Hey friends- It’s really hard being alive right now for those of us who care about things like humanity, decency, the environment, democracy, etc, If you are here still fighting for what is right I love u. None of this is easy. Please take care of yourselves. Logging off sometimes is A-OK.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

I see no reason to expect anything different but I'm not optimistic we have fair elections again.

Blaming the victim seems like such an understatement but...we had to shoot you because ...

if you’re a visual learner i made you some maps of where the people quoted in this article as supporting portland being occupied by troops live

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record 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 this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

A bit of a BlueSky Hail Mary - but if you live in NYC and looking to adopt or can donate, please help. I've spent over 3k to keep this backyard family alive and healthy. Everything you would need to know: www.amandaschultz.com/adopt Anyone that could repost I'd be grateful.

These two need to go away. Intra-party insurrection should be on the table @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov @delauro.house.gov

JD Vance, your tweet is nothing but a disgusting lie. Undocumented immigrants do not get federal healthcare you’re deliberately deceiving people. This kind of gutter-level fearmongering proves you have no solutions, only hate. Stop insulting the public’s intelligence with your shameless dishonesty.

Here's an old commercial from the Government of Canada regarding bullies. America take note as that kid yelling should remind you of someone. youtu.be/DKGdRHezwlw?...

Oh dear

ah yes, the paragon of wokeness

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

You know what didn’t happen? Pundits going on Gab, Parler, Gettr, or Truth Social to repeatedly say “no one cares about this site, you’re in a bubble, you forfeited your influence, things are awesome on the site you don’t use anymore, so awesome that I come here to tell you you’re dumb unlike me.”

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

America is now a fascist state and all Free Speech that MAGA does not like will be silenced. Trump used the regulatory agencies of the federal government to cancel Colbert and Kimmel and now he is calling for the cancellation of Fallon and Meyers.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

"If Marvin Gaye sang 'What’s Going On?' today, it would not be a protest anthem, but an honest question. No one knows what's going on and oligarchs are eliminating the means of finding out." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/trapped-echo

To my trans brothers and sisters, to those that don't fit in the box they want to make for you, I see you. I see what they're trying to do. I care. You are my fellow human. I want them to have to step over me first if they are coming for you. We are many. You will not be sacrificed on our watch. 🏳️‍⚧️

They do not give a single solitary fuck whether Tyler Robinson was actually involved with a trans woman. What they care about is spreading the story as far and wide as possible so that if reality forces them to retract it will be too late: the story will be everywhere

Ladies and Gentlemen, the next head of Housing and Urban Development .

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This...is not good and far worse than I thought. All we seem equipped to do these days is move money around.

This is what a free press looks like

Your periodic reminder that this gaudy mansion is easier to build than an apartment complex the same size almost everywhere in Connecticut It’s not about scale, it’s about exclusion

If you hear about a Mexican Independence Day celebration in your area, go. There is strength in numbers and — especially if you’re white — you can protect your community just by being there and not flinching if ICE shows up. These goons are cowards. Don’t be one.

Marvin Gaye Whats going on Still a song that resonates in today's world.

As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

When this shit ends, I'm going to need to see consequences.

Hmmmm. This could work.

PREACH

"Massachusetts has collected about $1.8 billion from a voter-approved surtax on the state's highest earners through the first nine months of the fiscal year." It's going to be used for education and transportation. See? Equitable taxation benefits everyone. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...
