I’m so done with people who don’t u understand history.

If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

Is he dead yet?

I love how the media is normalizing these concentration camps that are going up in certain states. Just disgusting. What has America become? I weep.

This is outstanding!!! open.spotify.com/album/3d8kBV...

@jimderogatis.bsky.social hey Jim please don’t hate me but I never realized how amazing Black Sabbath was. I mean I’m going through difficult times and I saw they reunited for one show. I’m not usually a fan of metal but omg just amazing.

@jimderogatis.bsky.social what do you think of the new record by U.S,Girls? I’m kind of digging it. open.spotify.com/album/3d8kBV...

ICE can fuck off!!!

Just a few pics from No Kings in Chitown

@jimderogatis.bsky.social him it’s been a while. I know the passing of the greats in Sly and Brian but I hope you get a chance to listen to the new Pulp record “More”. I think it’s fantastic. Also your thoughts on Turnstile “Never Enough”. Usually not a fan of hard core but I’m kind of liking it.

I’m going to the No Kings protest in Chicago wearing my union red!!! We must stand up to this despicable excuse of a human being. FDT!!!!

@jimderogatis.bsky.social so my partner bought me a record player and one of my friends gave me XTC Skylarking as a gift. Have you guys done an album dissection of this record. Omg. Just brilliant!!!

@jimderogatis.bsky.social I absolutely love the new Perfume Genius record. I think an absolute masterpiece. Would love to hear your opinion.

Trump is going full dictator by pursuing an investigation into Miles Taylor. He also caved on HIS unilateral trade war. His Administration allegedly broke the law by revealing confidential information in Signal-gate. He has kidnapped and deported innocent immigrants. Keep track of it all.

A reminder: Republicans control the House and Senate and it would just take a few to stand up to Trump for the sake of our democracy and economy, but none of them will. All are complicit.

“She pauses in front of a cage where human beings have been posed to her liking…The message is this: America is no longer a shining city on a hill. It no longer stands on the side of liberty as a beacon for those who yearn to breathe free.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

To work for Donald Trump means you have to lie as you breathe.

The G.O.P. has become the party of deceit and the worst kind of opportunist I have ever seen. Power is more important than integrity and doing the right thing. So sad!!!

Apparently, Trump hates this portrait of himself. So I really don't think he'd like us to share it everywhere. He might have another temper tantrum. But since I really love anything Trump hates, I feel it's my duty...

Patriotism isn’t about waving flags or standing for the national anthem. It’s about loving your country enough to make sure your neighbors have what they need and that their freedoms stay protected.

Claiming discrimination at the end was icing on the cake...

Will America ever recover from this dark chapter?

@jimderogatis.bsky.social Hey Jim I have been listening g to Clap your Hands Say Yea an I’m wondering your thoughts. I have Ben a long time fan.

So much for government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

@jimderogatis.bsky.social hey Jim I’m really digging this record. Pretty awesome!! open.spotify.com/album/4w5yIv...

Dan Crenshaw: "There is absolutely no way that Donald Trump will be seen -- he will not let himself go down in history as having sold out to Putin. He will not let that happen." (Bookmark this one.)

@jimderogatis.bsky.social hey Jim just wondering what your thoughts are on the band Porridge Radio?

I don't know who made this, but it's a handy list for us to keep track.

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows). Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.

@jimderogatis.bsky.social Hey Jim thanks for the shout out on Sound Opinions. A little about me I am a 54 year old Special Education teacher in the city of Chicago. I have been following your show ever since you guys were on WXRT. I love your show and have learned so much. I hope to listen to more

This record makes me want to go out and fight someone but in a loving way if that makes any sense. open.spotify.com/album/4GzF4Y...

@jimderogatis.bsky.social wow this is pretty raw. Check it out!! open.spotify.com/album/4GzF4Y...

So Trump wants to whip up a fight over renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Because, as we’ve learned, such distractions help hide his utter absence of actual policy and interest in genuine governance.

Sweet Jesus. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-spe...

I want everyone to know that I despise everything about Trump and MAGA. We all need to join together and become the resistance to his authoritarian rule.

First off, he’s an idiot. It’s “half-staff” for flags on land, “half-mast” for flags at sea. More importantly, he’s an utterly pathetic, horrible human being.

This is how you throw some shade. "One should love America when you win and when you lose. And that's the America Democrats will fight to preserve. " Notice how quiet the GOP got? 🤣
