Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

We need you all to get as angry as you did about Jimmy Kimmel. A US District Court in FL has ruled that our libraries are government speech that can be viewpoint censored as elected officials see fit. Library patrons and authors do not have First Amendment rights in our publicly funded libraries.

SCOOP: Federal workers are being told to blame democrats for the shutdown. At SBA workers got an email suggesting they set out-of-office replies blaming Democrats for the shutdown and at HUD internal systems have a pop-up blaming "the Radical Left." @wired.com www.wired.com/story/govern...

Timeline of ICE activity in Chicagoland today. Kidnappings across the city and burbs, a protester/content creator arrested outside Broadview late last night, and landscapers taken from their work vehicle in Downers Grove:

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

Hi #LGBTQWriteAThon! I’m Rick, genderqueer writer of SFF and poetry. I have two goals this month: Actually publish my first poetry collection (which I had hoped to do last month), and get back into the daily writing habit with the novel I’m working on, and make significant progress with it.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

"[Miguel Ángel] García-Hernández worked as a house painter and had been detained during a traffic stop weeks earlier before he was transferred to ICE custody. García-Hernández ... was in the process of getting legal residency after living in the U.S. for two decades."

Say what you want about Smitty but he was spitting facts about June. A CLOSED adoption is a CLOSED adoption. June gave up the kids a long time ago so she has no parental rights. It’s fine for Samantha choosing to see her bio mom but either Smitty or Martin has to be present #BTG

BREAKING: The U.S. government has shut down for the first time since 2019 with no immediate path to reopen it. nbcnews.app.link/fzkZLkKl6Wb

Miguel Ángel García, one of the immigrants shot in attack at ICE office in Dallas, has died. 
García’s wife was allowed twice daily visits for two hours while a DHS officer guarded her husband’s hospital bed. Officers kept soft restraints on his arms and shackled him.

People who don’t think this is fascism “yet” aren’t seeing members of their own ethnic group get brutalized and kidnapped by masked men with guns. Some of us already live in the future. Spoiler alert: It’s fascism.

Is anyone else find it really fucking disturbing that an AI character generated from the theft of thousands of actors and actresses is being called “she/her” and they use a name for it? According to terfs, it doesn’t have ovaries or an ability to give birth.

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

We MUST keep folks fed, medicated & housed. Saving one another is the MOST important goal. Don't let folks be unhoused & unfed when fascists are scooping us off the streets to dispose of for profit! Mutual Aid IS community! The sooner folks figure that out the better off we'll be. 💜🙏

Nearly 40% managers believe their organization did layoffs because not enough workers quit in response to their company's RTO mandate. trib.al/tYuW2ZO

These stories of state-led law enforcement cruelty with no respect for process, inflicted on ordinary citizens with tiny infractions, remind me of my time reporting from authoritarian China.

I get furious when I hear people say they didn't know he would do this stuff. Black people knew. Indigenous people knew. LGBTQ+ people knew. Latinos knew. Environmentalists knew. You didn't know because you didn't want to know and didn't want to listen to the ones who did know.

BREAKING: U.S. government shutdown begins

It’s wrong that the President and Members of Congress get paid during a government shutdown when our military and public servants don’t. I will be refusing my own pay if we end up in a shutdown. Government leaders shouldn’t be playing with other people’s chips.

The water quality in the DMV area has plummeted this year. Almost seems to have become toxic & harmful. Hasn't been this bad since the 80s. It can't be a coincidence. I appreciate your attention to this matter.

Thank God for my soaps and my writing or I'd lose it completely. 2025 has been shit from the moment my mom died.

I keep thinking I shouldn't have to think about all this shit. I'm a writer. I just want to write my stupid little soap operas. I don't want to wake up terrified every morning. I hate America.

You know, he's coming for your precious internet next right? And you'll probably let him.

This is worse than his last four years. Back then the only annoyance was all the fat young Republicans walking around my liberal arts college like they owned the place. He was preparing for this coup then though. And we all let him. Everyone did including the Almighty Democrats.

Powerful performance today by Tyler Joseph Andrews. Appreciate that Theo could fully voice his thoughts and experience. #Days

youtu.be/QNJL6nfu__Q?... They never did

Is this old bastard still alive!?!

i've been sitting at the hospital for hours. they can't assist w/o the min. payment of $390. one of the nurses who took care of me before brought me painkillers (which she isn't allowed to do) i simply don't have these funds. i'm tired of asking for money & I'm sure all of you are tired of it too

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

A friend is getting kicked from the hospital today. He'll be going to his son's house where he will die. He's a good person...raised two sons and a special needs daughter. Solo. He got 80+ years. But I still feel like he deserves more. Hug your people. Because life's a bowl of shit.

Or do both because everyone can't get to a food bank.

The Joker was right. In fact all the comic book villains were right. The heroes were the real evil, always fighting for the government smh.

Electroinic Arts just got bought out by the Saudis and Jared Kushner's firm. Mass Effect 4 is going to have heteronormative romances only and you're going to be working to bring "peace" to the galaxy by crushing dissent. :(

He wants to murder American citizens. Do people not get this?

This is a civil war that started as a coup. Do you dumb fucks get it now? You can't vote your way out of this, Assholes.
