L’Etat C’est Moi

Happy Holi, Illinois! Wishing you a joyous celebration, from my family to yours.

At today’s Oversight hearing on ICE actions in Minnesota, I subpoenaed Greg Bovino to testify to the committee. The victims, survivors, and people of Minnesota deserve answers and for the bad actors to be held accountable.

Maine, vote for the qualified, experienced legislator with a proven record of fighting for all of you.

It's such an easy decision.

11 caucuses, 8 counties, and over 1,000 miles — what a weekend!

Kansas’s attempt to erase trans people is disgusting. In Congress, I will fight to protect trans people, like I have done in Illinois, and will work to overturn these harmful, discriminatory laws.

I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Senator Hassan's mother, Peggy. I'm wishing her and her family peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Secretary Noem has given Corey Lewandowski, an unqualified special government employee, unprecedented power.

The Department of Homeland Security is charged with keeping Americans safe. We deserve sound judgement and ethical leadership—it’s a matter of national security.

Very impressive!

Dear god, the berners are loose and ready to elect Republicans again.

I don't expect this person to read and take this seriously (cause $5 its a fucking bot) but I am urging people to learn about Gingrich and the campaign by R think tanks (including Heritage of Project 2025 fame) to rebrand civil rights in such a way they could attack them in broad daylight.

"Identity Politics" is Civil Rights, you fucking doorknob.

Republican think tanks rebranded it as IP in the late 90s so they could roll back our rights. Their published works outlining this plot have been online since the fucking 90s.

"Back to the working class."

Because, um, Black Texans aren't working class?

Trilateral peace talks on hold as Ukraine waits for US, Zelensky says Trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. are on hold due to the war between Washington and Tehran, President Volodymyr Zelensky said March 4.

⚡️Trilateral peace talks on hold as Ukraine waits for US, Zelensky says.

Trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. are on hold due to the war between Washington and Tehran, President Volodymyr Zelensky said March 4.

Two things can be true at the same time:

Trump is an absolute menace to the world who is responsible for starting this illegal war on Iran.

Iran's leaders are fucking hideous religious fanatics who have been terrorizing their own people as well as that region for decades.

Wedding sirens: Under fire, Israeli couple ties the knot in bomb shelter With all gatherings canceled by war, Lior and Michael decide not to give up on their wedding day and to relocate the celebration to the underground parking lot of a Tel Aviv mall

For people in Israel, this is how it is.

Observations:
1) It could have been a cancelled wedding
2) It could have been a pity party
3) But nobody's playing the victim card
4) Strength rules the day
5) Happiness and love

To the couple: Mazel tov and l'chaim!!

I’m not mad. I’m indifferent.

I’m indifferent because it’s blowing my mind that people are still just assuming that Black Voters are just going to fall in line and keep saving them from their own damn demographic.

Y’all said them folks would vote for him so it’s on y’all to make it happen.

I don’t think you all realize how exhausted Black voters are with being treated like a damn afterthought.

I also don’t think you realize how long and how hard we have been fighting for this country *by ourselves.*

It’s not up to us to save you.

It’s up to the whites.

"Iran-created machines of death" that have killed Ukrainians -- including Ukrainian CHILDREN -- for years now.

Where are the howls of outrage about Iran's murder of these children?

Bravo! 👏 🇺🇦

Iranian/Hamas propaganda swept the Left with antisemitism for two years.

Now “progressives” find they can run on it.

And they have no compunction about doing it. From Hogg to Newsom.

Sounds a lot like sieg heil to me.

What will you tell HER? "Sorry, guess you'll just DIE because we've got a degenerate carny barker running things & Democrats hate Israel now?"

Iran has been waging war against us, Israel & Europe since '79.

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

After endless revelations about people in the Epstein files, it's refreshing to see one about three people who were invited to something by Epstein and were like "nope" ... including Bluesky elder @seanmcarroll.bsky.social

That’s what prompted me to post this.

We’re watching a frenzy of hate being stirred up, and we know where that can end.

They even came up with a phony photo of a guy who barely resembled Sanders, trying to pass that off as BS himself.

I remember them calling Lewis a liar when he stated he hadn't known of or met Sanders during the Civil Rights movement in the 60s.

Schism doesn't feel like the proper term if they were never supporting our national candidates.

"I never thought I would see the day that “democrats” were giddy over outright voter suppression. "

I remember the Sanders delegates booing John Lewis.

I'm all for strategic alliances, but the tent is too damn big if "Democrats" are giddy about voter suppression.

There are plenty of people whose votes I will accept, but sharing a tent? Out of the question when they act in ways that proactively harm me or others in my community. Sorry not sorry.
