I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

what is even the point of this

Seriously, read the whole thing: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know. The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project. Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Despite judge’s order, ICE sent an immigrant to Mexico instead of back to Minnesota - The Minnesota Star Tribune

Ohio activists are cleared to start collecting signatures to repeal a state law that added more criminal penalties to marijuana usage and totally banned “intoxicating” hemp products.

Virginia did NOT start this, but we are going to finish it. We must to TURN OUT AND VOTE YES for our Redistricting Amendment on Tuesday, April 21. #virginia #vote #redistricting

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

ICE is trying to blend in!! Be careful out there

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Thanks World!

The Trump administration, under the direction of Kristi Noem, sent armed ICE agents to Princeton Middle & High schools. No advanced notice was given to local law enforcement or school admin. Schools began shelter in place as parents texted photos of passports to students. Terror for terror's sake.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

VP JD Vance said the administration stands by the immigration officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. He berated journalists for covering the story, including reporting that on-the-scene videos contradicted claims from the Trump administration. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/08/r...

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

My old pal @eniiler.bsky.social with a killer story. What we save defines us as a culture—the archive is our memory and our future. And we’re throwing it away? Madness. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously. Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen?? youtu.be/4xgayuaun2U?...

NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record. Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late). Find a provider here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. You can filter for sites where there's no cost for the uninsured.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

These are the places where American students learn about the world. These cuts are one sign — I know there are others — of a country that is shrinking away. www.dailytarheel.com/article/a4ee...

"What we're witnessing is not reform. It's the hollowing out of an institution Americans rely on in every emergency. The actions will leave the country less prepared for the next foodborne illness cluster, maternal mortality crisis, or emerging pandemic." time.com/7338714/dr-d...

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

So not only were we busy telling the world what we were doing on insecure Signal chats, we were shooting down our own people at the same time. It has costs to put incompetent people in charge of national security, and I fear we are just beginning to pay them. www.businessinsider.com/navy-warship...

🎯 @robsandia.bsky.social on Private School Vouchers (for the wealthy) — “CALL THEIR BLUFF… if they want public dollars, they should have to follow the same rules as public schools… it’s not a ‘COMPETITION’ when not everyone is playing by the same rules.” (cc: Speaker Sexton)

Make Uber aware and if they don’t do anything, add them to the boycott list

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Minnesotans are standing up for their neighbors and fighting back. ❤️💪🇺🇸

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. Apparently as an enemy of fascism, he's undesirable. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

JD Vance's steady assertion of hostile claims against Greenland, which rarely ever rate a mention in US newspapers, are front page news across northern Europe.

Today, thousands of people came out to events all across NYC—picking up and handing out materials to defend their neighborhoods from ICE. There were whistles kits & know your rights cards. People went to hundreds of businesses hanging signs of solidarity. Incredible feat by @handsoffnyc.bsky.social.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
