@govpritzker.illinois.gov , @jbpritzker.bsky.social, I thought that when they come for your people they came through you?

I wonder if this will get even a small fraction of the press that the battery fire at Moss Landing received. Fires happen. But fossil fuel-related fires are far more common than fires at lithium ion facilities. And, a fire like Moss Landing will never happen again given design changes.

Better headline: "Extremely Stupid People are Angry at Pope for Being Catholic".

4 October 1913 | Czech Jewish woman, Alžběta Röhrová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 6 October 1944. She did not survive. --- Video about the history of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/Fxnl5HTygrs

I haven't read every comment but I have yet to see anyone point out that undocumented workers have paid billions in taxes for social security, Medicare and other benefits or programs that go only to U.S. citizens. Conversely, not all citizens are taxpayers. itep.org/undocumented...

Chris Rufo's disastrous takeover of New College in Florida shows what universities would become if they sign the Trump regime's extortionary "compact." New College was supposed to model the anti-woke conservative higher-ed Americans crave. Instead, it showed the opposite, and serves as a warning.

Evil scum sucking worms. May they all burn in hell.

The first memory I have of learning about the existence of Christianity as a child was being told by someone that lying is bad because God said so. Not sure how accurate that is as a matter of theology but maybe something Mike could look into.

Once this shitshow is over, SCOTUS is in for some serious changes/reform. Cowards. History will not remember them well!!! 🤬🤬🤬

The Trump admin has now stripped TPS from over a million people. Within the next year, the remaining 300,000 who still have it may lose it (except maybe for Ukrainians). Salvadoran TPS holders have been working legally for 20+ years. Whole families will be thrown into poverty.

For those Venezuelans out there, some of whom have now been working and living legally in the United States for over 4 years, I am sorry. This shouldn't be happening to you. Venezuela is still not safe for you. Yet you have been abandoned by your former allies. You deserve better.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Live your life so you don’t get nationally famous because you make your living hanging out at the hospital, looking for immigrants to arrest.

“Fuck them kids.” — MAGA Jesus

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update. ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting. She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.

If ICE is so legitimate, they shouldn't have any problems with citizen oversight. Since they're anything BUT legitimate, of COURSE they're angry about being tracked, watched... Goon Squad needs permanent dismantling. #abolishice

Remember when it was a national scandal on the right that the White House pushed to take down a few tweets?

O sweet! A digital golden calf.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

That’s what you get when you close the government and screw with the Park Service. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Arkansas police pulled over an Indian GrubHub driver wh ois married to a U.S. citizen. They found a bottle of Opium-brand perfume, arrested him for narcotics possession, and turned him over to ICE, where he was held for 30 days. He has now been stripped of his immigration status.

This guy has destroyed lives and institutions, and when given the chance to shape an actual higher ed institution it has been a dismal failure. But he still gets the profiles, still presented as "winning." bsky.app/profile/jenn...

For everyone stuck writing about today’s cancellations, here’s the metadata from the “rule” that Vought claims both New York and Chicago are somehow in violation of. The PDF to post it wasn’t even created until 5:47pm, was last modified at 5:55pm. And the government shut down six hours later at 12am

I’m gonna say something controversial: I actually don’t think chickpea anxiety is real

Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you That is not, in fact, what ICE does He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

worth remembering that hoover's administration was defined by 4 years of economic chaos, suffering, dislocation, and fear. People genuinely believed the country itself was on the verge of irreversible collapse. He still got 40% of the vote.

The judge must have been paying attention to Ted Cruz when he said "stop attacking pedalfilers"

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

This SCOTUS is not "reactionary"; that would mean they want to roll back to an earlier set of norms. But the US has had checks & balances since 1789; there has NEVER been a time when the executive branch has had these kind of powers. It is UNPRECEDENTED, therefore they are RADICAL, not reactionary.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

Please stop calling it the Trump "administration". That term refers to a normal US executive branch and its bureaus. The proper term for this is a "regime"; it has control of all three branches and a number of nominally non-governmental organizations.

The proper term for people who consider themselves Christian, but dislike the Pope, is "Protestant".

The American people can't stand to see their insurance premiums doubled. They can't stand to watch 15 million of their neighbors lose health care. And they can't stand any more hospital closures. That's why Democrats are fighting to reverse Republicans' health care cuts.

Just three months ago they were brazenly denying that there were any #Medicaid cuts at all in the budget reconciliation law, despite the $990B in cuts being the largest cuts to the program in history which will make 7.5M people uninsured.

Wait, so the vow to surveil and intimidate Spanish-speaking Americans from the US territory of Puerto Rico at the Super Bowl came from a DHS adviser with a documented history of abuse who is reported to be in a relationship with the department secretary and staying on beyond his statutory authority?

2 October 1942 | A transport of 210 Jews deported from #Drancy in occupied France arrived at #Auschwitz. After the arrival selection, 34 men & 22 women were registered in the camp (none survived). The remaining 154 people were murdered in a gas chamber. Salomea Strul was among them.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

EMERGENCY MEDICAID REIMBURSES HOSPITALS FOR CARE TO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE BY LAW HOSPITALS CANNOT TURN AWAY ANYONE IN AN EMERGENCY. RONALD REGAN SIGNED THIS INTO LAW.

I’m tired of saving Trump voters from the consequences of their own decisions. If farmers want a bailout, they should call their republican congressmembers and ask them to use their article 1 powers to get rid of the tariffs.

Fascinated by how the people who lost their minds over student loan forgiveness are currently running ads on my TV every 10 min promising that they'll forgive your student loans if you join ICE

“Kavanaugh stops” is a tremendous term term for cops racially profiling people and someone should start a crowdfunding effort to pay a bunch of SEC sorority influencers to popularize it on TikTok. We must fight fire with devastating trending topics slate.com/news-and-pol...
