What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Mike Johnson must be so proud.

A4: If we could, we would have two pugs, ideally! Unrealistically, we'd have a village of pugs! 😂 #pugtalk

Michigan Avenue right now.

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

National Guard from TEXAS, untrained in domestic law enforcement, are now patrolling Illinois (and apparently cracking heads), based on the wholly fictitious premise of a rebellion in Chicago. Looking forward to discussing on #deadlinewhitehouse with @nicolewallace.bsky.social at 5 PM ET.

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

She's Canadian, you wouldn't know her.

BEHIND THE BASTARDS written and hosted by @iwriteok.bsky.social devoted several episodes to Curtis Yarvin. Highly recommended.

Chicago to Dump. Don't mess with The City of Big Shoulders, our governor, or our mayor.

Did Tony Blair receive a knighthood? If so, King Charles needs to revoke it if this comes to pass.

I will absolutely riot if Dolly Parton dies. www.wwnytv.com/2025/10/07/d...

This Reuters headline. Oof. Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Puppy killer Kristi Noem is complaining that no Chicago restaurants are willing to serve her ICE goons. 👏 Chicago, we love you for this!!!

The frog rode by on a scooter while I was at dinner

Be more like Dolly. Dolly Parton, who helped fund the Moderna vaccine, gets a ‘dose of her own medicine.’ www.nytimes.com/2021/03/02/w...

Pritzker don't play. Dump is weak and terrified of Pritzker. Pritzker is an upstander and stands up to bullies.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Rand Paul: "I think blowing up speedboats in the Caribbean isn't necessarily the answer."

Canada vs. America

The riots in Portland have really escalated. I saw protesters dressed as unicorns and teddy bears.

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

Y’all ever hear a porcupine? I think he’s mad, but he’s really hard to take seriously

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland

The public has a right to know how ICE is planning to expand its network of detention centers — especially when these centers hold thousands of our neighbors and loved ones in inhumane and unconstitutional conditions.

DC Statehood is a voting rights issue. DC Statehood is a racial justice issue. DC Statehood is a gun safety issue. DC Statehood is a reproductive justice issue.

Originally published in our sister pub, @portlandmercury.com reports that the city’s legal team says federal police are brutalizing protesters, and the government is weaponizing its longstanding settlement agreement with the city.

California joins the nation in recognizing Disability Employment Awareness Month — a celebration of the 7M+ adults with disabilities who call California home and enrich our state. Together, we can keep growing an inclusive workforce for the fourth-largest economy in the world.

Good morning resisters 🌅💙 Well the alarm has been sounding, the red states are really gonna feel the increases in their insurance premiums 😂😂 ACA Marketplace Premium Payments Would More than Double on Average Next Year if Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Expire | KFF share.google/ajZU62dUk1Rs...

ICE like The KKK is a domestic terrorist organization. And like The Klan, they wear masks to hide their faces. Most likely, the J6 prisoners, Proud Boys, 3 percenters, and even Klan members fill their ranks.

"As one of the few Jews on [the flotilla]...they asked me if I was Jewish...threw me in front of the Israeli flag... we were strip-searched & zip-tied & blindfolded, & sent to this detention camp." Horrifying testimony to Zeteo from freed activist David Adler: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Folks, it's happening. We're releasing Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile this Thursday at 7 p.m. Mark your calendars. Get excited to know even less about Jeffrey Epstein.

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.”

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but health care is a Latino issue. Latinos are less likely to have health insurance than almost any other demographic.

Two years after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, let us pray for the return of all the remaining hostages, for all of the Israeli and Palestinian lives lost, and for a lasting end to the war.

A small press going out of business without paying its authors...inexcusible. I wish I could say it rarely happens, but I would be lying.

I speculate the frogs may be boiling

So since I'm annoyed let me say a few things today.Some folks have been writing about Christian Nationalism and apocalyptic right wing movements for YEARS here in the US. YEARS. Do we get to have a platform in major mags and newspapers... rarely.

Hands off Chicago.

I’m. So. Tired. I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.
