Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

"The Republican Party has a long and proud history of producing the nation’s finest male cheerleaders. In the past 50 years, more Republican presidents have been male cheerleaders than seen combat."

Read the BANNED BOOKS first....

I'd like to report a murder. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

What what what we're just tackling senators now?

Stop what you're doing and read this. Right now. @theoriginaltomjoad.bsky.social thank you for this piece.

PSA: Invoke EU 261 on a cancelled flight from the EU and everyone's attitude at #United changes immediately. Those magic words took me from $300/passenger to $600/passenger in a heartbeat.

Anyone else getting stiffed by @unitedairlinesual.bsky.social for a cancelled flight? I was stuck for 24 hours (meaning I needed a hotel) and they're refusing to cover it. I miss @petebuttigieg.bsky.social!

We agree with Fiona: Nobody should be sitting in jail just because they can't afford the price of their freedom.

hear me out what if we *neither* unconstitutionally accepted jets from a foreign nation *nor* kept throwing the jets we already have in the ocean?

V for Villanova and Vatican City!

Just saying: if Villanova makes the Tournament this year we will be INSUFFERABLE. (And Knicks in 4, obvi.)

The hero we need

✅American. ✅Chicago native. ✅Villanova alum. Never thought I’d have so much in common with the Pope but I am here for it! Vs up for “peace be with you!”

A Pope from Villanova?! Knicks in Four.

VILLANOVA POPE

Time to reshoot the Villanova AT&T commercial to include the pope

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

Grab your #irish and hang on tight.

The pals at home celebrating #stpatricksday.

My Irish immigrant pal (with my Irish immigrant husband) have this to say on Chicago’s St. Paddy’s Day celebration: we’re for ALL immigrants (because that’s America). #immigration

Rory finds sunshine spots and immediately throws a blue steel vibe when he finds them. #doggo

Fake Spring #1 had me fooled for the 43rd time. I will never learn.

We marched for women’s rights yesterday and the @chicagotribune.com captured my beautiful sister in law and niece. May this be the last time my 7 year old niece needs to demand equality for her gender.

Women's rights are human rights. They aren't negotiable on International Women's Day or any day. Here in Illinois, we celebrate the contributions of the incredible women in Illinois' history and honor them by continuing to push our state forward.

Three generations of my family showed up today and raised our voices. #internationaleomensday #resist @gemmesforfemmes.bsky.social

Chicago gets it.

My mom, my sis-in-law, and my 7 year-old niece rallied with Chicago’s women today. I couldn’t be prouder of my family and my city. #internationalwomensday

Obits like this truly show how awesome this city is - we have countless niche communities made culturally rich by talented, passionate guys like Dennis Wolkowicz. Thanks for this piece, @mollydevore.bsky.social.

Upset? Go outside. Happy? Go outside. Bored? Go outside. Answer is always go outside.

Before widespread vaccination eliminated measles in the U.S., almost everyone contracted this wildly contagious disease in childhood. And, 400-500 children used to die from measles each year.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.

Throw hundreds of paper airplanes at the president

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

@heidistephens.bsky.social nails it (as she always does). Access is not a trophy to be handed out to obedient participants in the president’s-any president’s-tale-spinning. Access is the price the president pays for the privilege of serving his constituents. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/28/h...

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

You know… Congress and the senate could always pass resolutions calling Russia the aggressor, supporting NATO and calling for a Ukraine victory. Just sayin…. Stop tweeting start forcing.

I don't doubt that this latest round of fascism will fail. It will. What I fear is the damage it will do until it fails

@chicagocta.bsky.social Apple Pay hasn’t worked across stations (and multiple users) for a week. What gives.

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.
