Apparently white supremacy is cool on TikTok these days. Dude used a gruesome scene from American History X to advocate for the same treatment of Immigrants. #tiktok #wtf #icantdeal #Godhelpus

They may have taken the statue down, but the internet is forever.

The Trump administration's actions, paired with ABC's capitulation, represent a grave threat to our First Amendment freedoms.

A few pics from #GeneralSynod35 was happy to go and represent my association. Couldn’t be happier with how the votes turned out. The spirit was definitely moving in that convention hall. #UCC #IllinoisConferenceUCC #IntotheDeep

Knocking Out The 'clobber Passages,' Starting With Sodom And Gomorrah The story of Sodom & Gomorrah is just one of the Bible's "clobber passages" used over the decades to condemn homosexuality. Pastor Tyler Yost explains why this interpretation is wrong.

Article I wrote about the first of many Clobber Passages that I will dissect and debunk as being Anti-LGBTQ

May the fourth be with you, Illinois.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

"Know Your Protest Rights. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”

If so, you can calmly walk away.You have the right to remain silent, even if you’re arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you’re arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer.You have the right to refuse consent to a search.If you have valid immigration documents, you’re required to show them. Never provide fake documents.You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.If you’re at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent."Know Your Rights.

If you're protesting this May Day, know your rights.

A tweet by matthew ( @matthewpheta ...) posted 5 hours ago reads, "the right thinks you’re a parasite if you can’t afford to pay off your student loans during a housing and cost of living crisis, but they’re totally fine with loan forgiveness when it applies to them." The tweet includes an image listing "10 Republicans who took advantage of PPP loan forgiveness but blocked student debt relief." The list includes: Marjorie T. Greene (R-Georgia, $180,000), Roger Williams (R-Texas, $1.43 million), Matt Gaetz (R-Florida, $476,000), Brett Guthrie (R-Kentucky, $4.3 million), Carol Miller (R-West Virginia, $3.1 million), Vern Buchanan (R-Florida, $2.8 million), Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma, $1.07 million), Vicki Hartzler (R-Missouri, $451,200), Mike Kelly (R-Pennsylvania, $974,100), and Greg Pence (R-Indiana, $79,441). The image is branded with the logo "VL."

This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.

"No administration should be allowed to circumvent the law to unilaterally strip students of their status, disrupt their studies, and put them at risk of deportation.”

Buns, a four-month old kitten, describes her character while sitting on the 2024 Player's Handbook opened up to the page with the Ranger class.

A screenshot of a post on X by user Suzie Rizzo (@SUZIERIZZO1 ). The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified schoolchildren, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance—what happened to basic human decency?" Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

The thing that most people aren’t realizing is that the thoughtcrimes don’t have to be current for you to be on the Tyrant’s list.

Op-ed articles from a year ago, social media likes from two years ago, hiring decisions from 2017, tattoos from a decade ago: justifications for persecution today.

Always finding new ways my heart can break. Why? Such cruelty…

BREAKING: An appeals court rejected the Trump administration's request to overturn a court order blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport people without due process.

This is a win for immigrants' rights and the rule of law.

Our for-profit health care system is not only broken & cruel, it's extremely wasteful.

While we spend billions on stock buybacks, CEO compensation & denying needed care, Medicare for All would save $650 billion & 68,000 lives a year per CBO & Yale University. Let's get it done.

Yesterday, ICE agents took Jeanette Vizguerra, an immigration advocate, labor leader, and beloved mother and grandmother, into custody.

This was done without a removal order and without explanation.
