SO SAD! CHICAGO'S "HERO" MAYOR JOHNSON JUST TOLD DONNY FASCISTPANTS TO STICK HIS POLICE STATE WHERE THE SUN "DON'T SHINE"! JOHNSON WON'T COMPLY WITH SMELLY DICTATOR DONNY. BOO HOO HOO! MANY ARE THANKING YOUR FAVORITE WRITER, JEFF TIEDRICH (ME!) FOR HIS POST ABOUT IT, WHICH IS HERE —> bit.ly/4lTj5kq

the poet Carl Sandburg famously described Chicago as the ‘City of the Big Shoulders.’ he also called it ‘Hog Butcher for the World, Tool maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation’s Freight Handler.’ if old Carl were writing that poem today, he’d have to add a new line — because Chicago has now become the City of Go Fuck Yourself, Donny Convict. oh look — America’s Mad King isn’t the only person who gets to sign executive orders. The mayor of Chicago has signed an order detailing how the city will resist a potential immigration crackdown threatened by the Trump administration. “We do not need nor want an unconstitutional and illegal military occupation of our city,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat. The order directs city agencies on how to respond to possible immigration enforcement actions. do not fuck with the Hog Butcher for the World, Donny. they’re busy Stacking Wheat and Making Tools. they don’t have time for your fascist bullshit. good for the mayor. he’s making plans. he sees what’s going on in DC, and what went on in Los Angeles, and he’s getting all proactive. most importantly, Mayor Johnson has ordered the Chicago Police Department not to aid and abet Donny’s storm troopers.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

Did you know that the ICE detention center in Newark was opened without permission from the city & in violation of state law? Mayor Baraka has been fighting to close it down. Repost this to THANK Mayor Baraka! #FreeBaraka #RasBaraka

Statement by Governor Phil Murphy on the Arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. Over the past few months, Mayor Baraka, as well as advocates, faith leaders, and members of our Congressional delegation, have protested the opening of a private immigration detention center in the city of Newark. Four years ago, I was proud to sign a law banning private immigration detention centers in New Jersey. And just last week, my Administration was leading the fight to defend that law before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Mayor Baraka is an exemplary public servant who has always stood up for our most vulnerable neighbors. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Nobody tell him

I’m still trying to take it all in! The election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV was an extraordinary and delightful surprise. I was one of the many commentators who said that the choice of an American as Pope was an impossibility (or at least extreme improbability). I took my cue from the late Cardinal George who said that there would never be an American Pope until our country went into political decline. But the Cardinal electors obviously felt otherwise. I am very intrigued by the new Pope’s choice of regnal name. Leo XIII has long been one of my papal heroes. He not only inaugurated the modern social teaching tradition of the Church, but he also gave rise to the revival of Thomistic thought as a means of creative engagement with the contemporary world. There is actually much in Leo’s teaching that would appeal to both liberals and conservatives today, and this might signal how this new Leo will function as a bridge. And he’s a Chicagoan! Ad multos annos, Pope Leo.

This reminds me of John Doar's meeting with Freedom Summer volunteers before they went down to Mississippi. He sympathized with the work but told them, accurately, that the federal government couldn't protect them and they were on their own. Some were furious; others appreciated the straight talk.

That didn’t take long. “We’re not sure exactly what happened,” but Ukraine.

While SpaceX falters, Tesla crashes, Twitter has a global outage, and Washington grows weary of Musk's ongoing crime spree and attack on the federal government, the dude finds time to call a decorated American hero a traitor for standing up for Ukraine and our European allies.

Musk pointedly doesn't say he is a traitor to the United States. My guess is he means traitor to the international organized crime syndicate that has long governed Russia.

YES! And I fear the intent is identical. Deceive millions until they lose faith in the system and decide it’s better to do away with it. Keep the money for themselves while disfavored people pound sand. www.offmessage.net/p/trumps-las...

If the republic survives and we're lucky enough to have a non-game show host president with a sane Congress, Roberts needs to be impeached. The whole court, actually.

Trump just stood up in front of Congress and announced Elon Musk is in charge of DOGE, which directly contradicts the government's representations in court. @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

All accusations are confessions with these people. They have to believe that none of these protestors actually care deeply about their country because they themselves do not.

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

So asking if people would kindly use more inclusive language is the same as dismantling the administrative state based on a ctrl-f for their buzzwords? Cool. There's no horror the right can wrought that the so called liberal media won't contort itself to blame on the left.

This is likely our fate. Deepfake technology will advance to the point where we will have a King Donald for years to come. Even if he's clearly dead. With all the lies this country already accepts, believing the president is alive and holding office at 90+ years old in his 5th term is feasible.

The first three are what they already do but since most of the country only sees the Democrats from right-wing media, it will not be seen. 5th one is why Biden/Kamala lost, accepting right-wing framing uncritically ie Afghan withdrawal and the economy. Opting to lose harder is not a strategy.
