A thought: People who don’t support unions should have to work on Labor Day.
Brilliant marketing.
Congratulations, professor!
WTF??
Fucking weirdos. Cults are fascinating things.
The framing of the question assumes the reason they are there is to fight crime. It also assumes that deploying the military to the streets of American cities is somehow warranted and justifiable even without civil disobedience and against the wishes of state/local government. That’s wild.
Nah. It still has meaning. It’s just that right wingers are trying to dilute the term that best describes their belief framework. youtu.be/olObgYm8jhw?...
Believe me, I would *love* to have civilized political debates with people whose views opposed mine, if we could scare up any opposing views that are actually civilized. But my opposition is unhinged stuff like "Whites only" and "vaccines are a conspiracy," so yeah, weirdly, I'm not up for a chat.
I guess ‘from the river to the sea’ is only a terrorist sentiment if you’re not Likud or in the Trump administration. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Says the guy representing the regime working really hard to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, an inanimate object.
Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?
Another record-breaking year for tourism, but these numbers represent more than just statistics: they signify jobs, local economic growth, and lifelong memories created in the Middle of Everything. Illinois is proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
Started to give Zack Snyder’s Justice League another chance. Didn’t make it past the opening credits. Seriously. I’d forgotten how indulgent the whole thing is. The silly aspect ratio. The desaturated color grading. The high contrast. It’s just a lot.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov We good in Illinois, guv?
I invented the comma.
America’s biggest sin was slavery and the unrepentant racism used to justify and protect it. The racism part continues to infect us. www.cbsnews.com/news/patrick...
What a ridiculous little man.
The weakest man on Earth.
World’s foremost expert on public health…
Ambition over truth.

Their mediocrity is never their fault. It’s always a conspiracy.
Stop it, Talib. He knows a lot of things. His family ran a federal headquarters. LOL 😏
Every time I think about our right wing SCOTUS as a backstop for right wing policies that will alter this nation for a generation… it pisses me off even more that some folks just couldn’t pull the lever for HRC.
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.
It’s not even been a year yet, folks.
It’s really important to note he was a black officer.
Those children were shot while literally praying.
We didn’t punish the South hard enough. Not nearly hard enough.
Horrible people make for horrible politicians. Without fail.
Traitor.
I consider myself a sincere supporter of trans rights and am fortunate to have friends in the trans community. But here’s a truth we need to come to grips with: we need a way to talk to people/voters like my rural, white father-in-law who doesn’t get it at all and watches Fox all day.
But your god wasn’t listening to the parents who pray constantly for their children’s safety. Cool god you have there.
A metal detector to find what, exactly?
Wow. These fuckers.
Keep in mind that the same mainstream press that has misplaced its spine regarding Trump’s fascism will demand you respect their credibility when they relentlessly attack a Democrat president in the future for the slightest of missteps.
Remember earlier when they were literally calling it a blood libel to suggest Israel would ever bomb a hospital and now the only ambiguity is how many times they bombed one
FT printing wish MAGA fulfillment now.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
President superlative.
Holy hell. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Big Tech is as complicit as the mainstream media in hand-holding fascism. None of these billionaires are our friends.
Wow.
“Aims high” is an interesting way to describe fascism. www.cnn.com/2025/08/27/p...
A confederation of betas.
Targeted them with *what* exactly, Kristi?
Democrats like @mayorbowser.bsky.social continue to fail this historic moment. Fuck. This is deeply disappointing. Who would have thought we’d just hand the nation over to such an unserious clown and his racist hoard.
Imagine if companies invested these kind of resources in the workers who powered the monumental gains in productivity and profit over the past couple of decades.
The absolute dumbest and cruelest thing you could say to parents who just lost a child.
They want no watchers watching the watchers.
By promising to redeem the pride and protect the culture of a people felt put upon by outside influences he was held as a necessary savior by the people. Those in charge of the machinery underestimated the power of that promise.
Correct. This is the fear that drives redistricting.
Simultaneously a disgusting antisemite and a contemptible Islamophobe.
BREAKING: Denmark summons top U.S. diplomat after the national broadcaster reported that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland.
If yesterday’s three hour cult of personality cabinet meeting isn’t being relentlessly and viciously critiqued in your current news sources of choice then you need news sources. Yours are complicit with fascism. @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com @abcnews.bsky.social @npr.org @reuters.com @nytimes.com
Stop it. You’re reinforcing this nonsensical myth. Republicans/conservatives never hated “big government.” They hated the federal government telling them to stop being racists in daily life at the state level.
Why is Trump sending armed troops into cities with highly diverse populations? He’s desperately looking for his own Reichstag Fire. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/true...
“If”? This is the silliest timeline.
I’ve never gone into a #CrackerBarrel. Nothing about the logo or the image of the country store spoke to me.
Laws don’t matter.
Cult shit.
I stand firm that Fox’s 2008-2013 TV show #Fringe continues to be one of the very best #SciFi shows of all time. The story was complex and challenging. The acting was sublime, with many characters playing different versions of themselves. And they stuck the landing. Watch it if you haven’t.
I’m sure this sounded cogent in your head but I have no idea of the point you’re trying to make here. Maybe take a nap and try again.
He’s fucking insane. Why are people treating him as if he is not?! It drives me mad.
I just finished ‘Chain-Gang All-Stars’ by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah and, while it was very insightful commentary on the prison-industrial complex, hyper-consumerism, race/gender, etc., I didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped to. Too many perspectives. Too many side quests. #Booksky #BlackSky
Trump and his ilk definitely want an all white America, but they will settle for an America where everyone behaves, thinks, and feels like white people do in America. They see difference as the thing hurting America. And if everyone would just be MORE white the country would be better.
The @democrats.org party feels Like a middle aged guy talking to his tween daughter in order to memorize some cool, hip words to use during career day at school. Blatant inauthenticity covering for a complete lack of connection and understanding. #Democrats #Politics #2026Midterms
Hey, ignorant. How leaders use the military is completely different than the dedication it takes to serve. Go be ungrateful for your freedoms someplace else, child.
You’re a childish idiot. I voted against fascism in America. I voted to protect the vulnerable in this country. The genocide continues with your guy Trump in place, you ignorant fuck.
Good night, Bluesky.
Ouch.
Love that! Stunning.
We cannot stand idly by or remain silent. This is a time that demands we use our collective power against this hostile authoritarian regime. bit.ly/47pXvAD
These people are children.
It’s not even certain he can fire her. But don’t let facts get in the way of a great headline.
Just received this statement from Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
Yes… because it’s not insane hyperbole at all to compare the Holocaust to some National Guardsmen strolling around DC. Jesus Christ. It’s no wonder that half of America think we liberals are fucking snowflakes.
You should join. Then quit to demonstrate your moral superiority.
Sure. Go touch grass, idiot.
Good to see. I’ve been killed at least twice in DC.
Unconstitutional.
We are rapidly escalating towards a tipping point where I would not be at all surprised to wake up to a US military leader launching a coup to remove Trump. We are at that wild ass unprecedented point in history. Nothing would surprise me.
What is DD?
What a fucking question. Which sycophantic piece of shit asked that?
Me too. They shouldn’t be there. I’m hoping the federal case provides some clarity. That is different than vilifying guardsmen who likely don’t want to be there.
The jury is out. We really have to return to being the party of facts over feelings. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...
