These two sorry looking yahoos were the entirety of counter protesters in Rockford, IL.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

WTF?

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Pay attention. "Plenary authority is legal power that is full, complete, and unrestricted in a specific area. When used in reference to government officials, the term "plenary power" is more common." My Magic 8 Ball says, "All signs point to buckle the f*%k up."

On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world. Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others. Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

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"

On Oct. 1 — what would have been President Jimmy Carter's 101st birthday — the U.S.P.S. will issue a commemorative stamp to honor his life and legacy. This Forever stamp features the art from the 1982 oil-on-linen painting created as a life study by artist Herbert E. Abrams.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...
