Call me Bob

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

👏👏

Iran has officially ended the mandatory hijab requirement for women. Mohammadreza Bahonar announced that wearing the headscarf is no longer legally enforced, and there will be no fines or penalties. The decision follows years of protests, including those sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Trump calls for jailing of Illinois governor and Chicago mayor in immigration standoff The president, who sent national guard troops to the city, said local officials failed to protect immigration agents.

There's an insane Fascist dictator in the White House.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

if blue state governors and mayors aren't already thinking about the reliability of various police forces nominally under their control, they should start immediately

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Cops Used 83K Cameras to Track an Abortion Patient—on Her Abuser’s Tip Turns out the cop was also an abuser

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

Zohran sits on a bus talking to a rider sitting behind him.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Actually coming up on thirty years of shit, muck raking, lying bullshit created to divide people no matter who dies.
Fuck FOX and a painful death to Rupert Murdoch.

Kristi Noem standing on buildings with her hands on her hips staring down chicken man is a huge waste of our money

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

It is scandalous that every big NYPD chief happens to be "disabled" when they retire.

"Tax free 3/4 of his salery life time benefits... because of an ankle injury he received on Randall's Island while on duty last year."

Bullshit. This is corruption.

Just know that “conversion therapy” is three incoherent pseudoscientific ramblings standing on each other’s shoulders under a trench coat. It’s not therapeutic (it doesn’t help, does net harm), it doesn’t convert (practically no “success” documented), and it should absolutely be banned.

Way to call Trump’s bluff, Gov. Pritzker.

The president threatening to have Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor arrested is serious and bad, not least since it’s because they’re following the law instead of helping Trump break it.

But his capacity is limited. He’s hoping the bluster is enough.

This Reuters headline. Oof.

Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE.

Supreme Court skeptical of state bans on conversion therapy aimed at LGBTQ kids The court heard arguments in a case brought by Kaley Chiles, a Christian talk therapist in Colorado, who argues that the state's ban violates her First Amendment rights.

It seems the SCOTUS is about to rule that Christians have a 1st Amendment (?) right to torture gay kids into denying their true nature.

The USA's morph into Gilead is almost complete.

Weird how that didn’t make the cut.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

"...global trade tensions." All self-inflicted injuries, when Republican voters elected Trump. Again.

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Rand Paul: "I think blowing up speedboats in the Caribbean isn't necessarily the answer."

If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention. 🇺🇸
