People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

David Cross folks.

The other interesting thing about this clip is how outraged Kirk is that anyone would blame Republicans generally for the act of a single deranged individual just because they routinely said terrible things about Pelosi. What a concept.

Technologically advance a band:

The B-2s

Some guy named Donald Trump, October 2024.

Note that neither President Biden nor any Democratic politicians called for Kirk to suffer any consequences for using his First Amendment rights this way in 2024. That was the right thing to do. Will this administration follow that precedent? bsky.app/profile/pale...

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

It would kinda help encourage foreign experts to come to the US if they weren’t afraid of being fucking kidnapped by masked secret police.

Your reminder that we don’t even know who wrote this crap because my former employer no longer says who is on its editorial board. And if you ask its AI helper, it lists seven people, three of whom have left and one of whom is semi-retired and lives in Hong Kong.

Trump, apparently misled by video of 2020 protests, threatens to send troops to Portland US president mistakes scale of anti-Ice rallies after TV report uses old footage from George Floyd demonstrations

It will never not be shocking that the person with perhaps the greatest access to true information about the world in human history is this fucken stupid

Trump says "bad, sick" Democrats could have doctored the Epstein files to make him look bad. Great logic by Cheetolini. He's suggesting the Dems framed him, but forgot to release the dirt, let him win the election, and then quietly turned over the Epstein files to him.

So... you knew what was happening on the island and didn't alert authorities?

Used cars are cheap because of new cars. Day-old bread it half price because of fresh bread.

This has been a housing policy post.

A reprieve for the USPS trucks:

The Senate parliamentarian ruled overnight that this provision violates the rules of budget reconciliation

Medicaid Work Requirements Have Mostly Failed. The GOP Is Still Pushing Them. President Trump’s tax-and-spending bill aims to require many Americans to work to collect Medicaid. Similar efforts in Georgia and Arkansas have largely fallen flat.

Asked if the Trump admin will comply with Judge Farbiarz’s order to release Mahmoud Khalil, a DHS spokeswoman says, “An immigration judge, not a district judge, has the authority to decide if Mr. Khalil should be released or detained.”

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
