There’ll be APUSH questions about this moment for future generations if we make it through this time, and if we do, it’ll be thanks to officials like Pritzker

Somehow I still have enough naïveté left to be shocked that someone would ever say this shit in public let alone at a dais—God help us
I genuinely can’t think of a hidden scandal that would be more embarrassing than this WEIRD public ass kissing. These people are almost more unbelievable than HE is.
She was mildly respected around here for being as genuine a labor supporter as a republican could be but of course she traded whatever integrity she may have had for sycophancy like the rest. So embarrassing.
I’m naive I’m sure but of all the myriad things that scared me about AI, I never dreamed of fearing it goading people into self-harm. That is so, so horrifying beyond what I’d imagined
Was just coming here to say this! I was really impressed—hands down best museum food I’ve ever had, and really good generally as well
I swear, if I hear another “get lost” outta that guy I’m gonna lose it
THIS is what absolutely kills me—the similar thing happening on the taskbar—it arbitrarily hides windows and then having to click the 3 dots to be able to hover over a program with multiple windows. It’s the absolute dumbest
On the user end of a company that recently migrated, it’s taking me way longer than two weeks, not to learn HOW to do things, but to accustom myself to things taking 10x the clicks and time even AFTER I’ve learned the new way. It’s so horrendous
Ok but WHY are they doing such a bad job hiding it?? It’s inconceivable how incompetent these people are in literally EVERY way
right—they gave SOMEONE more time off and more money but it sure as hell wasn’t workers
Every couple of months I get closer and closer to quitting my job JUST so I can never interact with windows or Microsoft ever ever again
I remember literally feeling chills down my spine the first time I heard them refer to human beings as “animals.” So, so dark that people feel liberty to speak like this
An image came to mind of him dressed up in a scooby doo villain mask trying to “trick liberals” into switching sides, but the only link I could find on a cursory search was that his website posted a link to the article
Very glad to hear re the blocking arms sales. Was a resident of Chicago/Illinois and have really been impressed over the years. His accent sounding like my uncles and childhood teachers is a real cherry on top for me—I’d support him hands down
Viscerally experiencing Portland being north of Chicago when I moved there from the west side was a real trip that I never shut up about
Disgraceful—don’t reward this man with an non-challenging platform for doing the bare minimum his job requires. The clips speak for themselves—he scolds and lies to his constituents and they’re tired of it. No need to award him a trophy bc he’s just a bit more shameless than his cowardly colleagues
I grew up an hour and a half away in Chicago+suburbs and stayed til my 30s and had no clue until a recent business trip what a great little spot Milwaukee is! Kind of a hidden gem for sure!
These aren’t a part 1 part 2, right? If I’m unavailable for one I could hit the other and get the same training? Thanks for doing what you do!
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
It’s the new Hillary in the apartment pic I’ve seen the video clips but that photo is killing me—real deranged old guy vibes
How do these ghouls’ outsides match their insides SO well
I’m applauding this kind of action but with reservation, skepticism, a little cynicism—if any of these people doing the bare minimum think that it’s winning them unqualified loyalty from me as a 2028 voter they’re sorely mistaken—now is past time for us to demand better
Disingenuous bullshit from the NYT. No one ever said the tariffs weren’t going to make any money. It’s that it’s OUR money they’re budgeting with. THAT’s the story—that he’s stepping over congress to tax the American people without approval and it’s working. Lord is it that hard to say?
If I didn’t know it was serious before, hearing the way you reported on it on marketplace today was like hearing a siren. Thanks for doing what you do.
What fucking peace deal—who has stopped fighting? Maybe you mean the one where he helped funnel hungry civilians and children into pens so the IDF could shoot them for sport? These people can and WILL go to hell. Omg
I don’t have an opinion on whether this is good or bad but I will say Portland has more distracted drivers than any other city I’ve ever lived in. Speeding I don’t see, but distraction DAILY
Did I really him say “we’ve never talked about environmental exposures that cause cancer”?!? OMGGGG these people are so so SO stupid—this cannot be reality
In the two months every leap year that she has shit to say about anything I imagine. Lord
Can hardly believe this is real what an absolutely absurd ultimatum. Every great hope people elect to get out of the clutches of conservatives ends up with bullshit like this
It’s a little on-the-nose quixotic
work laptop updated to windows 11 without warning while I was out sick last week and it’s horrendous—it’s about the smallest problem in the world but it enraaaages me to be at the mercy of Microsoft’s random whims, change for the sake of profit and nothing else
Will being defunded by republicans finally disabuse NPR of the idea that accurate reporting is credible evidence of partisan bias? Those people were deported illegally, in flagrant and gleeful violation of court order, and it’s incredible that they won’t plainly say so.
Not much shocks me anymore but this absolute filth has my jaw on the floor. God help us.
Uuuugh AI-splaining can’t even ruin a punchline gross get it out of here
I’m hearing folks start to coalesce around the word “slop” in reference to AI/LLMs and it’s genius—just right.
Just an unimaginable number of unintended devastating consequences to the most vulnerable in our communities. I needed this reminder.
Mothers AND children if we’re being brutally honest will die as a result, never mind all other unnecessary suffering that will occur. Unbelievable cruelty and invasion of privacy.
What the fuck is this. There’s truly SO much to say about Mamdani’s success and THIS is what gets published? Such trash.
He’s got negative charisma—he won’t have the bizarre insulation Trump has had all this time. Will he be shitty? Absolutely, but more easily overcome I have to think
I think if we’ve learned anything in the last six months, Democrats are not ON our team. They’re on their own, and they work very hard to make us think we’re on the same team. We the people would have held anyone accountable but the establishment would never give us the chance
As the aunt of kids with a piece of shit dad, they’ll learn it more keenly than anyone else as they get older with no help from anyone else. These assholes take their family’s good will for granted and it catches up with their children sooner or later, guaranteed
Makes me think of hegseth losing his mind at the easter egg roll in front of his clearly embarrassed kids—so many children of assholes are the first to know it. If they behave so horrifically in public, only imagine how horrible they are to be around in private. Kids learn fast and organically
That’s so well put and exactly true I’m sure—he wants the optics of it. What a horrendous father and human being.
I wish the media would report these kinds of stories with the for-profit prison boom context—they’re being cruel for money as much as for cruelty’s sake—why isn’t this ever part of the story? To be fair I’m not breaching the paywall so maybe it does, but I doubt it
It’s real-life “ok grandpa let’s get you to bed” omg
That’s the thing that pisses me off—people saying “he said only criminals—why is he doing this?” I’m sorry, you thought there were 20 MILLION undocumented rapists and murderers evading arrest in this country? Not sure why democrats never pushed on that logic even once that I saw
I’m sorry, then what the hell were they doing there? Learning more about Puerto Rican history? These people have to be stopped. It’s outrageous
WE KNOW. FROM US. Is there a single media organization who will highlight how that works?
can’t underestimate the threat of a rogue swan paddle boat 🫠🫠🫠
I honestly don’t understand how these grown ass adults can stomach debasing themselves saying such nakedly dumb ass-kissing lies—greed is a powerful drug I guess
What a heinous way to go into Independence Day. I hope people give their reps absolute HELL tomorrow for this
Oh lord there’s golden dome money?? I’m horrified by the ICE $ and was aware but the golden dome thing—talk about waste fraud and abuse, good lord
God forbid it ever gets to the level, but honestly this is correct right? Like the Japanese internment camps were horrifying in their own right, but these look like WAY less humane conditions already. So shameful.
Well well if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions
If they were being honest they’d also admit that it’s worth the 250k bribe in order to maintain the system where whatever you want can be bought despite the will of the people—fuck these people
Your extra context makes a lot of sense—I appreciate it. Hard to catch a tone sometimes and I admit I’m running a little defensive. Thanks for explaining further—I take your point and appreciate it.
It started later in the afternoon, never mind that some of us can work on the go—I was there working on my laptop with the free city hall WiFi when they were discussing items I was less invested in. Participating this way isn’t mutually exclusive from contributing to your community otherwise.
I thought the quote here was altered at the end for comic effect—I can’t believe he literally said we used to have “dumb presidents” like a fucking third grader. I guess recess talk works on MAGA and they’re done talking to the rest of us anymore
Looks like someone just went to staples and poster printed some shitty Facebook post pic—why does it feel like insult to injury that these people are not only evil but SO CRINGE
I think this really must actually be happening a lot more than we know—some wannabes with real weapons grabbing people and bringing them to the ACTUAL authorities, like under-the-table bounty hunters. It’s not something that MIGHT happen—I bet it already IS happening.
I have always imagined some press employee teaching him to do it and he just performs it like the Von Trapp children singing So Long Farewell—what an absolute jackass he is on top of being evil
Fucking DO SOMETHING or get bent and get out of congress! We already KNOW you don’t have votes but my God, THINK for the love of God and do something else! How dare you sit in our faces and read these sterile pre-written press releases. You’re a disgrace.
It would almost be worth the histrionics of their supporters to see someone beat the brakes off some of these vile assholes
AI resistance stuff is an immediate block from me. I hate to see it
They can feel the tide shifting and they’re desperately shooting op-eds off to gain the narrative back. At No Kings in Portland I couldn’t believe I was hearing free free Palestine chants from so many centrist democrat-looking folks
I just heard more of the same, a presenter challenging an LA protestor on why we would protest deporting people “breaking the law”—I almost couldn’t believe what I was hearing, but end of the day they’re a brick in the wall of power as it stands today
God help us
How can they live with how pathetic they are??? It’s honestly the biggest mystery of all this to me—I get being evil, being greedy, but to be this loud about what losers you are??? I’m not even trying to make a joke—where did these people come from??
Don’t forget greed—I’m sure quid pro cuomo is something they all have experience with—I don’t accuse him specifically, just establishment politicians in general. I’ve lost whatever naïveté I had that suggested democrats were less prone—they’re just better at hiding it
One of my most formative school experiences was an 8th gr history weeklong lesson literally just on American apathy as it related to the holocaust. My teacher was deadly serious about impressing it on us and I’m constantly thinking about it today
This is so disingenuous. Not all anti-Zionism involves setting people’ houses on fire. People exercising their right to protest against Zionism with their voices and their bodies is absolutely not inherently antisemitic. This is a horrendous take.
Even if they DID get asked—I honestly believe a scary-large number of them would approve
Weak—keep calling all these people WEAK. They don’t care about being evil obviously, but I KNOW they can’t stand to be called weak. I’ve never heard a word out of this asshole’s mouth that isn’t defensive as hell bc his subconscious knows he’s weak even if his simple mind doesn’t
I almost can’t believe she’s saying it out loud
They’re all such fucking bootlickers—I know the immorality and hypocrisy doesn’t keep them up at night but i would think even the morally bankrupt would have more difficulty humiliating themselves so grossly
I think the reason we’re here is their supporters are just as chickenshit as they are—this kind of weak bullshit is exactly what they’d do in the same position—I keep expecting them to wake up but they’re the same brand of coward so this looks reasonable to them
Wholly fuck these craven opportunists—whatever happens to us and our country, it’s on their heads and people like them
His facial expressions, body language, tone of voice are NAKEDLY insecure. I don’t understand how people even for a second can’t see it. I can’t see anything ELSE
Omg we’re allowed to PERSONALLY CHOOSE not to listen to what we each decide is bullshit—I’m so fucking tired of being accused of “dog-piling” on ideas that many decent people HAPPEN to agree are bullshit—there’s no organized effort to shut these ideas down, they’re just shitty ideas omg
Fuck this goon—why don’t you do something about it then. I feel like everything is a little bit gravy at this point—the pushing either makes them stop or makes them crack down in ways that are more and more impossible for the public to ignore
I can’t understand how there hasn’t been investigative reporting about who these people are yet—if there has been I haven’t seen it
Or describe it as STARING AT THE WALLS omg
Just absolutely fuck these guys. I’m sorry. I’m supposed to feel BAD for you? Your little GI Joe big man spy job is too hard for you?? Cry me a fucking river. GO HOME THEN and let grown ups have their jobs back
Even if he hadn’t blown it recently, this by itself is so demoralizing. For one second could one of these people apply their time and money to do something ACTIONABLE to help
If cancel culture was real no one would have heard this man’s voice ever again after leaving office. GO HOME RAHM
It’s all they do all day and it’s enraging—“I don’t know” is not an acceptable answer for people at our highest level of government—it’s incredible
“Do it the right way” they said. What won’t his supporters co-sign—the goalpost moves at the speed of fucking light
I’d never heard of lawler until 2025 but it takes 2 seconds to clock he’s a craven spineless piece of shit in it for his own enrichment. Sorry to any of you who’ve been stuck with him having voted against him in the past—it’s a shame.
Go home Chuck—no one cares about your performative bullshit anymore
Buckle up 😩
They’re so fucking disrespectful—cherry on top of a shit sundae
This stuff where they’re implementing MORE red tape and requirements but also cutting staff is unbearably dumb and frustrating
And also, WHO was demonstrably harmed by being made to stand 6ft apart? There WAS collateral damage from mitigation strategies, justifiable imo given what we knew and what was available, but what damage did the 6 ft rule cause?? What the hell are we talking about?? I fricken loved the 6ft rule tbh
Critical thinking is dead 😩
It’d be like a kid saying a genocide was happening when his t-ball team lost and calling it “disputed”—it’s journalistic malfeasance and actually almost more alarming to me than the administration saying it in the first place
And if only the media reported it properly—Trump has always found his greatest power in the incredulity of the most powerful forces among us like the media and our current governing bodies—we wouldn’t be here if so many people didn’t constantly disbelieve exactly what he intimated he’d do
Exactly—there’s HUGE overlap that I think a lot of folks who are looking at the Christian right from a further distance wouldn’t know about
Unbelievable but also exactly predictable. Every day another thing to feel speechless about
MORE plausible than the original narrative even
