How many of Mitch’s staff have met with their own lawyers in the last two weeks?

The bots are out today.

If it gets just the teeniest bit warmer this weekend, the city can just play fireworks noises over the tornado sirens for the 4th and nobody would ever know the difference.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

All forms of bigotry are acceptable in the age of Trump, but anti-trans bigotry is the last form of bigotry that’s acceptable to people who claim they aren’t bigots.

"It only affects a few people" shouldn't be countered w/ "That's just 'first they came for' thinking." Yes, discrimination against a few is always an opening of the door for discrimination against more. BUT discrimination against a few matters in & of itself, b/c those few people are PEOPLE.

The mayor wants to create a Tenant Bill of Rights and other protections for renters. blockclubchi.co/3SCrS1c

Kinda getting Homelander vibes from Wisconsin.

useless, totally unable to meet the moment they were one vote from overriding the fourteenth amendment retire and give your job to someone who understands the stakes

We spent months digging into why it's so expensive to replace toxic lead pipes in Chicago, where swapping a single pipe can run $31,000 average. That's more --- a lot more --- than every other city we heard from, and we reached out to a lot. From @keertigopal.bsky.social and I.

Literally tapping the sign.

we missed peak culture

Name your fav TV pet that isn't Scooby-Doo. Wilfred

Seeing headlines like “Why your next <tech toy> will cost more!” when they really mean “Why you won’t be buying <tech toy> until the prices are sane again!” I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

If James Carville wants to try to hold back the tide, let him become irrelevant. I can't imagine a more useless person to be part of the future.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

HEY CHICAGO! The city wants to sell your parking meter company to the same private-equity firm that owns Omni Air International, the worst of the worst of ICE's charter airlines. The city council's finance committee is meeting about it TOMORROW. 1/

Hey, wouldn't it be fun if Congress jammed his pocket veto down his fucking throat?

"Deliver results. No, not like that."

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social No posts today, big dawg?

Anti-Capitalism also is super fucking annoying to hear living in this version of capitalism and seeing it doesn't have to be this way but is because of that imaginary fear. h/t @internethippo.bsky.social

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

Every time I hear a beach is closed because of high bacterial levels, I get it into my head that the government is just trying to keep us from meeting aliens, like in Close Encounters.

Alan Greenspan, Clive Davis, and does it really often happen in threes?

Tiny green checkmark! I'm official!

I'm guessing Meta sent out some muffin baskets for this article.

Look, it's not like he can challenge Talarico to a non-corruption contest. Or a "don't protect child rapists from legal consequences" contest.

Adrianne Lenker from Big Thief kinda reminds me of Kristin Hersh.

Kinda feeling this today.

Hit a bit of a roadblock, could really use a hand. Thank you all.

Guys, you misspelled "no more Chrome."

Dear visitors, Take it easy on the cologne, body spray, new car smell, or whatever the fuck that is following you around the building. Your preferred scent shouldn't be causing 1d4 airway damage to the rest of us. xoxo, R. from C.

How in the squeezably soft fuck are we halfway through June already?

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

Heads up for yet another push for the (wildly unpopular) "SAVE America Act," which would effectively disenfranchise millions of voters.

This is only meant to be used for "Poster's Madness" interventions. Please make a note of it.

Apple WWDC keynote is starting.

Happy Monday, Bsky! Do a kindness this morning, it’s good for you. 😁

The Exhibit Hall at the AFL-CIO’s constitutional convention highlights everything our labor movement has protested, fought against, fought for and won over the last 4 years. It’s a testament of how far working people have come, and our continued fight for economic justice.

"In April, Meta said if it were to utilize face recognition, it wouldn't be rolled out without first taking "a very thoughtful approach."" Right...

women deserve better

Trump Vandals Sack Kennedy Center

THE BISCUITS ARE DRY

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.
