Rich Q.

I’m in a pretty safe blue district but what can we do to flip some red seats?

I certainly hope you’re right and Democrats win in all these races, and, most importantly, in the midterms. Trump and his henchmen (and women) are riding roughshod over everything.
I’m from Chicago and the biggest danger there is the fact that ICE thugs are terrorizing entire neighborhoods.

I don’t live in New York, but this is an interesting and damning article.

Cloud Gate sculpture, AKA The Bean

Caldwell Pond Lincoln Park, Chicago

A couple of Chicago photos.
Cloud Gate (AKA The Bean) and the newly renovated Caldwell Pond in Lincoln Park.

Amazing how the “good Christian” Mike Johnson, can look straight at a camera and lie, spewing the most vile shit imaginable.

What an asshole!

Seems feasible, knowing what that evil dog killer is like.

You could be. She, on the other hand, is hideous inside and out.

Trump authorises National Guard deployment to Chicago The controversial move follows protests over ramped-up immigration enforcement and the shooting of a woman during unrest on Saturday.

www.bbc.com/news/article...
It was “law enforcement” that shot the woman. I think Trump is deliberately trying to provoke violence in order to impose Marshall Law.
Chicago is my home town. Deployment of National Guard is completely unwarranted.

Remove UC’s President from Office. Stop the Violation of Academic Freedom and Free Speech Principles. We urge the University of California Board of Regents to remove the current UC president and replace him with a leader willing to defend academic freedom instead of betraying it.

Tell Washington Post Not to Punish Truth-Teller The Washington Post has fired probably its best writer, Karen Attiah, for clearly denouncing the toxic realities of Charlie Kirk’s work and legacy.

One should never be persevered for expressing the truth. Bezos claims that opinions should support “personal freedom” but appears that only applies to right wing freedom. We live in dangerous times.

Trump’s EPA doesn’t care about you - The Hill

Agreed. No one should be punished for speaking the truth. MSNBC should be ashamed and should offer to rehire him.

Really pretty. The closest thing I’ve seen is a Wood Duck.

Still very impressive.

Great photos.

True statement. She was a delusional woman drawn into the MAGA sphere. People who think for themselves would never become a part of that toxic cult.

Very well written. You have a great perspective on the situation. Young men need more role models like you.

This Maine oysterman thinks Democrats are doing ‘jack’ about fascism. So he’s running for US Senate - The Guardian

Perfect description.

Gestapo more precisely.

Even more reason to go there.

Now he’s threatening Chicago, where he is almost universally despised.

True enough but this country is not even close to sane.

They are beautiful. I’m not sure how to tell the difference between Purple Finches and House Finches, but I think the ones we see in my area are House Finches.
