People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Absolutely ridiculous!

Emma Watson seems to be on Chapter 1, let's hope she can move on to Chapter 2 now

I really fuckin need money. If you can spare anything, I'd be so grateful. I have a phone interview today w a food bank to see if they can bring me and my dad groceries. PayPal @alyciaart

What a loser.

Everyone should read this devastating report: Trump’s sabotage of USAID stranded lifesaving medicines — fueling chaos and leaving children to die. His policies are destroying our reputation and influence overseas and literally killing kids. No words.

www.jurist.org/features/202... “Trump…firing the Army, Navy, and Air Force JAGs [is in some ways] even more chilling than firing the four star [generals]. It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down”

The 25th has to be invoked by his cabinet and then 2/3 of Congress. He's not going anywhere.

Treason

Dear Generals and all service personnel, REMEMBER YOUR OATH.

Too bad, the people who can impeach him are also lying fraudulent traitors. Also, he has already been impeached twice. As long as the GOP is not purged from the Senate and the House, Trump can everything he wants.

There are no words. A psychopath is sitting in the Oval Office, demanding illegal acts from OUR military. 25th amendment NOW!

Republicans would rather shut down the government than protect the Affordable Care Act. A shutdown puts ACA tax credits at risk—and in Texas, premiums could jump 289%, costing families $459 more each year. (1/2)

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

They are fully admitting that they are "at war" with American cities. The administration and the president is declaring that this IS war. This is not language to be taken lightly. This is a full authoritarian takeover of the country by force. Any area deemed unloyal is being invaded by US military.

a lot of Democratic politicians in the US adhere to a cargo cult version of pragmatism where anything that’s morally correct and just must be naive and doomed to failure, and anything that’s morally dubious but appears to partially further your interests is shrewd and the best way to get things done

"One more word and you shall have cause to regret your petulance." ~ Luciane FFXIV. People who say you should read a book instead of playing video games have never played Final Fantasy.

it's so dope when apps do a UI overhaul that completely avoids making a single quality of life improvement. just shuffle that shit around for me!! put today's trendiest style of edges on everything!!! the way menus looked in 2023 is DEAD!! ok but where the fuck is Search why would you bury Search

Or perhaps "least of all in kindergarten "

My thoughts exactly. We need to not accept language the separates the nonreligious just because it's what is considered "normal".

I really think this statement could do without the ‘least of all when gathering peacefully to pray’. Our crazy gun violence takes innocent lives of all types all of the time. The classic example is kids at school who are just trying to learn and grow up. None are ‘least of all’ in there deserving.

True today for couples making twice this much and the stats on the top 1 or even .1% are meanwhile astronomically insane.

I've been getting much more into emulation now that PS2 is so much easier to emulate than it used to be.

I too have had this dream. And also just being able to finally make what I want. Movies too.

Why do "news" sources insist on making headlines say "Trump claims. . ." instead of telling us what the actual truth is first and then quoting Trump's lies second?

Great point from @emptywheel.bsky.social: Trump's sliding approval on immigration is because millions of citizens are bearing witness. "All of it starts from the people—both private citizens and independent journalists—witnessing, filming, and posting ICE thugs." www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/29/b...

The worst secret police gang standing around en masse on street corners in the nicest parts of Chicago's tourist downtown can't quite successfully kidnap random Hispanic-looking people as they pass by. bsky.app/profile/marm...

MAGAty intelligence (or lack thereof).

So all those celebrities “quietly” moving out of the US now get to say it was about their career. Turns out when film industry booms everywhere but the US, fleeing wasn’t paranoia—it was portfolio management.

Why are the flags not being flown at half-staff for the victims of this weekend's multiple mass shootings? Why has POTUS not made a public address in their honor & condemned the violence? Where is the wall-to-wall coverage by the media? Apparently, their lives mean less than a podcaster’s.

In the wake of EA's acquisition, I just want to say how grateful I am for all of the Dragon Age and Mass Effect we were given by dedicated, talented devs likely always working against the grain of the shareholders-- Especially Veilguard. What a journey. Thank you for the adventures. 🩵

US military: “our people are our greatest asset” LinkedIn: legions of O-4s and O-5s posting about how some defense tech venture is going to ⚡️ revolutionize warfare 🚨

sad that I can't reduce the $0 I spend on EA games any further

Chicago stands. Democracy or fascism. America’s soul is on the line.

The answer to "the AI systems that corporate overlords push everywhere are shit" is not "so we need open source AI". These systems are shit cause they structurally are. They are just being shoved everywhere to reduce labor power. "Open source AI" (if that even existed) is not changing that.

The NHS is routinely described as 'unsustainable'. But that adjective never gets applied to arms spending, bank bail-outs or tax dodging by the rich.

Nigel Edge just killed 3 people in Southport, NC. He was a right wing conspiracy follower. We must refute Trump's lies that "the left" is responsible for violence. It is a deliberate deflection.

People want universal healthcare. They want affordable food, clean air, education and housing. They want the freedom to pursue a better life for themselves. What do they get? Militarized cities. Threats to Medicaid. Detention camps. Gold card immigration programs. Tyranny.

Americans will argue that America should become a Christian ethnostate to reduce violence before they'll consider reducing the amount of guns they own. Not a serious country.
