Preparing & posting the flyer the other defendants shared is also listed as one of the "overt acts" of the alleged conspiracy. So is receiving texts "from a local news correspondent in Minnesota" that an ICE officer (David Easterwood) serves as a Cities Church pastor, deeming that news "outrageous."

Big oil’s argument that it should be illegal for states/localities to make polluters pay: pollution is a federal issue ONLY because it drifts across state lines

Fed government argument in getting rid of regulations: pollution is actually a local issue so we can’t do much

Trump admin in 10 cases after shooting someone, either dropped charges or Judge dismissed them after evidence emerged showing gov’t lied.

“There’s such pressure from the administration to charge right away and make headlines so they can put out false press releases.”

Bovino made a speech defending the killing of Alex Pretti yesterday, in which he talked all about "choices."

He chose to terrorize and teargas communities, racially profile, and pathologically lie. It's also true the Trump admin is full of people like this.

Chicago stands with Minneapolis.

Snow will not stop Chicagoans from showing up and saying enough is enough.

Minneapolis has friends everywhere. #chicago

"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance —from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law." - @jbpritzker.bsky.social

If your political movement is both reinstalling confederate statutes while at the same time attacking accurate depictions of history, because it focuses on “how bad Slavery was,” you are on the wrong side.

Sums up how Republicans did in Illinois last night.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei

@govpritzker.illinois.gov’s campaign to lower health care costs includes cancelling more medical debt, expanding access to mental health, and reducing prescription drug costs by going after PBM’s.

This. All of this. From @govpritzker.illinois.gov

You’d think a single elected Republican in Illinois would join in raising the alarm bell that the executive branch is illegally withholding almost 2 billion dollars from their state and constituents.

Good things can still happen in government … locally.

Cook County passed a balanced budget that included $ to provide wraparound reproductive health services.

“The county health system said this would be the first time in recent memory that funds like this are included in the county budget.”

“By ensuring additional funding to organizations providing this critical care, we are making very clear that no matter who is in the Oval Office, we as a County can stand up and choose freedom, bodily autonomy, and equity.” - Comm'r
Degnen after passage of her & Comm'r Miller’s budget amendment.

Screenshot from WBEZ Cook County commissioners unanimously approved a $9.94 billion budget on Thursday for 2025, including more money for reproductive health services as supporters prepare for a Donald Trump presidential administration that could potentially roll back protections. Democratic Commissioner Bridget Degnen spearheaded the effort to amend the budget to provide $2 million in grants to community organizations that provide wraparound reproductive health services. These organizations help cover the cost of everything from hotel stays and travel to medical bills for people seeking abortions.

Real live good news: Cook County, Illinois, passed a budget with $2 million in grants for abortion funds and practical support organizations. Those groups and clinics are struggling in the wake of funding cuts from national pro-choice groups in July

First post on here feels fitting. I was sworn into the bar the day after Election Day, which included an oath to the Constitution. This occurred the day after America elected someone who wanted to “terminate” the constitution in an effort to overturn the results of the prior election. That’s all.

Why do Trumpers want to abolish the Department of Education? Because it’s in charge of prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race and sex in schools that get federal funding, a policy Congress set in 1975 through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
