More from the scene

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

I respect that there are no perfect candidates and purity tests lead to political stasis but also I’d really love it if more politicians could overcome the very minor barrier of “never did Nazi shit”

Shout-out to all the real ones who still have MS Paint on their Windows taskbar where it belongs 💻🎨

People will talk about fighting bears or some other apex predator but I have not seen a human being hold their own against a goose

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

I LEARN THESE FIVE SENTENCES TODAY AT AN @ACLU.ORG WEBINAR FOR PROTESTERS: "Am I free to go?" "I wish to remain silent." "I do not consent to this search." "Am I under arrest?" "I want to speak to a lawyer."

Was just like maybe I'll listen to some music to calm down then realized I was listening to music to calm down already

Don’t worry ICE, Chicago may not want you but there’s plenty of space for you in hell.

If I were starting a civil war, I would send National Guard troops from one state to another.

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

If Trump had become president 20 years earlier, Epstein would have been in his cabinet.

is there a word for things like chapstick and glasses cleaning cloth that jump unpredictably between "how is it possible I have none of these I can find" and "why are there four of these on my desk and two in my pockets/bags right now"

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Can't believe it's possible, but I'm actually going to be rooting for a drug company in a lawsuit.

Imagine if nothing happened after the Saturday Night Massacre and Nixon wasn’t impeached. This has been the past fucking several months in this country.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

One of my favorite posts ever was along the lines of "Visiting my parents. My dad's worried antifa is going to come to their small town and start a riot. He doesn't know antifa's in his kitchen right now at one in the morning, sneaking the last chocolate chip cookies."

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.

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.

I'm about delivering for the people of my state — Donald Trump is about delivering for himself.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

Had to mute everything related to Newsom on TikTok because liberals have learned absolutely nothing and aren’t willing to look in the mirror and say maybe their faves suck ass. “Well who’s your candidate???” Pritzker, if I had to pick right now, dipshit.

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

Made some cookies for work for World Breastfeeding Week.

When Mister Rogers passed away, I cut his picture out of the newspaper article reporting it, folded it up, and put it in my wallet. And there it's stayed for the past 22 years.

Just had a "CONFIDENTIAL" email that my job application was unsuccessful. Who tf you think I'm going to tell?

We didn’t know how good we had it with Stephen Colbert @colbertlateshow.bsky.social Oh no, wait, we totally did.

I mean, sure, "Elephants never forget" is cute and all, but "corvids carry generational grudges" is both factually correct and _sick as hell_

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

The Supreme Court's decision sets a dangerous precedent. When I signed into law LGBTQ+ history in our curriculum, I hoped schools would become more welcoming to all. We'll keep telling the whole story of our shared history in Illinois, whether through storybooks or textbooks.

Two weeks ago millions of people in this country marched saying "NO KINGS." The Supreme Court this week responded, "SORRY FOLKS, YES, WE HAVE A KING."

A 33-year-old Democratic Socialist will become the next mayor of NYC and the worst, most corrupt people in the USA are losing their minds. God loves to see it.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

If furries and juggalos exist there’s no reason you can’t be yourself.

I have to assume CNN just literally doesn't know what the word "score" means.

For the folks talking about the "3.5% rule", remember that after you come out for a rally you also need to take part in organized, effective resistance. Materially disrupt things. Make trouble. Create support networks to feed your neighbors and bail out protesters. Don't show up just one day.

Shout out to the top 5 ings in the world, onion r, happy end, Peter Jenn, Cool Runn and NO K.

His diplomacy was supposed to bring us world wide peace on Day 1.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

Hey has anyone figured out what’s going on? Like in general
