Every word of this. Every. Word.
The real message should be "anyone showing up to arrest individuals in Illinois will themselves be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." This includes any and every individual from the Texas National Guard deployed to Illinois without the consent of Gov. Pritzker.
Bowser's order and behavior has been terrible, but the Post's headline grossly misrepresents her order.
continues to be useless
Interesting take from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/chri...

they shot a boat out of venezuela?? Anyone hear that?
tf?
Friend who is a JAG wants nothing to do with this.
definitely no
BREAKING: Pentagon authorizes up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges, according to a memo reviewed by the AP.
yup
whohoo!!!
of course. But watch the media uncritically claim that he has done it or id doing it when he clearly can't. Same as his voting pronouncement. Elections are local. He can't do shit about that either.
deep cut
Still sharing this @katz.theracket.news classic
"Our life with Christ ought to have some bearing on our lives as citizens. We cannot approve or practice publicly in the name of Caesar what the Lord condemns, disapproves, or curses, whether it be failure to honor our word, exploiting of the poor, police torture, or regimes of terror." #Mauriac
NEW: Judge Sooknanan is back at it. She orders DOJ to file at fifth status report to address whether the two children discussed in its previous report have been returned to ORR custody. Status report due at 12 noon today.
You guys see where this is going? Right?

Louder for the people in the back. (The whole point is that the RW propaganda machine is REALLY LOUD.)

In an international effort "organised by Reporters Without Borders (RSF)..., more than 250 news outlets from over 70 countries will simultaneously black out their front pages..., and interrupt their broadcasting [today] to condemn the murder of journalists by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip."
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
If you know the real Giuliani story, please send the scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social
Haha hey anybody remember Jill Stein?
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Paging the Gates Foundation.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
And that Secretary of State I was not known for being all about voting rights.
Until and unless we see these kids off the planes, we should not believe the DOJ.
Thank god
Phew! Battle won today, but not the war, sadly

That’s what it’s called. Mixed immigration status. Shortened to mixed-status. It just means that in one family you could have one person who is undocumented, one a US citizen and one a green-card holder. Happens more often than you’d think. Apologies if you already knew that.
Read the whole thread & look for your town.
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

This part.
Thanks for that. Our gov is so, so weak. Big wish for @peterneronha.bsky.social to run next year.
+1
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
“Black women are canaries in the coal mine.” Oh, we know.
False.
Elections are local. He can’t do that. Nothing to see here. Rinse. Repeat.
Gotcha. Thanks. So it seems we need to reach out to the governor to join the compact with the other blue governors for access to the vaccine.
Why does it say flu instead of Covid on the page? I know that’s besides the point, but still I’m wondering.
Nothing good comes of private equity.
CHICAGO…
Yup. He came back from the Covid scare meaner. Same after the shooting.
I 💯 expect there to be a serious hospital visit health scare and then he comes back and makes some big "in your face" of it and that vindictiveness fuels another year of his life.
Oof
Chuck Schumer has died and been replaced with ChatGPT, whose training data cutoff is January 2024.
Something blue states will need to explore: how to create cross-state compacts dedicated to a functioning government as the Trump administration walks away from it's responsibilities.
Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Again, from the most centrist of centrist. Open your eyes.
the sarcasm, it is dripping Emily :)
One of the changes is that line 68 will go from running every 45 minutes to every 90 minutes. That is, in effect, an elimination of a route.
Oh great a Peter Thiel guy running the CDC under RFK Jr what could possibly go wrong www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Do we have access to the attachment mentioned in the letter?
Thank you. You are right. We have passed so many red lines. And I feel like folks, especially in what feels like a safe blue state, are not really aware. And this did not help my mood. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/o...
This is their ONLY source. Literally, this video.
Yup. Fitting as I’ve always thought of him as Alma Coin in the Hunger Games.

"Dems are so worried about alienating a small slice of the electorate they’re hesitating to condemn the most abusive act yet by an unpopular president. I’m no strategist, but boy does that sound like a losing strategy," writes @monicapotts.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/1996...

This is how it’s done.
Yup our AG has talked about how dem AGs have had a weekly call since November.
The murder of little angels at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis - and so many other places - by people with assault weapons (or any other firearm) is a "national sin.” This is not a mere political issue. It is a defining moral one.
Bravo! I love his lawyers.
If we added in-line translation, how many of you would use it? Pls comment w your emoji of choice 🧚♀️ bc likes are not indicative enough of want

louder!
So we're clear: It's absolutely the guns and not a peep about "thoughts and prayers" when those children were inside a church PRAYING!!!

PUT A BULLET IN IT IOWA GOP SENATE SUPERMAJORITY GONE AND A 20 POINT OVERPERFORMANCE
Oof. Bad, bad AI rendering of hands, random eyes, faces. Why does he need to do any of this. And yes, I’m all not sure that’s the population of west Philly.
Wild! But I want to see @peterneronha.bsky.social run.
lol
"Now look, folks, I'm sick and tired of this Democratic party bringing a pencil to a knife fight," Martin said. "We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore. We've got to stand up and fight. We're not going to have a hand tied behind our back anymore."
for a fscking CAMERA!! Also it's a lie.
TRAVIS HAD A BRACELET AND A DREAM AND NOW HES GONNA GET A WHOLE ASS WIFE 😭😭😭😭
Right? I'm just happy for them and I am okay enjoying that for as long as it lasts. the world is full of horrors. This is not one of them and I'm happy for the respite.
Watch what Dem politicians saw about this. This is a purported firing. It’s illegal. Treating it as real signals weakness.
real?
Oof that’s a gut punch.
Yup. Nothing to celebrate.
Thank you
Things are dire. They just are. Our shared reality is under attack; I've been struggling with the enormity of it for a long time now but unsure where to even start, but Ted Gioia says it well.
On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.
Atlantic Tropical development is unlikely in the last week of August. That's a little unusual: over the last 75 years, at least one tropical storm has formed ~60% of the time. At least one hurricane developed in ~40% of seasons. Nice easy week. Cherish it while it lasts.
Could you please alt-text this? It’s very powerful and should be shared far and wide.
Route 68 (CCRI Newport/Memorial Blvd./First Beach): Weekday frequency reduced from every 45 minutes to every 85-90 minutes. Weekend service eliminated. Seriously?????? @jamiebova.bsky.social see this bs? @emzconk.bsky.social
50% of the population is missing. Just sayin'
I am really, really hoping that Peter Neronha runs next year.
@kennyuong.bsky.social did you see this?
Whoa!
