Governor JB Pritzker joined elected officials, business, faith, and education leaders, community advocates, and law enforcement leaders to condemn the Trump administration’s plan to deploy the National Guard or active duty military in Chicago despite objections from state and local leadership.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.
Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.
There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
Jack White is a badass.

“Sharing is not simply about morality, but also about pleasure. Solitary pleasures will always exist, but for most human beings, the most pleasurable activities almost always involve sharing something: music, food, liquor, drugs, gossip, drama, beds. There is a certain communism of the senses at the root of most things we consider fun.” — David Graeber
Sharing and helping others makes life more fun.

For today and everyday.
Trump’s Tax Scam now heads back to the House, where Republicans can only afford to lose 3 votes. The bill barely squeaked by with a single-vote margin the first time, and it’s only gotten more divisive since.
Anyone who tells you this is a done deal doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about.
More and more I understand this moment as reverse Reconstruction.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor is summarizing her dissent: “The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort.”
27.06.2025 14:40 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0We need to fight for leadership who isn’t afraid to call out the fact that everything touched by these so called conservatives is all at the service of the most corrupt, contemptible people. The Supreme Court has historically served the rich and the powerful. This just continues that tradition.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Federal Judge Breyer rules that Trump's federalization of the California National Guard was ILLEGAL and orders control of the Guard be RETURNED to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Reading through the comments on this article, I have to say that maybe sports fans are a big part of the problem. www.nytimes.com/athletic/641... ICE’s go-to charter airline for deportations also flew NCAA teams, Inter Miami and more

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates
I meant what I said in the debate: the establishment candidate with no vision will get smoked by Ciattarelli. I didn’t expect Politico to reinforce, but here it is—most common reaction to Sherrill’s answers? “Unclear.” That vagueness won’t cut it in today’s politics.

Another sentence in this (largely bad) WSJ Op-Ed:
"The GOP bill isn’t a panacea for all of the rot in higher education."
Well that's true.
Contrast on policy w/Sherrill is important to see. This week LGBTQ. Last week I shared a side by side in our own words between Mikie/I on Immigrants. Today, I’m sharing side by side on LGBTQ issues. youtu.be/n5ZFUO7Y70M?...

Last week I posted differences on healthcare between Mikie and I in our own words. Today I’m posting Video from the Montclair forum on the topic of Immigrants between the two of us. I stand firm this is not a moment for passive leadership like she suggests.

TONIGHT: Let’s talk about what’s next. The leaders of the historic Hands Off! protests will share plans for our next steps (including upcoming nationwide actions on May 1) to continue demonstrating the scale of our movement. We hope to see you there. 👇
