the last few years have shown me that i cannot spell vaccine or fascist and i was much happier in my past lie not realizing that

The shingles vax is shown to reduce the onset on dimentia www.nature.com/articles/s41...

thirty-four people have been arrested outside the broadview ice detention center since illinois state police + the cook county sheriff's office set up "unified command" on oct. 3. charges range from misdemeanors, like resisting/obstruction, to felonies, like criminal damage to government property.

1. Scientists flossed mice. And delivered a vaccine through the floss! 2. This could mean people could self administer vaccines, something vital in a pandemic. 3. Ok but wait you want me to FLOSS!? Like let's not get wild here... www.sciencenews.org/article/flos...

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago. CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason. We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

Did you get it right? 🗣️"Schizachyrium" i sure as hell didn't #nativeplants www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS7X...

Walking around Chicago on a pleasant day and ran into a celebrity

Some context that I think gets lost by calling people here "protesters." Strictly true that they were protesting. But this was neighborhood. Almost all of it was people who came out of their houses and pleaded to stop using gas because there were kids in houses/yards in the blocks off Kedzie.

Hundreds of people were at a community defense workshop at a North Side high school this morning, with the line to get in out the door. Chicagoans from all walks of life are coming together to resist ICE.

Ordered sneezeweed seeds & the company accidentally sent me the wrong species. They quickly fixed it, but now I have 6 packets of Helenium flexuosum that I can't use because it's not native to my chunk of KS. Does anyone know of a restoration that would want them? Seeds from MO. #nativeplants

After distancing himself from Project 2025 last year, Trump is now citing it - and co-author Russ Vought - to threaten Democrats. Is this a bluff or another step in a budget-slashing plan? www.bbc.com/news/article...

An FBI agent is “relieved of duty” (fired?) for refusing to facilitate an unnecessary humiliation of a defendant. Reminder that as a defendant, Trump was afforded *every* possible courtesy (like allowing him to turn himself in). www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

-the absolute fascist insanity of 300 armed agents, some descending from HELICOPTERS, at 1am -the fact that they rounded up everyone in the building, busted down doors, detained everyone, held them for hours -that there was no warrant for this

That’s why I need to ask everyone in Illinois for a favor. Contact your elected officials TODAY and tell them to stand with the people — not ICE — for a press conference demanding transparency + legality this Friday at 1930 Beach Street, 9AM. Here’s a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

i can't watch the #mlb playoffs on #mlbtv without a cable subscription??

Your yard doesn’t have to be a sterile hellscape of turf grass.

So to be clear, the judge is not striking the complaint down because Trump has not made a claim. He is striking it down because it is incredibly long and argumentative.

just canceled my #Disney account they give you an "other" option to say why, if you want to have a little fun and send a message

Brendan Carr in 2019 👇🏽🤔

Remember that authoritarians have ZERO sense of humor. About anything.

Earlier today, FCC Chair Brendan Carr said “we can do this the easy way or the hard way” about Disney/ABC “taking action on Kimmel.” Hours later, ABC pulled Kimmel off the air. It’s a blatant crackdown on free speech by an authoritarian administration. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Why did the DOJ scrub the study that showed right-wing terrorism is the number one domestic terror threat in America? Also, who leads ANTIFA? Where do they assemble? How about their funding? Trump is using Kirk's murder as his Reichstag Fire. They will implement martial law and punt the elections.

Just another Biden Crime Family incident www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

If you were under the impression that Trump & Witkoff’s abuse of presidential power with CZ Zhao was the only situation where the Trump family was violating the Constituions emoluments clause with a crypto criminal, we need to now move onto Justin Sun. Buckle up:

Evening primrose paradoxically in the early morning #nativeplants

It is going to soon become necessary for everyone to post a fairly consistent set of critiques of Charlie Kirk, because they’re trying to come after everyone who does, and the only answer is to make them come after us all. We need to pick standardized language, and then get loud with it.

“We need moms. But not in the military”

it’s never been more obvious that the future of energy is solar

Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from NY if NYC elects Mamdani. An impeachable offense for any other president in any other era. In this one it’s just another Monday.

“The president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal…” TRUMP: “What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs.”🤔 (Fact-check — There are only 340,000,000 people in our entire country)

Some asters and milkweed seed pods for your September Sunday #nativeplants

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Asters finally showing up #nativeplants

🍂 We all know what that chill in the air means… It’s time to collect native seeds! We’re keeping a close eye on our native seed beds at Windy City Harvest’s Rodeo Farm, waiting for the perfect time to harvest. Learn more about our native seed efforts: https://tinyurl.com/cbg-natse 🧪

You know what would be good FBI experience for identifying violent criminals in a large crowd? The agents who investigated January 6. Who have been/are being fired.

So like, Trump and Epstein were bffs. Clearly E would have said something to Trump about the letter after, a thanks or a joke or something If it were really a “forgery,” he would have communicated it like, two decades ago? Any evidence of that?
