Kristi Noem has learned her lesson. by Susan Collins

Somehow this didn’t post this morning. Happy 189th birthday to Chicago.

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

An all-time classic editorial layout. Clear content hierarchy, typographically refined, usable and intuitive.

Happening now in Chicago's federal plaza: A rally is underway in solidarity with trans people in Kansas whose drivers' licenses were suddenly invalidated last week, due to the enactment of a new state law that requires a person's gender on their license to match their assigned sex at birth.

finished embroidering my jacket :)

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Your kid gets killed fighting for this asshole and he responds with, "that's just the way it is"

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today. Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Remember: Donald Trump created this crisis. He walked away from the Iran nuclear deal that was working, promising a "better deal." He didn't deliver. He escalated, abandoned real diplomacy, and has now led us into a conflict that puts us all at risk.

Donald, you're not denying it.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

Do not watch tonight’s State of the Union. Low ratings wound him. Let’s make this the least-watched SotU address ever.

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

It's not a new observation, but I'm always struck listening to Trump cry and whine about how he's the victim, bitch and moan about how mean and unfair everyone is to him, brag endlessly about how great he is and how unfair it all is, to remember that his cult thinks he's the Peak Alpha Male

The Supreme Court:

This is blackout poetry to me

From the brisk morning run along the lakefront #Chicago

Transformers: The Movie (1986) Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) Cabin Boy (1994) Tommy Boy (1995) I seem to recall the last 3 movies listed above had less than 6 other people in the theater combined.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

8 meetings today. Someone mouths: "can you hear me?" No. You're muted, man. #workhaiku

The AI slop faux design thought leadership on LinkedIn is at epic shit levels. “I’ve talked to a lot of designers lately…” - no you didn’t “People always ask me…” - no they don’t “There’s a pattern I’ve been noticing…” - no you haven’t

President Obama made me proud to be American. The gilded-cave-dwelling, knuckle-dragging gutter racist in the Oval Office today makes me ashamed. Choosing not to reshare the latest Klan-style video the mad old bastard thought fit to share from his hateful podium. May his soul never know peace.

If you were a journalist or creative that was laid off by the Washington Post and you want to work for an independent, pro democracy news outlet, Democracy Docket is hiring. bit.ly/45Qaw4K

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Trump is a pedophile. Deleting the file changes nothing.

My latest piece for @alistapart.com

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.

Share a photo of mountains you’ve taken (This is a video, and it’s from the ascent to Prospect Mountain last year)

My latest on #design: In the AI era, the old subjective shorthand— "good design," "good UX," "bad layout,"— has become less useful, and sometimes actively misleading. The reason is simple: #AI can generate artifacts that look “good” at the surface level in seconds. medium.com/@pseudoroom/...

I despise this motherfucker more than words could ever articulate

💯

Trump’s plan has been clear: terrorize Americans, attack them, shoot them in the face, and create as much chaos as possible — whatever it takes. Then use the chaos he manufactured to invoke the Insurrection Act.

It’s really unbelievable that Donald Trump says something like, “civil rights were bad for white people,” a few times a day, and the media barely covers it. Everyone just moves on so quickly.

He kidnapped the president of Venezuela for them And oil companies are like Meh

Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?

Pilsen, Chicago

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.
