NEW: Mayor Brandon Johnson says an unidentified individual tried to set fire to City Hall at 11 p.m. Friday.
A Chicago police officer put out the fire and it did not spread, Johnson says, calling any form of political violence unacceptable.
The investigation is ongoing. @wttw.bsky.social

This is the strength of our city. We’ll honor the trust these families put in us by making this a place where they can thrive.

Of course! If I didn’t know that I wouldn’t have responded at all!

Phang: It is a fundamental premise of the law that there is no requirement that a criminal defendant be forced to testify to explain away the government’s evidence. Hallagan went to law school and knows better, but she’s so stupid that she made that misstatement of the law to the grand jury.

This practice was endorsed by a Supreme Court Justice.

They think we’re all so stupid

One significant way to fix the federal deficit? Dramatically raise the minimum wage across our country. It will cause an increase in tax collections, much less people on federal assistance, and health outcomes will improve causing less reliance on federal health programs.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.

The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.

Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:

Take a night off.

Go to the movies.

Watch “Nuremberg”.

Your time is coming.

Never. He’s just the worst tenant in the world. He’ll be kicked out,

😂🥴😂

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

We Should All Be Epstein Conspiracy Theorists Now Mehdi on the creepy dead pedophile who was threatening a creepy president, the latest from Marjorie Taylor Greene's revolt, and Gavin Newsom's ambitious attempt to unite the Democratic Party.

“To be clear: I am not saying Donald Trump had Jeffrey Epstein killed. I am saying that if the situation were reversed, there is no doubt that Donald Trump would definitely be claiming Joe Biden had Jeffrey Epstein killed” - me for Zeteo

When I was 15 years old I was obsessed with boy bands

I hadn’t kissed a boy

I slept with a stuffed animal

One of my fave activities was hanging out at the mall

I crushed on Leonardo DiCaprio

Why? Because I was a child.

15 year olds are children.

Nothing anyone says will change that.

If democracy dies in darkness, we have seen that the legacy media is willing to turn off the lights. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to shine a spotlight on the most important fights for democracy— those taking place in court.

Somehow I’m expecting many redacted areas next to which someone wrote, in Sharpie, “Clinton.”

Since his return to the White House, Trump has made it clear suppressing votes is a top priority — and he’s stacked his administration with election deniers who are leading the charge. Here are some of the top figures working to disenfranchise voters👇

Excellent.

Say what you like about their incompetence, but they show admirable skill at the long political suicide note.

Grand theft government President Trump is in the process of sending millions of dollars in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.

What Trump is spending our tax dollars on while cutting our healthcare:

💰$500M payout to himself
💰$50M to Mike Flynn
💰$4M to 8 GOP Senators
💰billionaire tax cuts
💰$1B to upgrade the plane he got as a bribe

Robbing us to enrich himself and friends

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Well, that’s optimism I suppose en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator

So the occupant of our White House is cool with pedophilia and we’re just going to carry on like everything is normal?

“I was 14… I was 16… this was me when I met Epstein… there are thousands of us… time to let the secrets out of the shadows”

Powerful ad from survivors ahead of a vote to tell us where each House rep stands on protecting kids vs protecting pedophiles.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing!
Vaccines save lives.
