In the United States, women and children have fewer rights than guns do.

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.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.

The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.

Update: over did it! Can never win when you’re chronic, but me ambitious nature is iconic. Time for a horror movie based on the pied piper and some cross stitch. #sundayscaries #chronicillness

Being a Missourian is tough when you’ve got a grade A bullshiiting pain in the ass like Schmitt. Have at him. Be my guest. #neverschmitt #neverhawleyeither

Meds did their job this morning, so I cleaned the base boards and swept and mopped! Let’s hope I didn’t overdo it! #chronicillness #fibro #saturdaymorningchores

None of this is normal - all the way down to him crashing out and expelling the most unhinged verbal diarrhea so we all know exactly how unstable he is.

Ceasefire’s going about as well as a Trump casino. I seem to remember Kamala Harris saying something about dictators eating Trump for lunch. They sure chewed him up and spit him out on this one. Art of the deal, indeed.

Before Trump's still-unjustified war with Iran, Iran was getting *less money* per barrel of oil it sold, and Iran wasn’t getting $2 million for each ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

So Trump’s war has been a gift to Iran. Donald is smart that way.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

I hate it here. #fuckdjt

Watching horror movies and cuddling with one of my big ol’ attention-seeking doodles. It helps to recharge when the world is on fire with the people in charge running it into the ground. #fuckdjt #reaist #recharge #dogsarethebesr

Great speech, dude.

Build child care centers.

Build health centers.

Build community centers.

Not data centers.

And not ICE detention centers.

This is bull. Our health care (or lack there of) is already a joke. And now they want to take what we actually do have and put it towards this dumb-ever war? STOP. IT. #resist #fdjt

1 out of every 50 people in the U.S. attended a No Kings protest

Consider this: In a nation with a population approaching 349 million, the participation of 8 million people means that more than one of every 50 U.S. residents joined a No Kings rally.

Stat seen on @usatoday.com

We’re happy to report the total count is now up to 8.1 million and still growing.

Stand Up for Science did a virtual accessible rally with over 7K participants - it’s just a drop in the bucket, but should definitely count if you haven’t added us in! @standupforscience.net

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Black graphic with text "KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets for No Kings protests today, know your rights.
