Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.
Oh Yea.... 👍
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
Epstein survivor: Epstein surrounded himself with the most powerful leaders of the world. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump. RELEASE THE FILES!!!

The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
"When did we become a country where it's okay 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?" Gov. JB Pritzker
Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson were awesome. Chicago is the City of Big Shoulders. I'm hopeful.
Shameless power hungry, money grubbing grifter
Watch @govpritzker.illinois.gov’s press conference condemning Trump’s attempted illegal hostile federal takeover of Chicago using crime/gun violence as an excuse when gun homicides have declined due to community violence intervention programs. youtube.com/live/8L2BDjl...
Gov Pritzker knows whats happening
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."
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."
www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
On this day 1945, "hours after Japan’s surrender in World War II, Vietnamese communist Ho Chi Minh declares the independence of Vietnam from France. The proclamation paraphrased the U.S. Declaration of Independence in declaring, “All men are born equal: the Creator has given us inviolable rights,...
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?"
again i will say this today, the greatest threat to democracy, individual freedoms, and most citizens personal safety is not islam, socialism or wokeism, or someone's sex or sexuality. The greatest threat today is "christian" nationalism.

GOP Rep. warns Muslims want to impose “Sharia law” at very time he’s imposing “Christian law.” "Sharia law is coming!” screamed GOP Rep. Josh Brecheen at his town hall in Oklahoma.

The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Sadly, exactly what people expected to happen. ANYTHING other than reasonable gun control.

Is he going to die this time? No. If he died would it change the fact that millions of our neighbors voted for him, twice? Also no.

Ain’t it funny that people who are scared of artificial intelligence voted for no intelligence?

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.

Scientists have studied mRNA for decades. The vaccine has proven to be safe & effective-saving millions of lives. Researchers are working on mRNA vaccine for HIV. RFK Jr is an ignorant nut. In 2019 he visited Samoa & told ppl measles vaccine is dangerous. Tragically he was believed. 83 kids died

🚨Trump: “I’m not a dictator… but I can do anything I want. I’m the President of the United States.” Millions of Americans have worn the uniform and sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, not one man’s ego. Trump is spitting on that sacrifice and shredding the values we served to defend.

The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.

Five times (I counted) rude Joe interrupted Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, trying to bully him into saying the city needs 5,000 more police. When finally allowed to speak, Johnson was brilliant in response.
