As I read it, this bill would give a Class D felony to teenagers who make AI slop of their classmates.

If that's true, it's really bad news.

my angry post about this case this morning is now an angry article

Roy Anthony Scott was in a mental health crisis and called 911 asking for help

Cops came and killed him, & now the Court is casting doubt on whether the cops can be held accountable for his death

So many new resources for local police to support the violent attacks on immigrants

Joe Biden threw unprecedented amounts of money at police. More than TWICE what Obama gave them in the wake of the GFC.

Every major police union endorsed Donald Trump.

Kamala Harris was a former prosecutor and Attorney General, she had a Sheriff featured as a convention speaker. Every major police union endorsed Donald Trump.

Ignoring this is also contributes to people being able to float the idea the problem with the opposition to Trump is an unwillingness to exclusively call people “inmates”

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

Cinco de Mayo parade in Little Village canceled for second year as immigration enforcement concerns persist The parade typically draws hundreds to Little Village to celebrate Mexico's victory over Napoleon III’s French army in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. But the parade was canceled this year as the Trump ...

"For the second year in a row, the annual Cinco de Mayo parade in Little Village has been canceled due to immigration enforcement concerns, organizers said."

"People are still avoiding public gatherings out of fear, organizers said, adding, “there is nothing to celebrate.”

I try to spend money in Pilsen and Little Village whenever I can, and both neighborhoods feel so, so different from just two years ago

The question is how much did Lori Chavez-DeRemer bet on the timing of her resignation?

as the kids say, nightmare blunt rotation, but literally this time

one difference: endgame for one is to abandon it; endgame for the other, decidedly not

but yes, largely accurate otherwise and being honest about this is useful (but very hard due to propaganda about imaginary farms)

Go ahead and save this post, I don't plan to ever run for office in Illinois 😛

We came. We saw. We lobbied.

We drove down to Springfield to engage our legislators to close corporate tax loopholes and raise revenue for education, health care, criminal justice reform, and environmental justice.

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016

wonder if something happened then?

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.

Ah yes I have complained of this before 🧵

☝️it's this, over and over, punctuated by weeks-long backup document waits and 45-minute hold times to try to prove to a human, only sometimes successfully, that you are entitled to them

"Oh, an annual SocSec statement can satisfy Group B and C identification docs!"

*...fruitlessly look through paper files...*

*Find email from May 2025*

"Now that you can access your Statement instantly and anytime online, we will not automatically send one by mail"

If there is one piece of advice I could give anyone responsible for a disabled person, it is:

never ever ever ever let their ID expire, which is very easy to do if someone never uses it

You can get a homebound IL state ID...with fed docs accessible via online portal requiring valid state ID

Etc.

Tesla Chicago Gold Coast Permanently closed

Hang it in the Louvre

We won.

Tesla Chicago is closed.

Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability.

Organizing works.
