Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

State Rep. Ruwa Romman has officially launched her 2026 campaign for governor. Rep. Romman, who represents Gwinnett County, says Democrats need a bold vision to organize and inspire voters.

The only journalist detained by ICE is on the verge of being sent to El Salvador, a country he fled out of fear of persecution for his speech. He was lawfully reporting in Atlanta, GA when he was detained. Here's Mario Guevara’s harrowing account. bittersoutherner.com/journalist-m... #FreeMario

Please help Georgians raise the volume on this horrific detention & pending deportation of Mario Guevara. Legal avenues to prevent this journalist from being sent to El Salvador are narrowing. He needs our voices! #FreeMario @indivisible.org @indivisiblenma.bsky.social @indivisibleatl.bsky.social

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.

I am paraphrasing what someone else said on here. I can't recall who. What Kristol/Never-Trump conservatives have in common with Sanders/AOC Dems is that neither bloc was shaped by/allied with the Dem establishment. So both blocs see Jeffries/Schumer as ineffective and say that bluntly.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

CDC vaccine panel revises childhood immunization guidelines The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to change its recommendations around certain childhood immunizations, including the MMRV vaccine, despite data showing that the vaccines are safe and effective.

On January 26, 2024 the ICJ ordered the state of Israel to prevent what was clearly becoming a genocide. Since then, each echo of what we’ve warned about for almost 2 years fills me with grief. We could’ve saved so many lives. Instead, cowards capitulated to lies. Now here we are

RIP Robert Redford....

A lot of y'all didn't decry "political violence" when Tortuguita was shot 14 times in cold blood by state troopers, but have a lot to say about someone whose assailant remains at large with an unknown motive. Why is it complicated when the victim is brown? Why is it so easy then the victim is white?

I took a lot of bible courses decades ago — really — and I don’t remember there being a grand prize for making the most pious social media post being on the list of “get you into heaven” items.

Good day to remind people that we wouldn't have this Supreme Court if it weren't for Mitch McConnell deciding that no Justices can be considered during an election year and then deciding that Justices can be confirmed one month before an election. McConnell's evil directly enabled Tr*mp's evil.

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy

SB 185, banning gender affirming care for incarcerated ppl in GA, was ruled unconstitutional, and now the GAGOP is calling for the removal of the judge. Transphobia is directly tied to democratic backsliding and it’s a farce to pretend it isn’t. Liberation for all of us or none of us. Cc: democrats

🎉 DeKalb Commissioners have just approved $200K in funding for reproductive healthcare!!!🎉 📰 This makes Dekalb County the 1st county in Georgia to fund reproductive healthcare, including abortion!

Housing Justice League debuts ambitious housing policy vision for Atlanta The group’s “Housing First” platform urges the city to define affordability based on local income metrics.

Read the letter from 31 members of the GA House & Senate to Gov Kemp requesting corrective action to stop armed troop deployment to Washington D.C. and recall Georgia’s National Guard. Sending our armed troops to occupy other American cities is wrong.

Democratic state lawmakers are asking Gov. Brian Kemp to recall Georgia National Guard members recently sent to Washington, reports @alander.bsky.social.

The destruction of the CDC and our public health system impacts everyone’s health. The Aug 8 shooting was a culmination of years of misinformation about public health workers and science. We lifted up the voices of CDC experts - some who just quit so they could tell the truth-today.

Labor Day Atlanta - Thousands of protesters are now marching from Woodruff Park to the King Center in Atlanta! Let’s go!

On Aug. 22, a catastrophic explosion erupted at Smitty’s Supply, a major lubricant manufacturing facility in a predominantly Black town of Roseland, Louisiana. The blaze swept through the 15-acre complex that housed half a million gallons of flammable materials.

✅ Voting rights win in DeKalb County! A GOP-backed lawsuit challenging 5,000+ voters has been dismissed. Advocates call it a major step to protect free and fair elections ahead of this year's Nov. 4 election.

The winds of change might be blowing through Georgia. At least, that’s what Democrats are hoping for as both parties gear up for a competitive runoff election for an open state Senate seat. Story by @mayahoman.bsky.social.

But by far and away, the biggest priority for a Heritage Foundation-captured CDC is going to be using the agency's legal frameworks for access to medical data, and weaponizing them to control women. *Most* of the Project 2025 plan for CDC is a witch hunt against abortion on an unprecedented scale.

I will discuss our preliminary attendance estimates (using @gelliottmorris.com's formula), as well as my observations covering these protests for @thexylom.com, at a webinar, "Protest as a Science: How Americans are Responding to Trump 2.0", next Wednesday, September 3rd, at 11 am EDT:

Yet another instance of Trump using an accomplished Black professional as a political weapon. This man's corruption and vindictiveness knows no bounds. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/25/t...

Join the resistance and fight for our democratic rights on every front. Sisterhood and solidarity must prevail for us to turn back the tide that threatens all of us!

Even now in the 21st century, women’s reproductive freedom has been reversed and must be restored! And voting rights for all remain on the chopping block at this very moment.

Today is Women’s Equality Day, marking the ratification of the 19th Amendment 105 years ago. On paper, women were given the right to vote. In reality, the opportunity was available only to white women. It was decades later until women of color could fully access their right to vote in America.

Follow along as the results come in for today's special Georgia state Senate election. @mayahoman.bsky.social will have a full story on the results later.

#2 immediately made me think of studies showing Gen-Z being the first generation where men are more religious than women, and how that might be reflecting an alarming trend of young men drifting towards religious fundamentalism and religious nationalism: www.vox.com/explain-it-t...
