Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Currently in Chicago... This looks peaceful to me...

Huck n Finn are getting vet care & will each be looking for hound loving homes! These beagle mix boys are cuties who deserve homes with kindness & love! To donate or adopt ♥️ rescuecoop.org/donate

Seen in Chicago

This Is Fascism

This is real. This... {deep breaths} I cannot even find the right word... actually said this about this year's richly deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner. He did everything he could to denigrate her win. (Screenshot below altered merely to remove an ad.)

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

We're basically in a "Kingdom Come" Luthor / Shazam situation right now, where Stephen Miller is Lex and Trump is Billy Batson

School performance, graduation rates, and proficiency are all making strides in Illinois. We know that here we can’t abandon the pursuit of academic excellence.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch. Well, guess what? There is no free 747 either.

Pals! It’s $5 Friday! When we saw this mama n her 2 puppies in a rural NC shelter….with their weary looks of defeat….we just had ta help. Mama Maggie is HW+, her 2 puppies Huck n Finn need basic vet care. If you’d like to help, we truly thank you ♥️! rescuecoop.org/donate

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

feds have been all over chicagoland today. reports of people abducted from back of the yards, cicero, rogers park, hermosa, barrington, batavia, and bridgeview. feds are out in force in aurora. not sharing video, but residents have likewise turned out in force—and they aren't happy.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

"Putin couldn't do a better job" of attacking America. How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)

Wow 👇

Thanks, New Yorker

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Make America Great Again… GTF Out!

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Authoritarianism is a lot harder without enough toadies to file the paperwork. Trump’s DOJ is hollowing out as career lawyers flee and unqualified loyalists stumble. The result? Legal chaos, botched cases, and a whole lotta flailing.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

After yelling and obfuscating to senators for hours, Dick Durbin hit her with this one: "Eventually you are going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will." Suddenly, she went SILENT.🔥 She knows. You're phucked, Pam....just sayin'

This strikes me as pretty bad

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

This is good!

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Obedience, Authority, and the Illusion of the Oath Why We Can’t Count on the Military to Save Us from a Rogue President www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/obedience-...

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
