Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Opinion | What Chuck Schumer Can Learn From Bad Bunny

Here’s a gift link to my New York Times piece on what Dems can learn from bad bunny

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

“The oath says enemies foreign and domestic… well, we also have domestic.”

Trump tells the generals he plans to use the military against Americans

they are really making a bet the likes of which we have not quite seen before in the history of authoritarianism but our media ecology is such that i do not think history is giving us a proper sense of how to make those odds

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

"Yes, Yes, to Ta-Nehisi Coates, you listen."

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

Here are four ways anyone can support and help their local library:

• Get a library card ⭐️
• Use your library card 🌟
•Visit the library 💫
•Tell everyone to get a library card and support their local library ✨

Live your life in such a way that if people directly quote you after your death, no one will accuse them of "speaking ill of the dead."

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

in retrospect, there’s probably never been a name as threatening as “America Online”

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

We can, and should, deplore Charlie Kirk's murder, without whitewashing who he was. ttps://www.thenation.com/article/society/charlie-kirk-assassination-tragedy/

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

The expectation, from the complicit mainstream media, that every single person on social media hold themselves to a HIGHER standard of respect than the freaking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES will never cease to amaze me.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

If like me you saw this post and said that’s great but didn’t listen, I recommend listening. It’s a good sound.

NEW: The anti-Trump protest happening right now on the streets of Washington DC is HUGE!

It looks like tens of thousands have joined.

This is the view from 16th Street - people stretching as far as the eye can see 👏

School cell phone ban creates surge in JCPS library visits District leaders are calling it a culture shift within Jefferson County Public Schools.

District leaders are calling it a culture shift within Jefferson County Public Schools.

Less than a month into the district’s first school year with a new cellphone ban, JCPS has found that students are checking out library books at a record rate.

With the Trump Administration about to roll its ugly occupation into Chicago, I wanted to write a little lyrical love letter to the city. dansinker.com/posts/202…

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.
