Polls are open until 7 PM!

Illinois has same-day voter registration! Make sure you show up at YOUR assigned polling place with 2 forms of ID!

Die Energiewende durchzuziehen, wäre billiger als alle paar Jahre eine Ölkrise und sicherlich billiger, als Kriege für Öl zu führen. Und außerdem würde sie Arbeitsplätze schaffen, um die es doch eigentlich ging.

Warum das nicht in den Schlagzeilen: In Offenbach a.M. hat die AfD ihr Ergebnis HALBIERT. 2021: 7,3% der Stimmen. Gestern nur noch 3,5%*. Wenn "AfD stärkste Kraft!" kommt, wenn sie zB in Büdingen mit 25,4% vor der CDU (24,2%) liegt, warum ihre Niederlagen verschweigen? Warum sind nur AfD-Siege News?

He’s playin’ all his greatest hits.

And how is that different from Putin putting bounties on the heads of US personnel back in Afghanistan? The day Russia crossed the Rubicon is ages in the past and we’ve done nothing. How could we, when half of our leaders are on their payroll?

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below). adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Americans, I love you. I’ve been here for almost three decades. That said, what’s wrong with you and four way stops? Bad enough you use that stupid system, but you are all terrible at it. It’s not a freaking negotiation or a niceness contest every time. First come, first go. Get it together pls.

Colorado peeps - I’m sitting at DIA for a pick up. Anybody else thinking it would have been faster and cheaper to demolish this airport and build a new one than this eternal nightmare of a renovation?

AfD Bayern: Ein Abgeordneter wurde wegen Geldwäsche und Nötigung verurteilt, ein verurteilter Mörder kandidiert für die AfD in München, ein verurteilter Volksverhetzer in Ramersdorf-Perlach, jetzt kam ein anderer AfD-Kandidat in Bamberg in Untersuchungshaft – Vorwurf: vorsätzliche Körperverletzung.

🚨BREAKING: Todd Lyons, the acting chief of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has admitted to senators that federal immigration officers would have “no reason” to be at voting locations this November. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So let's stop being so overly polite. this isn't "an unhealthy obsession". He continuously posts white supremacist views as his own, which means he IS a white supremacist. Add his totalitarian views and that makes him a fascist. Period. How's that Sieg Heil salute looking now, huh?

If we can’t stand for human rights here and abroad, we can’t credibly fight fascism anywhere. Palestinian freedom is tied to our fight against authoritarianism at home. You cannot defend democracy while aligning with anti-democratic interests like AIPAC.

Colo. Sen. Michael Bennet (D) is claiming credit for spending projects he voted against. Bennet said he couldn't support other issues in the bills. Unlike Rep Lauren Boebert (R), who's done the same, Bennet wouldn't say if he still would have voted NO if he was the deciding vote

ARE YOU A KAT PERSON? Come drop off any t-shirt at 7016 N Clark St and we’ll turn it into custom Kat campaign merch!

The right wants so bad to be in the Hollywood “in” crowd but they pretend they don’t. Thats why they’re desperate for their Super Bowl show to not suck like it did

There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

So a machine can finally do a fraction of what humans have been able to do for eons and the tech class collectively wet themselves. Why can so few people see how bottomlessly stupid that is?

These days I really depend on #audiobooks so I don’t have to constantly think about the world, or my life within it. Anyone else?

Is it just me or does this gently whitewash the Epstein files? I’m a big fan of the Guardian, but this hit me as tepid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I don’t get why the biathlon is separated between male and female athletes. That seems counterintuitive.

The entire problem we have with the far right and declining democratic norms in America and Europe would disappear if the Kremlin disappeared. Russia now runs America as an extension of its global agenda of chaos by sowing far right seeds in democratic countries.

SWORN TESTIMONY!!! June 18, 2016 "I personally witnessed defendant trump telling the plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything if she didn't want to dissappear like the 12 year old female ⬛️⬛️⬛️ and that he was capable of having her whole family killed."

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why? Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

From what I gather Senator Lindsey Graham isn’t mentioned in the Epstein files. We can safely assume then that #Epstein never had boys in his parties.

It’s not that America hasn’t had terrible, awful, unqualified, corrupt and partisan people in office before. It’s just that the times when that happened are generally referred to as backwards and laughable, a reminder of how far we’ve come as a culture. Well, so much for that I guess.

There is no single dumber expression than “woke mind virus”. Let’s walk through this for the guys in the back: - wokeness is an idea or a collection of ideas - ideas aren’t medically contagious. They either spread bc they are compelling or they die off - if an idea spreads it’s bc it was compelling.

This is undeniably, factually true.

This from the same guy who announced that every single American would lose over 300lb before the mid-terms bc of GLP-1s. Maybe leave the mathing to others, Mr. Öz.

The thing I’ve always liked about Tulsi Gabbard is that you know what she stands for - Tulsi Gabbard.

I’m trying to reverse-engineer my way to a sane life: reading magazines (thank you, Boulder Public Library online catalog) instead of online news/ doomscrolling. I have to say, there’s a case to be made for this.

Am I the only person who can’t tell Tom Bovino and Greg Homan apart? They’re literally the same person!

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Am I the only one thoroughly unimpressed with Obama’s commentary on the present crisis?

Gov. Janet Mills: "If they have warrants, show the warrants. In America, we don't believe in secret arrests or secret police."

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Repeat after me:there is no deal about Greenland. He just didn’t like how he felt in Davos and backed down.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

My wife said it best, we’ve now reached the “Mad King George” phase of things.

It’s all about Russia and weakening the US. Always has been. The theater is just distraction.

The pivot from “I stand with Gaza” to “I stand with Minneapolis” is giving me whiplash.

I was all set to jump out of bed and start running my errands when my lab climbed into my lap, snuggled in, and passed out peacefully. Guess it’ll be an in-bed, no jobs kind of day!

So according to Obergruppenführer Miller a country doesn’t have sovereignty as long as there’s another country that’s stronger and could hypothetically conquer it. Am I getting that right?
