No matter how many hit clips you see from @govpritzker.illinois.gov, the fact remains that the Illinois State Police are actively protecting and aiding ICE in their terrorizing of our communities.

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers. But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Are they trying to unalive us?

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

🧵 The founder of Gateway megachurch, a former faith adviser to Trump, pled guilty to sexually molesting 12-yr-old Cindy Clemishire in the 1980s. The victim went public with her truth in 2024, ending the silence that had tormented her and protected him for decades. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Interior Department has told its staff to bring their government laptops and phones home so they can monitor updates about potential mass firings.

I did not expect this kind of fire from Eliot Cohen, but he has Hegseth absolutely pegged www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is an excellent, quick read about the concrete results of this country's policies and attitudes toward women since the idiot took office. This poor woman. www.glamour.com/story/the-mi...

also, he's a liar! he says that he's never heard about things as a reflex because you don't have to answer about something you're first hearing since you "haven't considered it". he's a doddering, evil, lying idiot! all of the reasons are always simultaneuously true!

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Here’s the reporting @chrislhayes.bsky.social graciously referenced:

“From Twitter/X to FB to TikTok to Washington Post to CBS. Any opposition to this fascist project needs to focus, in part, on building and/or securing information infrastructure to ensure channels of dissent exist & remain available. The Dems have taken this infrastructure for granted. It’s gone.”

Yakima Jeffries is is a fucking clown and beyond not worthy of his post. We need a charismatic leader who actually bleeds the values the democratic party was founded on(not whatever this is) to rise up and defeat this moron.

This is a fantastic thread and I need every single centrist opinion writer and Dem leadership member to read it (I know they won’t, but they need to)

it kills me knowing what’s needed is for people to double down on bucking any demands for “civility” because they understand these demands are training people to surveil & snitch on their neighbors and an exploit to intensify authoritarian control over our thoughts.

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

BREAKING NEWS 📰 www.cnn.com/2025/09/16/u...

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

Anyone proposing that an official be allowed to revoke the passport of a citizen for criticizing *this* country would be rightly regarded as batshit insane and deeply hostile to this country's laws and traditions. Proposing that they can do that if we criticize some *other* country? Fuck. That.

Last year: Austin Peay State University learns prof is Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally. Admin drags heels, pays him $56k severance to leave This week: APSU prof posts screenshot of headline - Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment- & is immediately fired

This is even dumber now that we know he went to college for one semester then dropped out.

from Corey Robin on FB:

... broken clocks and all that

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

Oh, how i dearly hope they try to come for THIS (meaning me) mf immigrant. My direct family line has fought in every war since and including the first, and I hope only, american revolutionary war.

Bolsonaro found guilty of coup despite Trump’s efforts to influence the decision by punishing Brazil with tariffs, something I’m not sure was legal. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

would love to know from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social if he feels that this sort of thing is "doing politics the right way" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profess...

It was a remarkable debate during arguments on DOGE's access to Social Security data, as the judges weighed whether the high court had made them irrelevant and how they're supposed to fulfill their constitutional roles in this context. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Emerald Klein is a fucking chump. Always has been. Way to sell out soyboy.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Every single elected official decrying Kirk’s shooting. Not one of them addressing the school kids shot today in Colorado. That says more than i ever could.

The Charlie Kirk shooting happened essentially as another school shooting happened a state away

"Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty." Charlie Kirk

It's hard to see how Trump won't exploit the shooting of Charlie Kirk to further expand his police state...even while his FBI is busy cutting veteran agents that don't fit into his sycophantic and ideological mode.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

OMG 😆 🤣 😂 He's on a roll!

God, it's just stunning how quickly and gleefully the veil has been ripped away.

I will post this everyday to remind us. She was always right!
