A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Also McCauley just isn’t aware. He needs to work on seeing the game as it unfolds.
It says something about something that the coolest, calmest, smoothest two-minute drill in years was orchestrated by a guy who has been able to legally buy fireworks for like two weeks.
Guys, if things keep going this way, I don't think the USA is going to be hosting the 2028 Olympics.
Well there’s that too ….. 🤢
How can the US make a deal with Russia and Ukraine if Ukraine doesn’t consent?
$20 million to drive Ohio State fans completely fucking insane for two years? Sure.
I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡
NOBODY WANTS APPLE BUILDING IPHONES HERE YOU IGNORANT FAT TODDLER. Good God you exhausting sloppy goon

Look, my conservative lawyer friends and colleagues are expressing concern regularly and vocally. I cannot emphasize this enough; we are on the whole, wildly under-reacting.
They are actively trying to kill people.
Oooh, this immediately made think "that's a site for making friends."
I haven't read today's SCOTUS decision, but my prediction is that this SCOTUS is going to procedural error our country into an authoritarian lawless nightmare.
ALL OF AMERICA IS TIRED OF TRUMP AND MUSK ‼️ #HandsOffProtests
Never underestimate the power of “fuck that guy - like for real”.
20+ hr floor speech > doing absolutely nothing
At a minimum. 👏👏
Whatever works at this point. ✅
The sound came back after I commented, but it wasn’t there originally.
Sign up! It's capped at 15 spots. Send it to your friends, family, whomever. If you're worried about whether this is for you, presume you are welcome. #altgov @alt-irs.altgov.info @altcdc.altgov.info @altnih4science.bsky.social @altcdc.altgov.info @alttaxpro.altgov.info @altfws.altgov.info
I promise, it's completely free, not a sales pitch, and is really there for you/your people to gain community, feel less alone, and come away with some tangible things that will help navigate the path forward.
What's happening now has a similar helpless vibe, and while I don't have all the answers on how to fix our government, I do know how to help people find their way through. That's why I'm doing these free groups. This week, we're doing an exercise that helps you see yourself as more than your work.
As a baby attorney, I was laid off right at the beginning of the Great Recession. The legal industry hadn't yet experienced their mass layoffs. I felt like a failure, alone. I needed help but didn't know what that would look like. bit.ly/4byY2jt
When is your town hall so I can come tell you how disgusted I am in person?
I will create and purchase mailing lists and send fliers. I will do whatever it takes to make sure he lives with the consequences of selling out our republic to serve his friendship. Please don't make me. I have other shit to do.
I swear to god, if @durbin.senate.gov votes yes on cloture, I will spend every day this year reminding every citizen of Illinois that he chose to protect his old white dude buddy and the Republicans over his constituents. I will rent planes to fly banners over Wrigley and soldier field.
If we need carrier pigeons to get this message through their thick heads, we can do that too.
I wasn’t able to get through on the phone but I was able to send a fax faxzero.com/fax_senate.php
I got through with a fax. faxzero.com/fax_senate.php
Thanks! Just sent my fax since they've obviously turned off the phones.
The president turned the south lawn of the white house into a tesla dealership and musk promised him $100 million in donations on the same day.
Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Attn: DC #lawsky: FYI, Trump/Bondi loyalists are currently making a bid to take over the DC Bar: Her brother is running for President and Alicia Long (who I believe is US Attorney Ed Martin's chief deputy right now) is running for Treasurer.
Guess I have to go buy a farm and a tractor to support my fellow woke liberals.
In light of the crushing uncertainty that surrounds our current public servants, i decided to offer a few free group coaching sessions. First one is this Friday. Share with anyone who might want to join. calendly.com/erinconlon/l...
Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who stands with the Yosemite National Park workers, who have hung the upside-down distress flag in opposition to trump and Elon, and every patriotic American taking a stand in protest against the bullshit. This is OUR fucking country.

If you’re happy and you know it stay in bed If you’re happy and you know it stay in bed If you’re happy and you know it getting up will surely blow it If you’re happy and you know it stay in bed.
Thank you for your hard work!!
One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!
Here’s hoping…..
Lawyers are on the front line of this coup. We all took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of our states and this country. We're uniquely positioned to push back.
Quick explanation of why I want us to hang out to talk about anything but politics (ok a lil bit of politics). Building community is how we get through this…
All you have to do is click this link, pick a time that works for you, and show up. Share this with whomever. I'll make time for you.
This is for anyone. You don't have to work in the federal government. You don't have to be laid off or even considering a career transition. I'm doing this because the air of uncertainty is suffocating, and I am honestly pretty good at helping people find clarity.
I know a lot of you work in the government, have friends in policy and the gov, have clients affected by all this, and I want to help. One way I feel like I can help right now is share with you that I will happily have a 30 minute call with anyone who is trying to figure out what's next for them.
This headline is weak sauce. BE STRAIGHTFORWARD.
I called @govpritzker.illinois.gov this afternoon, and the woman staffer told me that they were doing nothing, had no plans to do anything, and I shouldn't bother calling them again. I'm calling every day until I get an appropriate response.
This is how to resist.
So how’s it going so far?
Pretty sure I’m gonna be like this whale for the foreseeable future. Popping my head up to see what’s going on and then going right back to my people. @skylight.social #skylightsocial
It’s like waiting for a response from someone you’re into but aren’t official with yet.
I’m not certain this is the darkest day in my lifetime but I am certain it’s in the top 10. #goblue @skylight.social

I’m over here crying during Biden’s last address like it’s a eulogy.
What a year for the Big Ten, everyone accomplished their goals. Michigan won The Game, Indiana made the Playoff, Oregon won the conference, Penn State won a bowl game and Ohio State made the National Championship Game. #ItJustMeansNorth
The "woo woo" to "WTF" pipeline is real, and has gotten a few of my colleagues, one of whom chose to forego cancer treatment because they "did [their] own research." It's terrifying how easy it is for a person to get caught in this.
