Hey, it's Illinois Governor JB Pritzker with an urgent message.

Donald Trump has pledged to wage war on Chicago. 𝗛𝗲'𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝗮𝗶𝗹.

Here's the hard truth: Donald Trump is ignoring the rule of law and we need to call it what it is: 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺.

Abbott orders the Texas National Guard to Austin ahead of ‘No Kings’ protest The governor called the planned protest an “antifa-linked demonstration.” Nearly 100 events will take place over the weekend throughout the Lone Star State.

Fascist Abbott trying to eliminate protests against Trump and Abbott:

I went to No Kings protest at the Capitol last June. Austin Post stated the crowd was "up to" 20K. This event on 10/18 will be much larger. Wouldn't be surprised if the majority of goers don't see them.

FYI, last June Abbott sent 5K NG soldiers & 2K DPS troops across the state for those protests. ✌️

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Got their shot, and the firefighter who lost his life was just collateral damage. Everyone remotely involved should be doing jail time for this stunt. Secret service agents didn't appear to react as you would expect in a normal rush of adrenalin. On-stage reactions looked staged from the gitgo...

“The possibilities range from bad to worse” — especially for what they suggest about the country’s legal leadership, writes former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori.

When a Supreme Court Justice says that no rights are safe under the new legal framework created by the court, it is not merely an opinion — it is a profound warning that shakes the very foundation of democracy.

Another war crime of the occupiers has been caught on camera.
A russian drone attacks families doing field work in the #Kherson region. You can see that there are also children in the field. russians are damn inhuman.

A baby shower party among girls in Ukraine.
Suddenly it's interrupted by russian kamikaze drones, air defense shots, and a missile flying over the girls.
This is the daily life of millions of Ukrainians. All because a little dictator from russia wants to destroy his neighboring nation.

Texas Hill Country is no stranger to flash floods. Why were so many caught off guard? When the precipitation intensified in the early morning hours Friday, many people failed to receive or respond to flood warnings at riverside campsites known to be in the floodplain.

The deluge that killed nearly 80 people along fast-surging Texas rivers early Friday struck a region that has grappled with deadly floods before. And yet, the magnitude of the disaster exposed gaps in its ability to warn people.

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Photo of rescue helicopter over camp mystic

Update: snapshot of rescue helicopter over Camp Mystic. It was accompanied by a photo of 2 young girls inside a helicopter, so hopefully they’re the first 2 of many rescues.

Update: Attached is a post from a Camp Mystic parent whose daughter thankfully survived. In it she mentions the heroism of one of the camp’s many amazing young adult counselors, Annabelle, as well as the beloved camp director who died trying so save some of the campers.

Two months ago, Noem slashed funding that the flood disaster in Texas now needs. This disaster will take years of recovery.

FEMA is slated for closure by the end of Nov, and responsibility for disaster recovery will fall soley on the states.

Texas has 40 electoral votes.

Don't mess with Texas.

“Fight fire with fire.”

Republicans talk shit about blue states all the time, but it’s all talk. Let’s see what they have to say when they’re desperate for blue states’ tax dollars just to keep their states afloat.
