Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Him and Elanor Rigby.
I'm objective enough to be able to separate an author's bad politics from their atrocious writing.
Last weekend, I retraced the steps of two of the most important moments in American (and Chicago) labor history, starting with the Haymarket Massacre. But the Haymarket Massacre wasn’t just a tragedy. It still provides a compass for us to fight against fascism today:

Elon Musk has a net worth of $415 billion Which means he could spend over $28 MILLION DOLLARS A DAY for the next 40 years before he ran out of money…. TAX THE FUCKING RICH

If you live in a police state and you're allowed to do something, it's not because you have any degree of freedom. It's because what you're doing isn't a threat to power.
Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales. Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs. Welcome to trickle-down starvation.
Yesterday's Russian mechanized assault in Donetsk was carried out by five assholes in a Lada. At this rate, Russian forces will reach the homeland in approximately one thousand years.

Being a tomato dumper is hard work. This crew of 28 pickers harvests thousands of 24lb buckets a day. That makes for a lot of work for the two dumpers. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now

Id heard that Cantor Fitzgerald, the Wall Street firm formerly run by Commerce Secy Lutnick and now run by his sons is one of the big buyers of these refund rights. Turns out it’s already public back in July when they were buying them at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar. www.wired.com/story/cantor...
This earthquake is giving real vibes.
The Trump administration canceled nearly 700 CDC grants worth $11 billion. Democratic-led states sued and won injunctions. Republican-led states largely lost funding.
I will not have my fwiend Bigus Dickus widiculed by the common soldierwy.
I don't care if "Today's demonic killer was a mentally disturbed man who identified as a radish". That changes nothing whatsoever about kids being killed with an assault rifle someone sold legally to a "mentally disturbed man".
The White House is a crime spree zone.
Sorry, he's still alive. With all that's going on, Trump just chose to write a screed on Truth Social about the baseball HOF, Roger Clemens and Pete Rose. None of the staffers ghostwriting posts for him would ever think to post that inane drivel. Proof of Stupidity also provides Proof of Life.
The White House is a crime spree zone.
If Trump had successfully hacked the voting machines, he would be calling for EXCLUSIVE USE of voting machines in the next cycle, not paper ballots. He's calling for paper ballots because they can be more easily manipulated. This would be unnecessary if the voting machines were hacked.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
The White House is a crime spree zone.
I also don't care if my plumber can crochet mittens.
Mayors are not named crazy stuff like "Zohran Mamdani". Mayors have regular American names like "Fiorello LaGuardia"

This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
This is exactly what the Blue states should do. If all the federal social and health services are being cut and the only thing the federal government IS paying for us unwanted fascist stormtroopers kidnapping and abusing the residents of the states it's time to cut the federal government off.
“Tomas” was tilling the soil in this vegetable field near Bakersfield CA. By 11am it was 97° on this day and Tomas was thankful for the little protection the tractor cab offered from the sun and blowing dust. #WeFeedYou #Calor
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
The only encouraging thing here is that if Trump and Musk really had control over the voting machines, paper ballots are the last thing they'd ask for.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
Ouch…
New executive order from the Chicago mayor affirms” that Chicago police will not “collaborate with federal agents” on joint patrols or arrests pursue “avenues to resist coordinated efforts from the federal government” www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/p...

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt. This is simply false. - UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh - panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
"Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court..." This is the real problem.
That's not even the scandal of the last four minutes.
These goons claim they want to cover their faces to avoid someone doxxing them and hurting their family, but you know that if things were reversed they'd all be falling over themselves to doxx YOU and hurt YOUR family. Every accusation is a confession.
I think it's not talked about enough how there's a system around this to make it possible. Companies are not just "paying absent people for two years" over there. There is a culture and a civilization around this stuff that makes sure FEW people are stuck in illness (or incarcerated forever etc)
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
War is not about numbers or metal.War is about people Today is Remembrance Day for the fallen Defenders of #Ukraine We have lost&continue losing our best people -heroes of Ukraine&Europe.Eternal memory&eternal glory to those who gave their lives for Ukraine.May their deaths&heroism not be in vain.
Orban's face always looks like he just shit in his pants.
The proof of an actual dictator's real power is that they can just hang up their picture everywhere without having to conceal it behind a dumbass slogan.

Any actual doctor will do.
Any time I want the Starbucks taste experience I buy a cup of regular drive-thru coffee and dump my ashtray into it.
Passing legislation requiring the secretary of HHS to be a licensed MD seems like a pretty good idea.
Happy birthday to Jack Kirby.
great you guys did it the computer can call the cops on you now

His rifle had a death threat against Trump painted on it. Actual, non-performative US RW extremists know that Trump is a just a charlatan using sympathetic rhetoric to hijack their 'causes' for his own personal profit. Real white supremacists aren't named Fuentes or Tarrio.
They should have deployed the Ryet Police.
This is my bin bag There are many like it, but this one is mine My bin bag is my best friend It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my bin bag is useless. Without my bin bag, I am useless. 🫡
Thanks for the updates
Can you explain to the layman whether or not a vacated "excessive fine" now means there will be no fine? Thanks
And here I've been thinking all along that it was mostly racism. Bless my heart.
If I was a white 1960s music critic who really just wanted to say "It's catchy, but I don't like black people", that Otis Redding review would be my masterpiece.
The Gestapo Points to Guernica and Asks Picasso, “Did You Do This?;” Picasso Replies “No, You Did!”
Alphabetically that means Michael Bolton is next. #bluelightspecial
The only thing the Trump family loves more than White Power is White Powder. #CrackheadBarrelDC
Firing a white man means this is in furtherance of the treason rather than the racism this time.

"WhY WoNt DEMS FiGHt!!!!???!!" *Newsom begins fighting* "EWWW NOt hIM" #wtf
"Get fucked" is also a totally legal response. No one has to show ID to ICE or the National Guard. Period.
I'm sure this video of three young hawks being terrified by a butterfly is a metaphor for something but I don't know what...

People with blue eyes don't have blue coloured irises. They have a genetic mutation that means they don't produce any pigment in their irises. The blue colour you see is light reflecting from the back of the retina. We actually have clear eyes.
