You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Wyden: "About 2 percent of our imports come from Great Britain. So put me down as kind of skeptical that there is much there there."

And it just keeps getting stupider and stupider and I keep getting drunker and drunker 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤯🤬

I like this new Pope already.

BREAKING: Senator Chris Murphy just ripped Secretary Noem to filth on the Senate floor:

“Your department is out of control.”

Illegal spending. Shadow immigration policy. People disappearing for criticizing the regime.

We’re not teetering on fascism. We’re in it.

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.

“The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

Ben Meiselas at Milken Institute: They want to hear: Why are you bullying a marginalized community? Why are you punching down at human beings? We are the United States of America—why are you treating people like this?

American-born Cardinal Robert F. Prevost is elected pope The “Latin Yankee,” as he is known in Rome, worked 20 years in Peru’s poorest enclave and even became a naturalized citizen there.

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a native of Chicago who is now the first American-born pope, has spent most of his career outside of the U.S, ministering to the dispossessed and marginalized.

The “Latin Yankee,” as he is known in Rome, worked 20 years in Peru.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

No words… 😢

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.

But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

account geo-censored

Elon Musk doing fascist Erdogan's bidding has banned / censored popular opposition candidate @ekremimamoglu.com's account inside of Turkey.

Freedom of speech for some, suppression for everyone else.

Is this who we are?

Per @thorbenson.bsky.social, I will now be calling her "the Vanna White of shitters"

Donald Trump’s Information Warfare Against America Federal data used to be economic jet fuel. Now much of it is either gone or weaponized.

"Unnerved observers say Trump, Musk, and their allies are already well along toward their increasingly obvious goal: Compiling agency information on everyone everywhere into a single, easily searchable database."

Good thing he decorated the Oval Office with all that tacky gold shit from China before the tariffs kicked in.

A 98 year old World War 2 veteran, returned to his tank to destroy one last Nazi car. He has a message for Elon Musk, Tesla, Putin, Trump and the international regressive movement.

We crushed fascism before, and we'll crush it again, so let's go shall we? #3E #teslatakedown

Chicago is on to something.

When you realize the tacky Versailles-wannabe trash on the fireplace is just Chinese polyurethane spray painted gold.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.
