Bush is just like “fuck, why didn’t Cheney tell me I could do that?”

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

#SIUC ...

the three stories at the top of the post app right now are 1) the fda is planning on further restricting covid vaccines based on evidence it hasn’t explained 2) trump saying he’s closing the airspace over venezuela without the power to do it 3) secdef probably committed war crimes

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal. Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military. Pure, mindless, barbarism. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pet...

And one more other thing I’m seeing now, that Northwestern unsurprisingly didn’t mention in its statement, effectively banning gender affirming care at NU school of medicine

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

🤔

🤷🏼

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.

What’s next?! The FDA saying it’s ok to have mercury in skin creams?? thehill.com/policy/energ...

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention. Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

This explains a lot

Basically electricity from solar plus batteries is already cheaper than fossil fuels in most of the world and the momentum is still increasing. Same for electric cars. We are also learning how to make bottom-up energy cheap and super robust. This is unstoppable.

Racial profiling is all they do. Lawless.

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately" he and his MAHA movement are child killers

There are now SIX, yes SIX, rooftop #solar installations on my boring, average city block on the middle of the northwest side of Chicago. I can walk to over a dozen solar rooftops in less than 5 minutes from my front door. It is an amazing time to be alive.

RFK Jr.’s junk science-ideology, raw politics & conspiracies have turned the CDC into an entity that no longer can be trusted on vaccines or autism.

This nurse from Maryland was on one of the recent flights to Ghana transferring third country nationals— under a still undisclosed agreement with the U.S. Certainly, she is not “worst of the worst.” Certainly her treatment in Ghana does not reflect solidarity and concern with fellow West Africans.

RFK Jr. just changed the CDC website with his fictional anti-vax talking points — promoting the blatantly false claim that vaccines cause autism. This is dangerous. Parents, please trust your pediatricians, not RFK Jr., about getting your children vaccinated.

Abolish ICE, prosecute their agents.

So let me get this straight: The same Trump DOJ that labeled this woman a “domestic terrorist,” shot her five times, and smeared her across national security briefings… is now quietly trying to wipe the whole thing clean?

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Like clockwork. ⏰ asia.nikkei.com/politics/int...

Ignore the performative, disingenuous cries of "antisemitism" Trump & GOP have so cynically used as a political shield. Look instead at what they're actually doing: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

According to people leading the government I guess it's OK to have a fcking nazi US Coast Guard now?!?!? What the hell?

PROGRESS! 27 more electric school buses on the road providing kids with CLEAN AIR! Way to go North Aurora, IL! electrek.co/2025/11/17/c...

the guy was killed, dismembered and chemically dissolved by the Saudi government. Really makes you wonder what the president has done himself to 'people who had it coming'. His rationale is chilling for people he sees as enemies, especially past confidants.

Chicago has had one 9/11 worth of people disappeared since the attacks began in September. Los Angeles has had two 9/11s since June.

JFC. DOJ attorneys assigned to U.S. atty's offices in MA, RI & NY said they had received briefings on a plan involving operations at churches btwn Thanksgiving & Christmas Day carried out by agents from the Homeland Security (DHS), (ICE), (ERO) & Border Patrol (CBP). www.rawstory.com/immigration-...

We stop this, in part, by having lots more folks organizing in their communities to support transit and pressing their Senators & House Reps. Want to learn how to do that organizing for free? Ask your local library to stock a copy of my new book and then borrow it islandpress.org/books/if-you...

Guess where.

This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said. “We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.” #borderpatrol #charlotte #nc

Congress & POTUS blowing up EV tax credits won't eliminate sales, but it's a headwind. IL is making sure the state EV rebate continues & necessary charging infrastructure continues to be built on the ground to be ready for the future as EV growth continues. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/13/i...
