” Sitting North Dakota Senator John Hoeven was the only newly elected western governor in 2000.

This makes me happy.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

@esbrennt.bsky.social I thought you would enjoy this one.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Why are you not demanding that state and local police intervene to protect the public?

@playstation.com This looks like a PS5…

A double rainbow and a still-burning Russian oil depot in Feodosia

Anyone come to mind?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov You might want to start doing this.

#ICYMI @govpritzker.illinois.gov

I dunno @govpritzker.illinois.gov. Maybe an executive order revoking all concealed carry limitations so people can walk the streets of Illinois safely?

Is he dead yet?

Just so we’re all clear, the President is forcing troops from other states into Illinois so the secret police can continue disappearing our neighbors

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!! Just the one!!

In Tbilisi, protesters began building barricades and burning Russian flags

I said what I said.

The feds are terrorizing neighborhoods. DHS is a terrorist organization.

@riotfest.bsky.social Yo. The pricing on TIXR is off. You’re overcharging/under listing VIP passes as $384.60 but after fees and before taxes it adds up to $394.60.

Really? Then I’m ALL for it!
