Amen to this RS

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

A friend, who went to law school at Northwestern, shared this today:

“I told them that I probably wouldn’t be able to make my appointments anymore, well, because I’m really afraid given what happened to my husband.” Harrowing reporting from @shefali.bsky.social and Mel Leonor Barclay at @19thnews.org.

It’s amusing to see the Democratic leadership wake up to the fact that if you stand up to a bully you surprise him. They’re all like, “Wait. You mean we might have a bit of power & we don’t have to reach across the aisle & play nice with authoritarianism?” AFTER EIGHT & A HALF DAMNED MONTHS. 🤦🏾‍♀️

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.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

stephen miller was not bullied nearly enough in high school

This right here.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

I say we all just become ungovernable. Random, confusing behavior. Not harmful just weird and disruptive

JD VANCE: "My mother got the drugs that almost killed her from Mexicans." REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

‼️‼️

Is wel zo

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I waited to post this until I had permission from the writer. This is real and it's frightening. The blood running through the veins/arteries of the monsters in the R' party/Project 2025/Russell Vought has been replaced with cruelty and evil. 😡🤬😭

Maybe the Israeli government should stop doing war crimes if they don't want their heinous actions to be described accurately. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

I see people are posting their fantasies of Thunberg being tortured again

Vill ni höra något vackert ska ni lyssna på det här klippet om Greta Thunbergs förlorade grodhatt.

Greta Thumberg posts what is likely her final message before interception tonight. 👇

You either stand with Greta. Or you stand with tyranny.

Will someone remind me why Greta Thunberg can be arrested but Benjamin Netanyahu can't?

"Day 256: When children are zip-tied on our streets at 2am, we can’t afford silence. This isn’t protection—it’s repression. History is watching. What will we do?" #ProtectOurKids

This is all they want. They don’t care about a trial or a conviction.

This is it #trumpshutdown 🎥: @warnock.senate.gov

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

This week's comic is now up on @contrariannews.org ! - A Busy, Busy Day in Washington DC - contrarian.substack.com/p/tom-the-da...

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

"We"? Who is "we", Kristi? Kudos to the municiple police department.

Seems about right. 😐

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

NO MORE FATTIES. Does that mean we get a new commander in chief

David Cross folks.

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

The below post is from CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei yesterday. It comes one day after Chicago journalist Steve Held was detained while covering a protest outside the Broadview immigration facility. Absolutely inexcusable attack perpetrated by an ICE thug. He should be fired immediately! 😡
