Illinois lawmakers approve ban on immigration arrests near courthouses

The legislation imposes civil damages for false imprisonment when someone attending a court hearing or appearing as a party or witness to a legal proceeding is arrested. Proponents say courts must be accessible to everyone to pursue remedies to violations of their rights.

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE? According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Anyone surprised to hear it's all a ginormous fucking pack of lies?

The triumph of bullshit Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Approval of Trump among Hispanic adults has dropped from 40% to only 25%. Although that’s a dramatic decline, I honestly can’t understand why even 25% still approve of his performance.

Don’t they care about how fellow Hispanics — including American citizens — are being targeted and abused by ICE? 🤨

I’m at Gatorland in Orlando, and one of the employees told me that park attendance is way down: “The zip line should be packed, but nobody’s buying tickets.”

He says people just aren’t spending money, and guesses that’s because everyone is struggling due to the “lousy economy.”

An intersection with just a few remnants of a marked crosswalk

A beautifully restored crosswalk in Gravelly Point Park.

This week, the @mountvernontrail.org made lemonade out of lemons and used the shutdown closed park at Gravelly Point to repaint an essentially missing crosswalk.

This is all volunteer funded and performed activity. In tough times, be these high-viz vest wearing volunteers!

Bernie, Zohran and AOC on stage.

Thank you, New York City.

Now let’s win.

Ontario just ran the Ronald Reagan commercial again during tonight’s World Series. Thank you, Canada, for standing up to an insane bully. Will you please adopt some of us?

Also, #TrumpIsAPedophile.

So the US military is about to become the Drug Enforcement Agency for South America since we obviously learned nothing from the last 60 years of foreign policy.

Absolutely outrageous!! 🤬

It's official: Trump is insane

All these events he claims happened in 2020 - when none of these people were in any position of power and when Trump, not Biden, was president

There are no documents, just the things Crazy Trump hallucinates

A middle finger to erasure.

More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!

Kosta Diamantis guilty on all charges Konstantinos Diamantis was found guilty of 21 counts of bribery, extortion, conspiracy and lying to federal investigators.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Corruption goes courtside.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Yep!
Now there's a voice we can trust.

I wonder if @hcrichardson.bsky.social has seen this!

Pardon her French!

Yes we do!

Keep on fighting,
