Pritzker: Illinois is not a place you can conquer and our people are not your subjects

The talking points from the extremist GOP is getting their audience ready for this. Not one leader on the left is preparing their audience. They are obviously going to use the #NoKings protests. There will be agitators incorporated into the crowds. This isn't new. It is the same playbook.

Republicans complain about immigrants changing the character of America, but they’ve welcomed the most dangerous foreign influence: former South Africans such as Musk and Thiel bringing an apartheid mentality to America.

I hope we are paying more attention than we were back in January 2021. This weekend is going to be a game-changer with a very high probability of the Insurrection Act being declared. Everyone will act surprised. Many will be blindsided because they 'didn't think he'd do it.'

Every single one of these Nazi motherfuckers is gonna have their jobs back in 2 months, that's the America-In-2025 Guarantee

John Roberts is slowly dismantling America www.salon.com/2025/10/15/j... Up next for Roberts: Dismantling the Voting Rights Act. Coming soon near you: Literacy tests, grandfather clauses, and other 'black codes' from our nation's past.

More AI than humans. Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian says 'much of the internet is now dead' www.businessinsider.com/alexis-ohani...

United Healthcare is ridiculous. Side note: Health insurance is ridiculous in this country. I've avoided a much-needed X-ray on a severely injured foot for 3 weeks because I'm still paying for my last X-rays. And I have 'good' insurance. But imagine being IN A COMA and being denied.

#NoKings Pay attention to the propaganda the administration is spreading. I never thought such a large section of the US would prefer a 'king' over democracy.

People are being disappeared, sir. ICE is increasing their violence against Illinois citizens.

Actions. We need actions from our leaders who claim to protect us from this tyrannical regime. Not words. A-C-T-I-O-N-S

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

A real discussion that needs to be had right now is happening in r/50501chicago. How dobwe prepare for the Trump administration invoking the insurrection act? What can be done by everyday people when it happens? How do we actually DO something other than complain behind screens?

Trump, speaking in the Israeli parliament, boasts about the weapons the U.S. has provided and says "you obviously used them very well." An estimated 20,000 children have died in the war in Gaza.

So #MAGA stands for Make Anywhere (but America) Great Again? Or, as I prefer, Make Americans Gullible Again.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

Never Again is now.

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

RADICALIZED BY BASIC HUMAN DECENCY.

No particular reason

a good arbiter of how close we are to bad hybrid regime shit is if the political comedy shows start getting pulled for whatever reason

"You be quiet!" Chair shouts. Not a sensational headline. Kash Patel totally loses it at hearing under questioning by Chuck Schumer. I mean Patel starting raving like a lunatic after being vaught in lie after lie. "I'm not going anywhere!" #USA #Trump #uspoli #UK #FBI #EU #News #Canada #cdnpoli

This is either the weirdest and most incredible lie told in this chamber or Kash Patel genuinely does not know who Dylan Roof is, and either way I am once again amazed at just how stupid and incompetent this little freak really is

Vance, Trump, and Bondi each said things yesterday that were horrifying on their own. Taken together, a very clear roadmap for the future emerges Trump is actively preparing a large-scale crackdown on left-wing dissent. The threat of widescale repression is no longer abstract; it is imminent

A reporter asked if Trump would order the removal of trans flags in DC. Trump says he wouldn't oppose it but says he could get around lawsuits by arguing it incites violence. The reporter follows up by asking if he would label trans people as a domestic terror threat to ban the trans flag.

RIP Demartravion “Trey” Reed, Delta State University (Mississippi) student found hanging from a tree in the middle of the campus.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

No facts are allowed in Trumps America. Especially from the media. Hell, just look at what Trump said about 300 million Americans dying last year.....

No Medal of Freedom for Melissa Hortman? Nothing but jokes when she, her husband, and dog were assassinated? Just your regular white supremacist hypocrisy.

What work should we continue? Calling murdered children of mass shootings collateral damage? Calling for the removal of legal immigrants? Doxing academics for teaching their subjects which include history and diversity? Fighting against common sense gun laws? Lying about everything? That work?
