Some personal news

Yeah. Hey, do you happen to know anyone who is in a position of power, maybe someone in a powerful role in the Senate, who can do something about all that?

Wow, this guy was a scientist once. Like, a real one.

“It is difficult to ascertain with specificity what may be depressing demand.” Tourists have been arrested and put in detention! Is there really a question why people might not come???

Excellent.

Playing politics with disaster relief funding is a new low, even for the Trump Administration. Let’s call it for what it really is: a politically motivated decision that punishes thousands of Illinois families in a critical moment of need.

Hearing from both Sam Darnold and Bad Bunny it’s all about believing in yourself 🙌

Yeesss

Not dead yet, apparently.

OK, that’s the game right???

WOW

This isn't your fighter, Democrats. Newsom won't get it done. He's compromised. Calling it now. Just a reminder... www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

cepr.net/publications... Please, please let’s put the financial industry in check-every Democrat needs to put this in their platform.

Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

Regardless of your preference in IL-09 between Biss and Kat Abu, it says a lot about where the Democratic Party is heading that a frontrunner in a tight race is proudly committed to cosponsoring a bill designed to block military assistance to Israel and is making AIPAC his #1 enemy.

Legally here on a work permit. Arrested when he went to renew it. Not fighting his deportation. Yet he's been in detention 29 days. No access to a lawyer. Has been given no information about his case. Family inquiries also ignored. ICE only responded when local news requested comment.

Wrestling fans, we see you 🫡

FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs: “Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”

Seems like this is something @ilattygeneral.bsky.social should seek to emulate for Illinois, seeing as the Cook County State’s Attorney has told us all to get fucked repeatedly

again, the hogs do not know that they are playing with fire

Thread. Surprise, AZ ✊✊✊

Damn you’re telling me the technology that was very obviously intended for unregulated speculation and criminal enterprises was used to do awful things

❤️❤️❤️

Also note there is the Puerto Rican Museum in Humboldt Park which is great and free!

we need every grain of sand in the gears. every single one.

The fact that every reporter, especially every woman reporter, doesn’t just walk out when he says stuff like this is so telling.

Holy shit. Guys, is quitting is an option.

I thought this was known? Or at least understood to be a major factor.

IT IS THE LAW YOU ASSHOLE

Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison: Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill" Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS

she literally did commission several articles that ran in The Daily Beast at this time. Maybe do some research before you make sweeping and false allegations (also, last time I checked, Tina Brown was not a senior member of the FBI) www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epst...

For non-academics, it is STANDARD to have a “limitations to are research” note-you have to have this!

OK, every elected Dem needs to visit a place now.

This is great I miss the bots ❤️

Very funny if the NFL imposes more penalties as compared to Congress 🙃

Thank god. 🙌

He has a lot of faults, but, props to Finkelstein here.

ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises Staff claim promised bonuses and insurance have failed to materialise, with some reporting they cannot afford medical care for sick children www.ibtimes.co.uk/ice-employee...

I like that the republicans went from “OBAMA IS GONNA TELL YOU WHICH DOCTORS YOU CAN USE” to “Clippy is now your gynecologist.”

It’s hard to focus on one thing to be appalled about, but these stories out of Minnesota are awful. (And, of course, on the other hand, very encouraging.) I cannot believe you can wrongly grab somebody, transport them, and then leave them where YOU took them.

This right here

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

“Every worker soon to lose their status is receiving “$2,000 and a hug” from the center; many residents are contributing more out of their own pockets.” 😢 www.jta.org/2026/01/30/u...

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it
