"This is an important thing to think about."

What a powerful statement journalists would make if they didn't show up

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

Any chance of introducing resolutions to stop any of the other bs? Take your pick - secret police, corruption, executive power grab, murders of boaters, threats to S.S. and Medicare, etc., etc.?

Correction: Republican lawmakers are willing to hold Democrats accountable. Period.

“I don’t do politics”

Ok, well you’re a fully grown adult so maybe it’s time to start.

Magyar won with an emphasis on corruption and the rule of law. Good lessons. It wasn't just "we will improve the economy". It was "these people are stealing from you and we will put them in jail."

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

"What do you want him to do?"

This. This is where you start. You start with this and you go forward from there.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Installation with thousands of paper numbers creating a large passge in rainbow colours

Exactly. The whole thought process is so weird. just cooked brains all the way down. How are they going to “optimize” the feeling of joy that you have when you think of something cool and chase it like a dog chasing a frisbee?? that’s not a thing for which I need … efficiency???? ?

I want more Dems talking about Nuremberg 2.0, but even more I want them drafting model legislation for it that we can use for the midterms and 2028.

Show us you mean it. Write it up. Let us demand every single candidate vote for it.

(also, we need lustration. transitional justice and lustration.)

This 💯

Matters to me

if you don’t like the process of writing then don’t be a fucking writer, it’s not that complicated

Ban concentration camps period

Stars and Stripes reported a while ago that ICE was given "old" Apache helicopters. Expect to see more.

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Other way to read it is that he's working with Iran and Russia to destabilize the middle east
