First World Series between two cities threatened with invasion or invaded by a U.S. president.

This should not be happening

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

The idea of Americans having to be forced to ID themselves and wait to see if they are wanted while everyone is cuffed, because of "Where they chose to live and by their skin color" Is FASCISM stop pretending it isn't

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

A lot of libertarians who have been screaming in my replies about "authoritarianism" and "tyranny" for the last four years are conspicuously quiet right now. Curious.

If I were starting a civil war, I would send National Guard troops from one state to another.

Do not fall for secessionist propaganda or “Texas is invading Illinois”! Pay attention to who is saying this, who is screwing you over, and what their end goal is.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

The "Southwest now has assigned seating" commercial, showing people acting like they've been given the greatest gift ever, has the added bonus of Southwest telling its most loyal customers that they've been suckers for decades.

These nasty little ICE skirmishes are all leading up to some big and likely deadly confrontation, aren’t they? I have such a feeling of dread.

If you have the strength, protest on October 18. If you don't, but have the means, support the protests by bringing food or water to hand out to protesters. If you don't have the strength, and don't have the money, encourage others to go. I am not a terrorist! We need to become #toobigtojail.

Hard to tell the real illegal militia from the fake illegal militia

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95% Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

Let’s be clear: undocumented immigrants aren't covered by the ACA or Medicaid—period. We want to protect American’s healthcare after Republicans voted to strip over 10 million people of their healthcare in the Big, Ugly Bill.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

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?

This, and he wants applause for it too

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians."

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

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.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Your regular reminder that residents of Puerto Rico are American citizens. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to grasp and yet...

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Wounded Knee was a massacre of innocent people, including women and children. It was one of many atrocities committed by the United States against Native Americans. The heroes were those who fought against the US military. They deserve our honors. Not those who used Hotchkiss guns against children

The correct answer is no, it violates the posse comitatus act.

Déjà vu all over again

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Well don't I feel stupid

The Supreme Court’s decision to let the administration cancel $4 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid is alarming. Congress holds the constitutional “power of the purse,” and allowing the executive to nullify that authority undermines the separation of powers.

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

The killer had zero connections to leftist groups and so they’ve dropped the story like a hot potato. But the damage is already done. The third of the country who have mushy authoritarian worship brains will believe he was a dyed in the wool leftist until they take their last breaths.

We are living in the stupidest timeline of all

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.
