What part of "get the hell out of our city" is so hard to understand?!

JB Pritzker creating the “Illinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.

Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like—because it’s already happening in North Carolina, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

"What did everyone think 'mass deportations' meant?" This is where we're at ... 😰 God save us

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Great idea. Dems, we can do this at the local/county level. Let's go! 💙

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

This is not a "press corp," this is a propaganda machine sanctioned by an authoritarian regime

I know some might be tired of me repeating this, but it bears mentioning again and again.... Trump is not leaving office. They are going to go for martial law if it looks likely that the GOP will lose the House. You just have to listen to them.

This thread lists donors who are buying access to Trump by helping him demolish the East Wing of the White House to build his monstrous monument to himself. #BoycottsArePatriotic

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Decidedly un-Fun Fact: 1,481 UVA graduates served as officers in the Confederate Army. Including Confederate Secretary of State RM Hunter and Dr. Charles Pepper of Dr. Pepper soda fame. In total about 1/3 of all antebellum UVA graduates served in the Confederate Army.

What, huh, UVA? Somehow it's hard to believe that killing DEI comports with "upholding academic freedom"

The New York Times writes 21 paragraphs about the Warner Brothers sale without a single mention of the fact that this company has a 25 year history of disastrous mergers (AOL, AT&T, Time Warner, Discovery) resulting in endless layoffs and price hikes and shittier product

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

IU journalism students for the win 💙

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

"Dialogue" with a tyrant...? Gross 🤢

A single word "no" would be better than this hogwash.

More than a metaphor 😭

Negotiating with a tyrant is a fool's errand But one of these in$titutions will inevitably take the bait Who will bite first?

Way to Go! 💙 California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and Guam

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

This is where we're at ... the arresting journalists phase of an authoritarian rise.

This is terrifying! ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents) This is Trump’s America.

Always follow the $$$

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.
