Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

I only called to get a recipe, but staying on the phone with mom because I know in 20 minutes she’s going to remember a critical ingredient she left out. ❤️

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Some of us have risked our safety, our financial security, our freedom. Just once, it would be nice for them to show an ounce of the courage the people are demonstrating every fucking day.

Primary all of them.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Breaking: The Department of Justice announced it will "monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions [in New Jersey and California] ahead of the upcoming November 4, 2025, general election to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law." www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

Men would rather collapse a government than go to therapy

Ding! ding! Ding!

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW: (Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122 (Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831 Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336 I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

I also have no nostalgia for the road to fascism, which is a trap I think a lot of liberal and progressive folks are falling into—romanticizing the conditions that preceded this moment of acceleration. The path that led to this mess is not the way out.

I am of the belief that there are white people who repeatedly disrespect Black people with pedigree to remind us of our "place" in the social hierarchy. This is @profkori.bsky.social "Know Your Place" theory.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Kristi Noem couldn’t get to Twitter fast enough to use the Dallas ICE shooting for political points. But local news now says it was detainees who were shot — not ICE agents. She played politics, and three human beings are dead. We need an investigation into how this happened now!

Sorry the reason you are not seeing Black voices platformed to speak to this moment & are in fact seeing what few there were repressed is due to no lack of qualified Black intellectuals, it's deliberate white supremacism, so don't put a naive act on.

Not a Newsom fan, but glad someone is saying this. We need to get real. People don’t rise to the task without clarity about what the task is. Waiting is not an option.

With Sandy Brondello out, Cheryl Reeve has officially been on the job longer than every other WNBA coach combined. Cheryl Reeve's tenure: 5768 days Every other WNBA coach combined: 4529 days

I’m a Lynx fan, so I have never liked Sandy Brondello. She made PHX and NY a big problem for MN and that is exactly why it’s CRAZY that she’s been fired. I love women’s basketball, but the league and some of the organizations are making terrible staffing choices. #wnba

One side has UNLIMITED no strings attached money and the other asks for 50 pages of paperwork for $10,000.

In case you were wondering if Cunningham was still a terrible bigot. The Fever actively (probably with help of Clark) recruited her knowing full well the issues they're having with their fanbase and her ideologies. This is what I mean when I say the Fever knowingly court a right wing culture. #wnba

If Jimmy Kimmel is a real one, he’ll call for solidarity with all of the academics and students under fire for their speech about Palestine and Kirk

Eventually we have to stop buying that Dems sacrifice people in order to win. They are not winning! They believe their hateful ideas. Let’s start believing them.

“failing to keep up” is a wild frame.

Turned on MSNBC for the first time in a long time and heard the host ask if Trump expanding his enemies to late night hosts was “mission creep.” 🤡

I’m in Boston. This ad just came on TV

Stud Budz for the win!!!

I may or may not have been waiting to use this for weeks. #wnba

And the Liberty are eliminated!! Love to see it! Let’s go Lynx!

FOR THE FOLKS WONDERING WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: There is a direct ideological throughline between the "anti-CRT" movement/attacks on Black studies and the firing of Stephen Colbert and suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Not posting this to say "I told you so" but bc you must understand the storyline.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

You only need to win by 1! Go Lynx!

One positive thing that's happening is that the "let's meet in the middle" people are looking more and more unhinged in the eyes of regular people. My FedBook page which includes a lot of normies is on fire regularly. Folks are done.

I mean…this was really the best scenario. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Skylar letting everyone know who f*@% she is! #wnba

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

The Sky finish the season with fans chanting Fire Jeff and holding sign that read “Free Angel.” I love this city. #wnba

It's simple. They see themselves in him. They do not see themselves in his targets.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Like I just said on CNN, it’s absolutely evil that people are sleeping on concrete floors at the ICE detention center near Chicago. Join us to protest this Friday at 7 am at the Broadview Detention Center.

@leahlitman.bsky.social said it best: “Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."

Governor Pritzker isn’t playing— salt trucks form a blockade to block ICE — time to melt

Love my city!

It’s that time of year in Chicago when the AC and heat turn on in the same 24 hours.

"All of this demonstrates how contact with local law enforcement can lead to an immigration arrest, detention and deportation, even in jurisdictions where leaders try to put distance between police and immigration enforcement."
