🚨Governor Pritzker is calling Stephen Miller OUT! 👏🏻The👏🏻Cruelty👏🏻is👏🏻the📌
I know my odds of winning the Powerball are lower than the odds of being hit by lightning while being struck by a bus driven by Bigfoot, but they’re still better than Congress doing its job.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
Yes. #RESIST
If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.
“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
Proud of Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, & Lt. Governor Stratton! Chicago/Illinois strong!
Thank you 😊
Lotería: Stories is out tomorrow! I’m happy to see this back in all bookstores tomorrow. What a journey this book has been on! Incredible & magical is an understatement. Thank you ❤️💀🌼 open.substack.com/pub/cynthiap... Preorder: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/cynth...
💯 true.
Hope you find fall delightful! And gorgeous in your neck of the woods! ❤️

If you want to get protected in this twisted, sick country declare your gender as a gun.
Excellent! 👏🏻
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
In the USA we have brilliant scientists- medical experts. RFK Jr is not among them
“Nowhere in the history of America, or the world, where marginalized people have sat silent and idle that they’ve been able to actually achieve justice and liberation.” — #Chicago Mayor, Brandon Johnson
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
ABSOLUTELY!!
I’m all for this!!
Yes, please!
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
Amen.
School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
It's sooo dangerous in DC, that the National Guard are now tasked with picking up trash there. I suggest they start at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they can’t hate gay people enough, but they can’t be bothered to stop school shootings because they don’t love children enough. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
A reminder for future generations….please don’t let this kind of music die out.
On Women's Equality Day, we recognize the progress we've made and the work that remains to be done in the pursuit of genuine equality. Know that you'll always have a champion in me as your governor, even as forces in DC work to undo that hard-earned progress.
The “national emergency” is that the president is deranged, not rational, incapable of running our country. He has surrounded himself with power hungry sycophants and utterly inept idiots
This. 100%.
Thank you for sharing your painfully acquired wisdom. You will make a difference to any writer, aspiring or established, who takes your words to heart.
Afraid of big cities? Then don’t come. ❤️ this video.
Thou shalt not let a racist fascist rapist pedophile become a dictator and ruin all your lives.
Important point from Gov Pritzker.
YES!
Pritzker gets it.
👏🏻🙌🏻 Love our Gov!
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
The only way this administration exceeds its stupidity is with its viciousness.
The POTUS golf club covers, the shirt with the presidential seal, the ballcap with his administration numbers, the presidential seal dangling from the front of the golf cart: things that sooth the brittle ego of this insecure man by reminding him of his undeserved political prominence.
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
What our government is doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a vile, racist, cruel, and inhumane disgrace. No Christian, let alone, decent human being can justify this. And if you’re trying to, you’re the problem here.
World War II ended with Russian troops using tanks and rifles to negotiate their way into Berlin, a bullet negotiating its way into Hitler's skull, and an atomic bomb negotiating its way onto Hiroshima. But it did not end with Churchill and FDR negotiating to give Hitler big chunks of Poland.
THIS
It would depend on the compliment. I could enthusiastically offer one like, “You are the greatest living asshole on the planet! No one else in our lifetime comes close!” Now let’s go vote!
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
Nobody asked for Ghislaine Maxwell’s scripted statements. We want all the Epstein files.
Fascists and Authoritarians don't give a damn about etiquette or protocol. Replace Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett.
YES
The first park I ever knew. Many happy childhood memories. Don’t want that beautiful place defiled by Trump goons.
Agree 💯🙌🏻
Love our Gov!
I'm not interested in what notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell has to say. I'm interested in evidence of what she did. Release the Epstein Files. Stop Donald's coverup.
💯
Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.
When the moment comes, you will be tested. We are now in that moment. Stand against Fascism.
In all seriousness, the Smithsonian is terrific and the good people who make it the world's best ensemble of museums don't deserve the abuse hurled at them by this fool of a president.
He who whines like a child for a Nobel Peace Prize must not also deploy soldiers against his own people.
So gorgeous!
All these European leaders came to DC today to stand up for Zelensky & Ukraine. They came to DC today because they don’t trust Trump. They came to DC today because they know Trump is on Putin’s side. Shame on us America. Shame on us for putting a traitor in the White House.
Anyone else just feel profoundly sad for all of us, the entire country, right now?
I don’t know who needs to hear this but when you host a known war criminal murderous Dictator like Putin, there’s no peace talks being held, its called receiving orders.
Dear god.
"Trump turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. Even his flaws have flaws. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid." -Nate White
NO
This:
This. 💯
When Trump lied about ending wars overseas I didn't realize it was so he could concentrate on the wars he was going to start here at home.
Amen!
Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:

Going from Trump 1.0 to Trump 2.0 is like going from a campy horror movie that’s so dumb that it’s kinda funny to a gory horror movie that gets banned from theaters for traumatizing the audience
Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists. A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings. So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.
People working in or visiting museums in DC: Please use your phones to record politically/racially/sexuality/gender sensitive exhibits before the Trump administration desecrates them with its white supremacist heteronormative propaganda. Because we will need to fix them when he’s gone to Hell.
THIS! 🙌🏻
SHAME, Smithsonian.
THIS.
Seriously 🙄💥🤮
The Epstein files must make Watergate look like a parking ticket.
What we see happening in real time is actually part of Martial Law. Oh, it hasn’t been officially declared, but his federal takeover plans for cities across the nation…under the cloak of “attacking crime,” is pre-positioning for when he does. It will happen prior to the November elections. Watch.
First, the troops came to LA to attack and disappear the peaceful protesters. Then, the troops came to DC to attack and disappear the peaceful homeless. If America falls, it will be because of the people who weren’t paying attention — and didn’t take that damn poem seriously.
Please let’s not call Trump’s meeting with Putin in Alaska a meeting for peace. It’s no meeting for peace when the murderous invader is conferring with his American asset.
