I hope you'll be able to cross over the border and get it too.
Please please please, JB, do this!!! --signed an Illinois resident.
And youth voters had a lot to do with Biden's 7 million vote margin in 2020.
Ironic, Karmic, I'm good either way.
Agree.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
All due respect...they were selling out huge stadiums in 1984. I know because I attended Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, at the time the biggest venue. Are you sure you didn't see them earlier?
PERFECT gif. Also I love that movie.
We definitely assume nothing. After all, we are not Republicans. We live on truth and facts and evidence.
No, no, Satan is his current lover!! Don't you watch South Park?!!
I concur.
Ikr?
God bless indies in general! My kid is learning this lesson firsthand as she's become a genius at locating the indie record stores that apparently exist thanks to the resurgence amongst Z-ers to vinyl.

My last trip to SoCal, I was shocked after being away for so many years it did feel immediately like home again.❤️
smh
SAME.
"spending the day at his golf course" Photographic evidence, please?
I thought of that too. And as he's a native New Yorker, he REALLY hates to miss out on any 9/11 events.
You're absolutely right to point that out! The huge shift in margins matters, and does indicate fundamental shifts overall coming.
Same. Also, your reply has earned you a Follow from me.
That earns you a Follow!
Yes it was you! Glad you saw my post. Oh...this is going to be the WORST year for any COVID vaccines. I had to tap dance a little to get one for my 21 yo before college...wouldn't have needed to any previous year.
Great! /s
We talk with them, we gently confront them, IRL.
That's because you have common sense and good values.
She is!
I remember watching Girls on Film by Duran Duran with my fellow 90s enlightened college friends--we all loved DD when we were younger. We were all rather horrified by some racist and sexist shit in the video that hadn't jumped out during the 80s.
You are definitely not alone, plenty of Boomers have also gotten screwed with the Reagan Revolution policies we've all been subjected to since 1981...but the % of Boomers who are financially comfortable is WAY higher than the % of either Millenials or Z-ers.
As many people as can possibly attend protests should! Including any non-Boomers.
Which explains why Heather Cox Richardson noted the other day that a year ago, the "re up" rate of the Natl Guard was over 60% Now, it's 20%. It's almost like people don't like getting treated like shit.
I'm sure they're thinking "as long as it takes."
🤮
This monster has and is continuing to hurt millions of innocent people. Who better to kick when they're down than a sadistic psychopath?
😂😂😂
Isn't Shor the dumbass who advised Kamala to drop "weird" and chase after 3 flippable suburban Republican white women? Yeah, I thought so.
Just saw a video by @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social going through this entire thread as well, very comprehensive.
More mouth gape, more evidence of strokes
Wow. I'm under 65. Dang, I knew crime was way down compared to when I was a kid, but this is even more impressive. Also...STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY CITY, CHEETO!
True, Vance won't appeal to MAGA, but Thiel won't either. And some expert in authoritarianism said a few months back that authoritarian regimes start because initially they are popular. Cheeto has his weird charisma, the others, bupkis.
A doctor was saying last week that if Trump is sick (specifically with heart issues) he will golf a lot less than he usually does, because even a leisurely round taxes the heart quite a bit. If Trump is now staging no-golf trips to his golf club, that’s the reddest flag I’ve seen yet.
The main reason to read the replies even more than Ron's post...they are hilarious! And hope inducing. And will make you realize we are so NOT alone.
Yes! --signed a Gen X-er who has the perspective in the middle between Boomers and Millenials.
Yes. I appreciate the Boomers who are turning out for these protests, but I also appreciate Boomers have the time & the ability to afford to do so. Millenials and Z-ers are working so many part time jobs to afford basic rent & student loan payments. --signed Gen X, who can see how hard it is.
We welcome you.
Thought about wandering outside Soldier Field to hear that show, $200 to sit in the far back was a bit steep.
We take care of business here in Chicago.
I returned. Ofc I returned thanks to the Great Recession which was caused by the worst president in American history, W. How innocent we were to think he would give up that title to Cheeto.
This.
Thanks, I hadn't heard of them either, I'm Following them now!!
Awww. Thanks! --signed, a native Chicagoan who is back again for years now after nearly 2 decades in L.A. which I also loved who is aware I still need my "New York period" because I freaking love NYC.
#ETTD As true today as it was in his 1st term.
Just had nice chat with coworker of my late husband. He finally got his passport after it lapsed years ago...but I told him, "Trying to get back IN to your own nation could be a nightmare."
Actually...it's not unbelievable. It's so totally THEM. They really feel entitled to everything everything EVERYTHING. Like bratty children. Like Veruca Salt.
Exactly. Cheeto ONLY gets away with shit like he does because he is the leader of a cult, and no cult leader lasts unless they have some charisma, even if that charisma is a mystery to normal folk. But Cheeto had a long running t.v. show. So, he definitely has that Q factor.
Spot on.
She's perfect!
Exactly. There are worse things happening, but, these "small" things shouldn't be happening either and we need to call this out too.
Thx for the info.
smdh Also, I don't blame them one bit.
Heather Cox Richardson did a video like 2 days ago. The re-up rate of National Guardsmen early 2024 was 60%. The last one? 21% Idk how they'll vote...but they're definitely NOT signing up. Which, when we have a REAL emergency, means we're in trouble.
Well, that was an excellent dry run for the actual event. 🍾
Pretty much
NO! Actually, the fact it's down to 76% of Republicans is a GOOD sign. At the start, he had like 92% of Republican support. Just a couple of weeks ago, it was down to 83% If it's at 76%...it is headed in the RIGHT direction😁
🙏
That's down from 29% like a week ago.
Saw a Heather Cox Richardson video in the last few days. She said, like in early 2024?, National Guard members re-signing up was like 60%. She said the most recent re-up? 21% Damn right they're pissed.
And we must call them out on it, each and every time.
F**king tariffs. This is small compared to other b.s consequences, but it's illustrative. My kid ordered some rare plushie from Japan. I'm in Chicago. This used to be an easy & efficient purchase & delivery. BUT, thx to tariffs, item is MIA amongst the quagmire.
Who was bringing up to me the other day about Novavax? Here's some info!
💯
Ooooh! I like the sound of that! It's Karmic.
What is this?
In the future, they will be touted as the heroes that they are.
For the record
I was just going to say, isn't Florida already gerrymandered to the teeth?
😂😂😂 --signed, someone who lived in L.A. for nearly 2 decades and visited SF multiple times...so I know what you wrote is TRUE. (Earns you a Follow.)
You're lucky you haven't had to deal with a number of narcissists in your life before now.
Why so many days away?
Yes, I can vouch that this is all true, the homeless people, the voting Dem.
Props to you: even as a child, you already felt a moral responsibility to BEAR WITNESS, even when it was painful.
To me, he was JUST LIKE ME (a white girl.)
Agree. I remember as a little kid loving the book The Snowy Day. To me, the kid was just like me! He lived in an apartment in a big city, he was close to his mom, he loved snow!! It wasn't til I took a class in college, I learned the book was cutting edge cuz the main character was black.
😆 🔥 some beautiful, creative resistance
I hear you. I'm back in my hometown of Chicago. I lived nearly 2 decades in Los Angeles. I have yet to have my "New York period" of my life. If starting that means I get to vote for Zohran, yay.
I agree. which is why the hand wringers who say his being a democratic socialist will cost us seats are just wrong...people are fed up and open to daring ideas.
A woman at my Whole Foods was also wearing an N95 Aura like I was. We had a friendly chat.
Ikr? Also, it doesn't matter if the vaccine is formulated to just the right variant--although ofc I get all the vaccines because it's about bettering your odds/Swiss Cheese Model of mitigation--the mask blocks them ALL.
It's people like you, and LBJ, and Ann Richards, and many others that lets me know Texas is full of beautiful souls and I'll be so happy when you finally wrest control from these a**holes.
Amen
It is better to give than to receive. Also...Karma is real.

Yep, Chicagoland to be exact. I've seen very few masks for a couple of months...which is why it stood out to me to see a shift the last couple of days.
Thanks for reporting that about SoCal. it's nice to hear if ever I get to move back, there's the same number of sensible people there as Chicagoland. I hope we get to HEAR about the Novavax booster. Info is so screwed up now.
👍
Oh yeah. Nevada was red hot a few weeks ago, last week it was all of Texas the coast of California, with Alabama and Florida coming up close behind.
Vindictive prick for AG 2028!
Exactly!
As an Italian-American, so I heard stuff about the Mafia others perhaps do not...I can vouch for Stuart Stevens' point: there were RULES with Mafia lawyers. Protecting child sex traffickers was NOT okay.
