🚨 Breaking: WGN Video Producer arrested for doing what she does — in Lincoln Square. 1/2

#ProudBlue #Pinks #RU Good morning, friends! Life's magic occurs in unscripted moments and in unexpected gestures of kindness. Beauty reveals itself unannounced, but only to those with an open heart, ready to receive it. Don’t wait for perfection. The extraordinary is happening right now.

Inventive People of Portland Dressing as Animals: Please don't dress as dogs. Your life will not be safe with psychopath Kristi Noem on the rooftops.

I love this image.

In a democracy, presidents don’t wield the military against citizens or weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents. Since Congress won’t act, voters must.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Guy who is zip-tying American children and shooting pastors on the head with pepper balls wants Peace Prize.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Convicted on 34 Counts of Fraud means He's a LIAR in Business and in LIFE Every time his Lips Move, He's LYING!

🚨 She fights back. ✊🏼

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

We’re a small town. Many Portlanders recognize friends & loved ones in these vids of nonviolent protest, & many of us have been down there, singing, walking silently in prayer, & building an altar of flowers to the taken. Hell, that’s my MOC on the far end of the uke brigade. Believe us, not Trump.

The hilarity continues, let's laugh the bastards out of power.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

Winsome Earle-Sears — that is, in fact, discrimination.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Tonight is the only debate of this election, and all eyes are on Virginia. I’m ready to lower costs, stand up to Donald Trump, and put Virginia first — but I can’t do it without your support. Donate here:

Israel and Hamas agree to Gaza ceasefire www.npr.org/2025/10/08/g... I’ll believe it when it happens and if it lasts. It looks like it’s only to give the orange the prize he wants. If he gets it, I expect fighting to resume immediately afterwards.

Planned Parenthood of VA: Winsome Earle-Sears "Saying ‘when you are willing to kill a child up until the day that baby is born…murder is murder…one day, it’s gonna be your turn,’ is not political theater" bluevirginia.us/2025/10/audi...

Exactly. They're talking about extending the age to receive benefits again. If they had their way, we'd all just die before receiving any of it. I retired at 62 because they had already extended it from 65 to 67 and I didn't trust them to not do it again.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down. n.pr/3KIfcSn

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable! Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
