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."

This should scare and outrage every one of us. We must stand with our neighbors whether we know them personally or not. Find a local immigrant rights group to see how to help.

It’s so horrible - it’s hard to even take in how cruel and hateful this is.

Omg. He’s punishing states now who do mail in voting? How is this man going to be stopped?

I took a break from planning our High Holiday Gatherings (link below if you want to join us) to go to the Dahlia Show. I want to share the beauty with you - It was hard to choose which ones because there were so many beauties. It’s essential to keep seeking beauty in these painful times.

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.

Can someone please explain to me why Trump is against WIND energy? (I’m guessing it’s because he can’t make money off it?)

CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”

Seriously @nytimes.com WTF is this as a headline? “Critics see big risks?” How about telling the truth - “authoritarian continues to fire people illegally & we are in flashing red danger”.

Did you increase your spending last month? No? Me neither. That isn't anecdotal. The underlying numbers don't support this. The source here is the commerce department. I no longer trust the numbers coming out of this regime. I call bullshit! www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/u...

I literally gasped out loud. How is this happening? The masked goons cover their faces in shame because what they are doing is truly shameful. I hope they do not sleep at night. I hope every single member of this admin carries this shame for the rest of their lives
Rabbi Jill Zimmerman (@rabbijill.bsky.social)
It is unconscionable that the GOP refuses to protect children & continues to protect GUN owners. We must collectively vote them out & demand common sense gun laws. Enough already. Enough children dying. Enough of parents being scared to send their kids to school. Enough enough enough.

Unreal. And cruel and so misguided.

I have always believed that Trump is getting all his direction from Russia. That is the only thing that makes sense. Putin is teaching him how to destroy our country from the inside. What could be better for Putin than that?

Let’s just face it. The GOP cares more about guns than they do about children. They care more about power than they do about science, experts & protecting the health of Americans. It’s not only insane, it’s cruel & immoral.

@ludicrouslouisa.bsky.social based on your rec, we watched the movie & loved it. We are still talking about it tonight! Thank you!

As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.
