Veterans speak out against proposed deployment of National Guard in Chicago - Chicago Sun-Times share.google/ld2vNMLG84fF...
Attention attorneys in cities where the National Guard has been deployed: Advertise for your National Guard clients who were deceived into following unlawful or unconstitutional orders. You can thank me later...
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
America heartbroken to discover president somehow still alive
Russia, China, and India are getting together and sharing laughs and making big plans It’s not funny to the rest of the world but only a handful of us are paying any attention.
Just one more episode, then I’ll go to bed. Unless this is the last episode of the season or the first ep of the next season or the series finale.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Of course he would pick another cho-mo.
I’ll take, “We backed the-f-up from Venezuela” for $500 Alex.
We all have a slight interest in watching a shit show.
RFK Jr. is announcing POTUS was his first and only patient.
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
Too much self-control, not enough exclamation points.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
BOOM! 🤣🤣
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
MSAGA? Is he trying to Make South America Great Again?
MAGA had to get par somehow today, on or off the course. Puns intended.
“woke” does NOT = anything you disagree with or don’t like “woke” = social justice for minorities An end to social justice (wokeness) would disrupt the economy, breakdown social cohesion, & unravel institutional protections for all Americans. Which is already happening.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Jennifer Welch broke down how the MAGA agenda has "hurt" those in red states like hers.
The only reason is the color of their skin, and warrants and laws have no meaning anymore. Trump intends to remove every non-white person from the USA, but when he realizes deportation isn't viable, what then? We know what Hitlers solution was.
The gravity of the holocaust hit me full force when I entered the “shoe room” at the DC Holocaust Museum. This picture needs to go viral.
This makes my blood boil.😡
‼️‼️
What’s on the backside of this hostile government take over has nothing to do with christianity and everything to do with MONEY. These GODLESS men are bowing to a false prophet.
This isn’t BtVS, JD. You & your boss are RAPISTS. There will never be an invitation & you will never ask for CONSENT. Forcing yourselves on others as if they want IT is textbook sexual PREDATOR behavior.

Trump told Mike Johnson he won’t be spending $4.9B in congressionally approved foreign aid. He's cutting the budget without going through legislative branch. He's doing it by using a pocket rescission, informing them near end of fiscal year, so Congress can't act on it in the 45-day timeframe.
In case you forgot, we are all just marionettes in this POS administration’s psychological warfare.
Now she can hire a security team that isn’t beholden to a dictator.

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
ATTN people who believe RFK Jr: You’re no longer allowed within 100 feet of me. I have sworn out a lifetime restraining order on dumb fcks. I will be armed w/ a spray bottle of bleach; the nozzle set to stream. Any suss behavior will be considered hostile. Note, I always aim for the eyes first.
Constantly amazed by the compassion people show! 💜
This makes my blood boil. These nasty effrs will rot in hell for what they are doing. 🤬
Don’t look away
Put me on the pick up list.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
Shortly after Trump met with Putin in Alaska, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard abruptly ousted a CIA expert who had helped brief Trump’s team in the lead-up to the meeting. By naming this person in a memo, Gabbard appears to have identified a CIA officer who was operating under cover.
“It feels like the CDC is over.” Current and former CDC officials say that the departure of several top leaders will further undermine the agency’s ability to provide reliable guidance to Americans, Tom Bartlett reports.
The Toronto Blue Jays held a moment of silence prior to the start of tonight’s baseball game vs the Minnesota Twins. Canada is a good friend. 🇨🇦
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
A top CDC official shared a scathing resignation post tonight in which he accused HHS chief Robert Kennedy of ignoring experts and said recent policy changes threatened lives.
Why of course, this is what good Christian Nationalists do for people in need.

What an unbelievably stupid time to be alive.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

You’re welcome. Last comment, a 10yr moratorium on creating federal AI laws is exactly what big tech wants & the Big Cheese. The opportunity to make mega $$$ by using human subjects as their test bed.
Look at laws in the EU or Switzerland to see where the U.S. should be aiming, especially for user privacy and human rights. For surveillance and censorship, look at China or Iran. Side note, Country music singer Lainey Wilson testified before Congress on AI dangers. Martina McBride on deepfake.
There are no Federal AI laws & few state & local laws. The House approved a 10 yr moratorium on AI laws bill in May, if it passes the Senate it will keep states from creating laws until federal laws are established. NCSL follows state legislation: www.ncsl.org/technology-a...
Breaking: Democrat Catelin Drey just won an Iowa Senate district that Trump won by double digits last year, flipping the seat blue. Republican just lost their supermajority in the chamber.
Mysteriously? Do you understand design, programming, DevOps? OpenAI is responsible. They designed & programmed their AI client. They have guidelines & tests before a product launches. Obviously not good ones. Laws are made by the legislature & enforced by DOJ (both questionable since Jan 2025).
“AI kills people” is the equivalent of “Guns kill people.” It’s OpenAI’s poor design and lack of safety & quality control in programming that kills people. It’s failed/non-existance of laws governing all AI developers that wreaks havoc otherwise.
Witkoff sounded like he was choking on a dick while trying to speak. 🤮🤮🤮
The U.S. is prime for an attack from a foreign adversary that hasn’t bent the knee.
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
I can’t believe you’re trying to give that THING to good people? It’s like a tote, if a tote gave up on its dreams. No brand, no size, no dignity - just like a clearance bin’s unwanted stepchild.
Class action suit anyone?
Class action suit?
Class action suit?
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
He's not even trying to mask his intent.
BREAKING: VETERAN'S BEGIN A SIT-IN IN WASHINGTON DC AND WON'T STOP UNTIL THE MILITARY LEAVES TOWN
It’s now or never, everyone must take a stance. If you have any influence or ability to stop or interrupt these actions, take it, do it, whatever it takes. Don’t let it just pass by PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING!
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
“Elon Musk's xAl is constructing one of the world's largest Al supercenters in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. This mirrors a long history of environmental racism where polluting industries and hazardous developments are placed in communities with the least political and financial power.” 🧵
You need to be able to understand the statistics to properly cite facts. 65% of military voters polled is not the same as 65% of the military. Only 12% of the people who voted in the election were military. 88% of people polled weren’t affiliated w/ the military.
I think you have convinced yourself you know it all even though you have NEVER been in their situation.
It’s spreading.
Are you in the military or a veteran?
I see a “D” encampment. It houses non-elected Democrats looking for an angle to profit from this situation, a marketplace you will.
Don’t turn on them please. Obeying orders is paramount & could jepardize their livelihood. Put yourself in their boots. Deploying them to U.S. cities is the problem. They aren’t trained for civilian crowd control.
NYC — This Do Not Turn On Us webinar tomorrow (8/24) is a great way to get prepared for the National Guard being deployed to our city. Register here: bit.ly/oath0824

"Companies were reluctant to pass price hikes into stores, because they didn't want to make customers mad and lose market share. It's only now really sinking in that this is for real, and so the 'let's eat the tariffs for a while' thing is fading out." — @pkrugman.bsky.social
The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families. We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

Excellent!
I like what Newsom is doing. I like what Pritzker is doing. I like what Mamdani is doing. We need all hands on deck NOW. We can worry about the presidential race LATER. Once we secure its relevance.
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
CHICAGO — With the news that the Trump regime plans to deploy the military to the city—against the wishes of Pritzker and the people of Illinois—consider joining this webinar Sunday (8/24) at 5 PM ET to learn how you can help remind military members to honor their oaths. Register at bit.ly/oath0824
🤣🤣🤣 Yes!
BOOM! ❤️ It Ain’t nobody gonna break my stride, ain’t nobody gonna hold me down.
It’s going to take more than looking to democrats in congress for help. This should have been stopped last Nov. If anything is to be salvaged of democracy, a REAL group of nationwide resistors will have to be formed to fight back.
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
He can’t even “crush” a soda can. Have yall watched and listened to his low-energy rambling? He is in serious decline.
Abso-effn-lutely! Children are not able to give consent.
Why does he always appear like he’s holding back farts?
The Epstein Files have NOT been released. Only one sided propaganda to bolster support for the idiot lining the White House w/ gaudy axx gold.
"There are so many things that offend them," Jonathan Capehart said.
