In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Our country needs to understand, as it once did, how dangerous it is to recast violent racist hate as ‘just joking,’” write Roberta Kaplan and Michael Bloch, two of the lawyers who sued the white nationalist organizers of the 2017 Charlottesville rally.

This is NOT law enforcement. This is martial law. We cannot tolerate the militarization of our communities.

Holy Cow!!! I am SO EXCITED. 🤘

The Chicago Bears should refuse to meet with Brady to prep for the broadcast of Sunday's Cowboys game because they play the Raiders THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

I posted this only 2 months ago.....unfortunately it is necessary to repeat.

In Opinion | Almost every new lifesaving drug starts with government-funded research. But what happens when that funding is cut? In this Opinion video, meet the scientists who are trying to save the lives of you and your family.

Trump wants us to be Less educated and More compliant, Less healthy and More exposed to illness, Less tolerant and More hateful, Less transparent and More corrupt, Less wealthy and More indebted, Less reliable and More isolated, Less vocal and More obedient, and Less free and More scared. I refuse!

mRNA vaccines are safe and effective. They worked for COVID and now, miraculously, they provide hope for glioblastoma patients. PLEASE tell our dipshit, conspiracy theory-loving Secretary of Health and Human Services, to restore Federal funding for this life-saving research.

There are no good guys in political gerrymandering, just winners and losers...But regular people lose every time. It’s often said that politicians choose their voters when they draw political maps, when it should be the other way around. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2...

Wow!! Can we make this game an annual event, please?

So fun!

In case a reminder is needed, violence against your neighbor in the name of a political party or philosophy is not okay. We are all Americans.

Breaking News: A judge ruled that President Trump’s order targeting WilmerHale, a law firm associated with his political opposition, was unconstitutional.

Why do Illinois consumers need to be told where and how to purchase an EV? More competition is good for the consumer.

Incompetent, unqualified and making us unsafe. Remove Hegseth Now!

POTUS' planned tariffs represent an average tax hike of approximately $1,550/person. #MakingAmericaGreat😱

Please vote in your local elections! While national politics gets an oversized amount of attention, it is your local officials who have a more direct influence on the quality of your community, the public services you receive and the taxes/fees you pay.

Since Trump’s inauguration, the S&P 500 has dropped nearly 6%, the Nasdaq is down 10%, and analysts have warned that Trump’s tariffs will cause inflation and slow economic growth. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge increased 0.4% on the month – the biggest gain in a year. #MakingAmericaGreat 😱

Good news!

Per Dr. Elliott Eisenberg: After a significant rise in CEO optimism in months following the Nov election, CEO confidence fell 20% in early Mar compared to Jan and is now at its lowest level since spring 2020... It’s hard to see this boosting hiring or capital expenditures. Making America Great!

It's time for Bears to end this silliness and build their stadium in Arlington Heights chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/0...

"Why does the administration keep losing every case in federal court, regardless of whether the judge they are in front of was appointed by a Democrat or Republican?!" Because they keep doing illegal shit. Hope that helps clarify.

Hey @mayorofchicago.bsky.social, how can you say you are serious about public safety when only 6% of shootings lead to arrests. The lack of consequences has serious impacts on the victims (hopelessness) and the criminals (emboldened). But I am sure this is ShotSpotters' fault, right?

Share it with someone who needs it

The S&P 500 fell 3.1% this week, its worst showing in many months, after dizzying White House policy shifts on tariffs.

Fed judge issues sweeping injunction against Trump’s unilateral budget cuts. “The interaction of the three co-equal branches of government is an intricate, delicate, & sophisticated balance — but it is crucial to our form of constitutional governance. Here, the Executive put itself above Congress.”

Gee whiz, thanks for making America great!

Warren Buffett, the famed investor who runs the sprawling conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, described tariffs as “an act of war” in an interview with CBS.

Here is a more complete illustration of map where the elected officials choose their voters, instead of the other way around:

Some food for thought for the Administration.... Firing people doesn't change the law, reduce the work or relax regulations. All it does is reduce the number of people who can review a permit application, issue a license, protect public safety and perform other essential government services....

Raise your hand if your 2025 bingo card included Ga Ga singing "Dick in a Box." Thank you #SNL50.

If you don't think the rhetoric from our leaders influences people's behavior, go back to sleep and keep dreaming. When you lead with hate it normalizes it and makes it easier for people to express hateful behavior.

Um, this is precisely one of the powers specifically granted to the judiciary in Article III of the Constitution. It's called Checks and Balances!

Illinois will have local elections on April 1 when hundreds upon hundreds of candidates will run for local office. Learn more about candidates in your community and take time to vote - it makes a difference!

Moderate, principled and pragmatic resistance, or hysterical politics? I am in favor of moderate, principled and pragmatic resistance. Read the article for specifics:

This article sums up the story of Chicago pro sports right now....the highest rated front office among any Chicago team is the Chicago Bears, who are tied for #70. That's right, Chicago teams are not competitive and the consensus is they are not run by people who are qualified to get them there.

Shrinking, on Apple TV+, is such a great show! Love the cast and it gives you all the feelings. Check it out.

Still feels like more folks could be apprised of these very important facts. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/23/h...

“Never,” @govpritzker.illinois.gov jokingly answered when asked about the completion date of the current phase of the Kennedy Expressway. How about he drive it every day - he will find it's NOT a laughing matter. He may even get the frustration over the complete lack of accountability & oversight.

Trump's newest merch is a cologne/perfume set....I think I'd rather buy this one instead.
