"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system" www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

🚨🚨🚨Chicago - NOW!🚨🚨🚨 1/2

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW. While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

Spot on.

Wheel of Fortune, the Fall 2025 version, out now...🤭😅🤣

Chicagoans won’t put up with these terrorists

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record 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 this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

🤣😂

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Zelenskyy spoke at the Fifth Summit of the International Crimea Platform, emphasizing that the world cannot continue turning a blind eye to russian murder and occupation: “There must be no normalization of Russia’s war.”

Everyone needs to stand up to it. Everyone! The media & journalists need to stop bending the knee to a wannabe dictator.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Jimmy Kimmel deserves better than this. He’s a class act. Case in point - after my first appearance on his show back in 2018, he very thoughtfully asked whether I was receiving adequate security at that time, as Trump was repeatedly smearing journalists as “the enemy of the people,”

Polish Foreign Minister responds to Trump’s latest weak dipshittery.

We will never forget the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Twenty-four years later, we continue to share their stories, support their loved ones, and honor the heroes who responded that day and in the years that followed.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Here we go?

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Good morning everyone She tried to tell America But no, couldn't vote for a black intelligent woman Thank you for this clip @briantylercohen.bsky.social

Happy National Flag Day, Ukraine! “This flag is salvation for people we return from Russian captivity – when they see Ukrainian colors, they understand the evil has passed. This flag is the goal for our people in occupied territories. We will not give our land to the occupier.” -President Zelenskyy

You tell ‘em, Gavin!

From Russia Today's Telegram channel, this morning

🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!

EVIL 🤬🤬

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Leningrad was renamed St. Petersburg in 1991

Good trouble:

"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."
