What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Part of ICE’s efforts will be setting up random traffic stops and checkpoints throughout the city and making educated guesses about who to detain and who not to detain. These 'Guess Stops' will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or 'Guess-Stop-O for short.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

We live in a country where the official policy is that race can’t be considered for giving people access to education but is the primary consideration for caging and disappearing people. The official policy.

A perfect afternoon in Astoria.

it is always worth remembering that vance made a conscious decision to be a person of low character. he has eagerly contorted himself into evil for the sake of what amounts to a whiff of power.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” - Fred Hampton

As our neighbors vanish daily, this serves as a meaningful way to honor them and highlight the extent of this issue throughout the city’s

J.B. Pritzker smashing through the fascism wall like he's the Kool Aid Man

Outside Dupont north metro

There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.

it's crazy how we just take for granted now that the president is a deranged racist

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

Ohio managed to get thousands of people to hold hands and link arms in a human chain that stretched 8 miles to stand against ICE. 8 miles of humans linked together.

Something really cool from TikTok I’ve never seen before: Joan Jett in full Orioles dress practicing with the team. Does anyone have context on when this is from? My guess would be like the late 70s?

Paul Dama left Nigeria after being kidnapped in 2018. His detention by ICE now feels like “a second kidnapping,” says his sister. “I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀

If we ever move past this administration, we cannot just turn the page on this. We need prosecutions: www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The wild thing about having this guy in power, and by extension all of the buffoons above, below and beside him, is you're like, "This is going to end so badly, but I can't quite figure out how. And also it's going so badly right now, so it's impossible to gauge just what more bad will look like."

Welcome to the resistance

Can someone in the legacy media explain what the purpose of "viewed as" is in this headline. The character Shylock was anti-Semitic and the term has always been anti-Semitic. Is WaPo suggesting there is a different way to "view" it? Are they blind to anti-Semitism? Or sucking up to Trump?

ABOLISH ICE

In light of stripping Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship, on this anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, & in the sad aftermath of the assassinations of Melissa Hortman, her husband, & her dog, I need to observe that Milk and Mayor Moscone were also assassinated by a white male conservative.

Just learned Zohran Mamdani is Mira Nair's son!!

The Ku Klux Klan tarred and feathered its opponents as a painful and humiliating message to others. I never imagined a Speaker of the House advocating for vigilantism against a political opponent. We must never tolerate the advocacy of violence. x.com/cspan/status...

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Lately, I've been reminding myself that 75 million voters chose Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. We didn't defeat Trumpism at the ballot box. But remembering that 75 million US adults rejected hatred and fear helps me stay encouraged during these difficult days, weeks, and months.

My suggested answer to these questions is we currently have a president systematically dismantling our constitutional republic, alliances & institutions while committing unprecedented fraud & grift, so I’m not really concerned about an 82 year old retired president right now.

if coogler looked like damien chazelle no one would question the studio deal given his record of hits. fruitvale station: $17 million on a budget of $900K creed: $173 million on a budget of $35 mil black panther: $1.35 BILLION on a budget of $200 mil bp2 2: $859 million on a budget of $250 mil

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Holy crap Indiana cut public health funding to $40 million annually The Governor's public health commission recommended $225 million annually to get us to median 2019 state spending levels Good grief

Gov. Mike Braun’s family home in Jasper will be getting at least $118,000 in various security improvements, paid for by the Indiana Department of Administration. via @indianacapitalchronicle.com www.newsfromthestates.com/article/brau...

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

I agree, though the movie itself tried to warn us this would happen.
