Illinois has same-day voter registration! Make sure you show up at YOUR assigned polling place with 2 forms of ID!

We need to restore basic rights. They are guaranteed by a document that everyone claims to love and revere.

Vote for Kat. We have the power when we choose candidates who refuse PAC money

We need to end prediction markets for government action. NOW. This bone chilling story about a reporter’s life threatened bc he simply reported on Iran missile strikes: “After you make us lose $900,000 we will invest no less than that to finish you.”

Two weeks into the war that he started for reasons he can’t explain, the president of the United States is threatening to charge news outlets with treason for purportedly colluding with the enemy by producing coverage he dislikes. bsky.app/profile/atru...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... “Gaza was the laboratory. Minab is the market. The result is a world in which the most consequential targeting decisions in modern warfare are made by systems that cannot explain themselves, supplied by companies that answer to no one”

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

The problem is not framing.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

UPDATE: Sunny and the others detained are now safe at home. But we’re demanding answers about their illegal detention and transfer across state lines. Join Sunny Naqvi and community leaders tomorrow as she shares her story. - Broadview Facility, 1930 Beach St
 - March 8 • 2 PM

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

“A U.S. citizen from Skokie who was born in Evanston was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at Chicago O’Hare International Airport Thursday, along with two other U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, after returning on a flight from Turkey.”

#Caturday good day to pickup a calico at the store

The theater of war is expanding to like 25% of the globe as Mike Johnson continues to call this a mere "operation" 20+ nations have now been drawn into this... "operation"

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

It’s easy to claim you’re winning when you didn’t have a goal in the first place

Preach!

So if Kamala Harris had been elected do you think the United States would be in a war with Iran? Just asking...

BREAKING: It seems we have arrived at the We Told You So part of the program

"It is now simply a standard, often unmentioned part of our politics that those who the president dislikes, within his own party or outside it, will be the target of stochastic terror."

The year is 2046: A group of masked TrumpCorp officials shoot protestors at the health casino. A reporter from FreePressWithCBS asks Don Jr's VP for life JD Vance about the shooting: "Unfortunately, this, is a problem we inherited from the Biden administration"

Columbia University says federal immigration agents entered a residence hall under the guise of searching for a missing person and then arrested Ellie Aghayeva, a student from Azerbaijan. n.pr/3OAlkhD

The physical violence being used against words on a paper tells you everything you need to know about the Republican's views on the 1st Amendment...

Being great on the ice isn’t enough. When the 🇺🇸 hockey team had the chance to stand up for the 🇺🇸women’s team, they chose to laugh along with the bully-in-chief instead. That’s disappointing. Real strength shows up off the ice too.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

So many wounds that will never close, never heal. May justice be brought in equal measure

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

ICE was flawed from day one... born out of post-9/11 fear and built on policies that blurred national security with domestic control. Some systems don’t need reform. They need to be abolished. #AbolishICE #ICEtapo #FDT

I don't want to hear a conservative talk about the "rule of law" ever again.

straight up Gestapo shit

This is awesome 🙂

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

I'm a journalist and attorney, not an activist, so I've no answers on what Americans should do right now. I only know this: Donald Trump is attempting to incite a civil war so he can cancel all future elections, and he will keep executing citizens until that outcome is achieved.

So whatever happened to the release of the Epstein files after the house and senate both agreed to have them released. Dems and republicans both. Are we to believe that means nothing now? Where the hell are they? What’s next? Do other countries have to vote for the release of the files? WTF🤷‍♂️??

No justice then. Our democracy is so over

REPORTER: Do you commit to not militarily engaging NATO partners? TRUMP: I don't talk about that REPORTER: You're not willing to commit to not attacking a NATO partner?

this alone is worth an impeachment tbh

Chris Jones launches Iowa ag secretary campaign with call to ‘retreat from ethanol’

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

This is an answer nobody would ever accept from a democrat. A democrat who gave this answer would be ruthlessly mocked until the end of time. Yet Trump and Republicans get away with it without so much as a follow-up.

I will vote in November, if I don’t t there will still be consequences. Either way November will end this charade.
