Legit question, i keep seeing ads to join ice here in Chicago and one of the benefits is to waive all student loans. Why is it okay to waive student loans for ice but not okay to wave student loans for public service workers like teachers and Healthcare workers? Why is one socialism and one is not?

They have the save expression!

.@morganevelyncook on TikTok is trying to figure out why Trump is sending troops to Portland, Oregon, and her video is the greatest thing ever 🤣

The Rubicon for me is when the government turns federal troops against its own citizens. Where are all the don't tread on me people? Taxation without representation. Between the gerrymandering and the federal troops marching into cities what's the difference between that and having red coats?

Trump summoned the top American military officers stationed around the world to VA to tell them that the enemy they should be primarily concerned with now is American citizens.

All these photo ops of ICE marching in front of Trump tower. Makes the king happy.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Watching Oregon and Penn State and I'm hearing these words from the announcers: slit, penetrate, slipped, got it, great hands, comes out quick, great spin move, it's always the second guy that pops, slips through, deep penetration. back deep.

So Trump is just going to put farmers out of business and give them corporate welfare? While sending $20 billion to Argentina? This is the Golden Age?

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Trump's UN speech was his most embarrassing showing since the "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL" one

"Where Nixon had to contend with a Supreme Court that rejected his claim of absolute immunity and a Congress that stood ready to impeach him, the other branches of govt these days have no interest in reining in Trump. He can do a Watergate every week safe in the knowledge that no one will stop him."

Republicans are talking about "social media" as the cause of political violence because it's a convenient distraction from the fact they refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump does more than anyone in our country to heighten tensions and incite the crazies

It seems "A leftist killed Charlie Kirk" is the new "the 2020 election was stolen" and "Jan 6 was a peaceful protest." Doesn't matter what the facts are. They're going full steam ahead with their fairy tale.

Yep. Normal politics died on November 5, 2024 (if not sooner). I'm deeply skeptical of the idea that voters who pulled the lever for Trump when he was clearly an insanely self-destructive choice will make better decisions next time around. Hope I'm wrong though!

Go Blue!

I found a porn name generator and apparently mine would be Spunky Orchards

I just wanted a normal Saturday with football. But when a mad king declares war against my city, I'm fucking pissed. Heading to Cabela's just in case shit gets crazy.

This is treason. The Constitution says that,"[t]reason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them ..." This post is clear about Trump's intent to "levy war" against Chicago and the treasonous nature of an invasion is not lessened by the use of the U.S. military force.

Cleta Mitchell -- the Trump whisperer on all things elections -- thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Speaker Johnson claimed yesterday that Trump was working with the FBI to take down Epstein. Riiiiight. How many children did he abuse as part of that "op", Mike?

www.cbc.ca/news/world/j... "No time else in the history of the United States have people gone to federal prison," for what he described as "misdemeanor trespassing," - He must not realize that crossing the boarder illegally is also considered misdemeanor trespassing.

I'm at the age apparently when long, single hairs start growing randomly on the side of my ear.

In another instalment of: “Didn’t Age Well” This video was deleted from Twitter. So you know what to do. 😏

A mother cries out for her son who is in school while ICE arrests her outside of an immigration court after attending her hearing in San Antonio, Texas. Her only concern is for her child. This is happening all over America. This is not what safety or justice looks like.

Anyone else notice how Mitch McConnell had completely disappeared and gone silent. He helped end democracy.

When’s the last time you heard a Vice President talk about an investigation this way? You haven’t. Because the DOJ/FBI are supposed to be independent, and a VP using “we” to describe a particular investigation is not supposed to happen.

Not happy with my fantasy draft.

Daytime is overrated. The real fun happens when the night owls come out.

Saturday. Gorgeous Chicago evening!

ICYMI — JD gave the game away on Bolton 👇🏽

Anyone ever notice with Chase Bank that when you make a credit card payment it comes out of your checking instantly, but won't post until the following business day to your credit card account, potentially exposing to another day of interest that you pay? Not cool.

He's mad I'm taking a bath and not playing with him!

I’m proud to be American. As a father, mediator, and professor, I teach love over hate. I honor sacrifice and my family's military service. I am an outdoorsman and hunter and I treasure our public land. Patriotism to me is service, progress, and leaving this country better for the next generation.

Kids who learned about sex from AIM chat rooms are Bluesky users.

Where are the “Don’t Tread on Me” folks against federal troops on our streets? Where are the “no taxation” voices when gerrymandering silences half the people? And where are the Christians? If Jesus crossed the Rio Grande without papers, would he be sent to Alligator Auschwitz? #SelectiveFreedom

Do you want to play a game?

Walking the dog and got sprayed from behind… not the kind of backyard action I was expecting. Special shout out to the neighbors timing for turning on their sprinklers tonight!

The hypocrisy of these people. She is just a pawn as her legal fees are being funded by Liberty Counsel.

Coffee helps me survive Monday… but some things help me enjoy it! #TreatYourselfMonday

Can't sleep.

Are we ok with the end of democracy and representative government? Gerrymandering Maps, sending the vice president strong-arm governors, using the FBI to hunt down state representatives, concentration camps on our soil, conveniently erasing parts of the Constitution? How are we okay with this?

If trump did nothing “concerning” while spending time with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein - as Ghislaine Maxwell says - then there shouldn’t be a problem releasing the Epstein files in their entirety (with survivors’ names and PII redacted.)

I've always known Illinois has been crazy with gerrymandering, but I found this study really interesting.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw.

This is what is happening right now.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."
