Look I'm no political strategist but it seems to me that when the President's chief financial advisor is going around gleefully talking about how great it is that everyone's spending more on things and that credit card spending is up, that would be useful for opposition political messaging...

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

I'd rather have free higher education than a fake war used to distract from the fact that Traitor Trump raped little girls. And bombed the fuck out of their schools in Iran. He's a pedophile and a war criminal. He must be removed from power immediately.

This is the bizarro world the Supreme Court has created with its latest voting rights decision. Thank you Jon Stewart and & @thedailyshow.com You can watch my entire conversation with Jon here: youtu.be/SCse1FFEKLM

These reusable digital Polaroids are a clever way to cover a fridge in memories

Make no mistake: The devastation and abuse you saw – in Lakeview, and Little Village, Brighton Park, and East Side were not accidents or aberrations from a plan. They were the plan in Operation Midway Blitz.

US Supreme Court blocks Louisiana voting map with second Black-majority district - Reuters Conservative repubs can't win elections without fucking cheating. The realiztions is there policies suck that they have to cheat to keep power. Fucking shitheads!

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

This is BS! www.cnbc.com/2026/04/22/v...

Social media analytics show that I lose followers every time I share my article about men needing to stop being pathetic little manbabies and instead step up and hold other men accountable to stop rape culture. Oh, whoops, sharing it again. And won't stop either www.qasimrashid.com/p/men-we-nee...

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust. We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Let’s keep reading.

Whatever happens with the ceasefire, it's worth remembering that even if the war ends, the damage remains. The broader economic consequences are large, and persistent, and affect all of us.

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

BREAKING: VA passed legislation ending tax breaks for white supremacist Confederate groups—161 years after the Civil War. But remember, reparations for Black people are unrealistic & unwarranted—after all, the Civil War ended 161 years ago. This is systemic white supremacy in 2026 America.

A 91-year-old grandmother was reported unresponsive, prompting a welfare check by police. When officers arrived, they found her in her room, busy setting a new personal record on a video game.

REPUBLICANS: trump knew nothing about his best friend jeffrey epstein's crimes. ALSO REPUBLICANS: Democrats really expect us to believe that they didn't know about their friend swalwell?

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social: “What law would you want to make?” 🔥 SMART KID: “🇺🇸 needs to let people go to the doctor free, because in other places they have it free.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Trump's popularity is failing just as much as his mental health is declining

Release ALL the unredacted Epstein Files. Arrests need to be made. Justice needs to be served.

PEN America was quick to condemn Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization. PEN’s co-CEO @selopez.bsky.social says, “We are defending freedom of expression, defending writers, literature, and the freedom of people to tell their stories and document their histories.” Everyone deserves that.

I feel like this should be a bigger story. 👀

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

5X deferments during Vietnam and he wants to lecture others on courage.

Some of you are asking why this is: 1. More nuclear powers. 2. Fewer controls, domestic or international 3. The collapse of "rigid bipolarity" means the superpowers cannot police friends/allies 4. Fewer conflicts, but more involving states that have not learned the old Cold War "rules of the road"

No Kings in Utqiaġvik (Barrow) Alaska!

Immigrants weren’t just filling existing jobs; they were helping create them. That’s Econ 101: jobs are not a fixed pie. More people means more customers, more demand, more businesses expanding, and yes, more hiring.

A cold wind off the ice in Little Traverse Bay in Petoskey, Michigan wasn't strong enough to discourage hundreds of enthusiastic and peaceful protesters from turning out with signs and flags to line US 31. Democracy rocks even in the snowy north! #nokings

My friends and fellow activists, I can’t join you on the streets today-but am with you in spirit We have always abhorred monarchy in America. It is anathema to our very core So when our president and his cabinet kill innocent people, imprison babies and start wars We must rise, together #NoKings

My favorite sign, so far. #NoKings

#NoKings Cincinnati, Ohio. Protest matters. This will help to get us through.

No Kings! Oak Park, IL.
