Was he protecting the pedophiles all those times he was on vacation when Texas needed leadership?

Governor Pritzker calls for the 25th Amendment to be invoked

One request from the rally was to call DA Alvin Bragg (212.335.9000) and ask him to drop the charges against photojournalist Alexa Wilkins. Background here: hyperallergic.com/1045489/acti...

Obviously the biggest reason this works is because Trump is indeed acting like a Mad King! But if I am right about Pritzker's approach, what he's trying to do is get people who previously dismissed the idea that Trump is a threat to the Republic to *reconsider w/out admitting they were wrong.*

An absolute abomination.

There are a bunch of people in this administration whose entire job is to sit around brainstorming ways to fuck with their fellow Americans.

I just think if you're the kind of person who does this -- using a theft machine to capitalize on an actual person who did actual writing -- you're a piece of shit who should be shunned out of the community

"I had to work 10 times harder than the average man just to get the same level of recognition," Jane Goodall told us in 2020. "But once I had made a name for myself, I let the data speak for me."

1. Vehemently anti-LGBTQ+ Oklahoma education superintendent is finally out as of yesterday. He appointed Libs of TikTok to the library board, and constantly worked against LGBTQ+ students. Now, local businesses are literally throwing parties that he is gone. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I’m afraid it makes perfect sense: this paper backed every previous round of murder and destruction by shaking its head, tutting and saying sadly, the Palestinians obstinately refuse to deradicalise. They will do the same next year too, and the year after that, until there are no Palestinians left.

What a historic day for Chicago and Illinois. We're breaking ground on the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronic Park — and it begins with the construction of PsiQuantum's facility, where they’ll build a first-of-its-kind quantum computer.

NEW YORK… ICE puts a photographer in the hospital… Completely out of control

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.”"

“generals gathered in their masses to listen to gigantic asses“ headline is sitting right there, which outlet is going to step up

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

Rumor is @governor.ca.gov is getting *tons* of pressure from rich donors to veto SB 79. If he caves, we'd be condemned to a permanent housing crisis — and lose 3-5 electoral votes in 2032. Call and tell him you have his back. Our democracy is more important than rich people's views! 👇 #SB79

Lol what a bunch of assholes

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

To expand: this is about bad faith arguments. Bad faith means they say what they think is useful to get what they want. They don't care if it's true. Your goal isn't to convince them, it's to help other people understand *what they're really trying to do*

Bad Bunny making an exception to his “don’t perform in the US” rule to cuss out the president bilingually

If your Ezra is Klein, you're on the decline. If your Ezra is Levin, you're cooking 24/7.

WHY HAVE WE GOTTEN NUMB TO IT JAKE TAPPER AND WHO IS “WE”??????? Is it because you and your colleagues downplayed and normalized this shit for OVER A DECADE???? This is going to be my villain origin story. (x: www.instagram.com/reel/DPKyCxi...)

If your Klein be Naomi, then listen, homie; But if your Klein be Ezra, disregard what he sezra

I will take any excuse to pull up my favorite Phil Vischer tweet:

This is the most complete information I've seen about the Anthropic copyright settlement — dates of when things are likely to happen, what to do now, and what it all means for different types of writers. nwu.org/anthropic/

Jimmy Kimmel may be back, but Trump and his oligarchs are still seizing control of legacy and new media.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it *incredibly* disturbing that the president of the US is very clearly losing his goddamned mind, but most of the media steadfastly refuse to even mention it.

UN: “Kids dying of starvation… what we give them is a peanut butter paste. We’ve been told we can’t bring that in because it’s a luxury.” AMANPOUR: “Seriously?”

Exactly Profoundly Correct on Klein - TNC. Pls read thread by Imani Gandy @angryblacklady.bsky.social

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

In moments like this, let’s remember which Chicago newsroom stood up for the freedom of press

It feels pretty clear that their argument is “there is no point in having Congress”

If you read the article this was straight up a torture program that also featured a bunch of sexual assault, abuses on a level that one will day be in textbooks with the question how did it go on so long Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Fukuyamaists…trust the plan.

The White House knows exactly what it was doing when they published a list of Democrats who have used their voice to call out Trump & Miller’s ICE abuses. The list is now being used by the far right as an enemies list. It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. And it puts lives at risk.

Wow! A powerful throughline in gay history. Worth a read!

Unexpected+impressed. Well done, Katniss *whistles mockingjay theme*

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.
