Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
EVERY time someone is on fire in a tv or movie I’m screaming this. 😂
Witness intimidation?
This is all the Epstein Files people should need. #BelieveWomen
Please don’t. 🙏 We need you. 🤗
They were “suspected” drug runners. No trial, no due process, no judge or jury. All for show and Trump and his flunkies stood around laughing and smiling about what should be very serious business. Ordering the killing of 11 people should never be taken lightly. Tin pot dictator shit.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
✊
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
💯🔥🔥🔥🔥 These vets speak truth to power. Please share. Especially to service members. @govpritzker.illinois.gov @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com
The level of megalomania, the elementary-level composition and massively pathetic and desperate attempt to downplay what now is obvious…he is all over the Epstein Files…are STUPEFYING.
They’re coming for you Don. Better watch your back. ✊
🚨BREAKING: Trump was just asked if Dan Bongino is still his FBI deputy director, and he responded, “I think so.” MAGA is imploding. 🤣
food for thought
🔥
One note: it wasn’t a lack of tact. It was planned abuse and torture of those children and parents. Great content Katie! I do t miss you on MSNBC, because I don’t watch anymore. 😉
I spoke to a couple yesterday that admitted to voting for T the first time, but quickly learned their mistake. I praised them for figuring it out, for voting for Democrats (1st time ever) in the last 2 presidential elections, and for being brave enough to talk about it. I asked them to keep talking!
Touché. He’s trying to reach those that haven’t woken up yet. I hope he and Gavin make a dent.
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
So many individuals working hard to turn this around. I hope I’m one of them. But, there are more who support Trump. He got more than half (52-55%) of white women in each of the three elections he was in. That’s why I said we are not pulling our weight “as a group.” www.usnews.com/news/nationa...
One major one. Those jobs should stay in Colorado!
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.
Every time RFK jr speaks the word "science", he must be asked to recite a detailed summary of the scientific method. He won't be able to answer.
🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.
Last thing I will post tonight about the HPV vaccine is this: It not only prevents cervical cancer, but also penile cancer and anal cancer. So boys should get it, too. (Also, statistical modelling clearly shows that is boys are vaccinated, cervical cancer is eliminated faster)
Lora Webb Nichols’s photographs of boom and bust in her small Wyoming town might be the largest photographic record of the era and region.
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
It's the only way we will win.
That’s definitely a potty dance.
It was unbelievable what you had to endure on the other place. I’m thrilled you feel safe here. 😍
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
White women are far from clean on this one. They don’t engage in as much violence, but they are voting MAGA and raising these kids, too. We are not pulling our weight as a group.
Dox ‘em. And their parents. I don’t care that they are minors.
The victim was identified as Keontae. He managed to escape and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 4/4 www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...
Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident?..
Such a talented man. I’m grateful I got to witness the sharing of his gifts with the world.
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
I’m more interested in the retro experience of democracy.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
Fatality.
No notes
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
I like the rebrand.
Science is real
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
👇👇
California stepping up.
That’s not all New Mexico is doing: bsky.app/profile/char...
Let’s go Colorado…
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
This is the shit that makes me want to vomit. 🤢
Hey Avg. Dem voter…
average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything
The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
STOP THE KILLING STOP THE KILLING STOP THE KILLING STOP THE KILLING
PM Carney has quietly, diligently and successfully been fortifying Canada from the inside out, establishing new markets as we decouple from the US, restructuring our economy to become more efficient and dynamic and laying the foundation to quickly become an economic powerhouse.🇨🇦
Right?!?! With every bit of news that comes out…🤢
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
In honor of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina: "Heck of a job you're doing, Donny."
Nothing says respect for our troops like deploying the National Guard only to have them pick up trash and spread mulch all day.
Ugh. The cruelty is the point. While they’re doing that, how many potholes and road repairs are being delayed or cancelled. Just to be the most EPIC mean girls ever.
This is and has always been my problem with Sanders. It’s not that he’s wrong. He’s often right. My problem is that he’s been advocating for the same policies and solutions from the beginning…but he has never had the leadership to get his platform implemented. He doesn’t get shit done. Same here.
I love this guy. One of the Tennessee Three. He is the now and the future.
Can’t wait to hear more about what it will be!
Oh
The same people who keep invoking "Black culture" or "Native culture" as a reason for extreme poverty in communities never seem to address what they consider "white culture" which is justifiable colonial genocide and systemic oppression of other groups. "We brought you roads and Nyquil after all"
Ok, every democrat and republican now.
Just as Josef Mengele was the "crown jewel" of the Third Reich
Preach! ✊
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
They’re dismantling the community and family units, just like during slavery. To weaken the individuals so they can be subjugated.
Megalomania.
Release the Epstein files.
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Heard.
FINALLY! You tell ‘em Chicago!!!
😂He sleeps like that…a lot.😂
When the math doesn’t comport with your bigotry
Keep fighting!!!✊
Honestly, with Trump it’s a Schrödinger’s President situation. Until someone checks Mar-a-Lago, he’s both golfing and dead at the same time.
True…wasn’t afraid…
