It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

Republicans try to weaken 50-year-old law protecting whales, seals and polar bears One of the U.S.’s longest standing pieces of environmental legislation, credited with helping save rare whales from extinction, is the subject of an effort for cutbacks from Republican lawmakers who n...

Republicans will do anything to put more money in their pockets at the expense of people, animals, and the environment.

And thanks to @apnews.com for calling the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Just a reminder that the Constitution gives Congress the power to set tariffs. It could end this madness any day they chose to discover their power.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.

Trump got a Covid vaccine today.

These guys hogtied a journalist who is probably their mom’s age for nothing.

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia"

Gavin Newsom: “Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I’m being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today.”

Did I just pre-order THE KEEPER OF MAGICAL THINGS by @julieleong.bsky.social on Libro.FM? Do I need a bit of cozy fantasy to scrub off some of the damage from our current hellscape? Yes on both counts.

So CNN edited out Stephen Miller's "Plenary Authority" comment to make him look better. This is INSANITY!

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

That looks so good!!!

SO! Don Jr is doing incitement?

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. Ted Cruz was born in Canada.

Bad Bunny is eligible to run for president because he’s a natural born citizen. Ted Cruz is not.

Thought that was a fun little fact.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Goddamn, this is great. The part at the end — you’ll know it when you see it — made me laugh so hard that I startled the dogs.

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!”

“Let me introduce you to our frog.”

I think this is right:
"We've slid into some form of authoritarianism," says Steven Levitsky, a professor of government at Harvard. "It is relatively mild compared to some others. It is certainly reversible, but we are no longer living in a liberal democracy."

so is this the fight against "left-wing terrorism"?

in a new post, trump claims he has a 65% approval rating. he is trying to manufacture consent. don't let him: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...
