They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

Couldn’t say it better myself.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

"We took the freedom of speech away."

Repuglicans just admitted to violating the constitution. Remember that. Repeat that. Shove it in their faces like they shat on the carpet. Because they're shitting all over all of us.

One fun fact: Judge Immurgut, who granted the restraining order keeping the OR Nat Guard out of Portland, isn 't just a FedSoc stalwart and Trump appointee. She worked on Ken Starr's investigation of Clinton and personally interrogated Monica Lewinsky.

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Bad Bunny should perform Lee Greenwood’s proud to be an American song at the Super Bowl but sing it in Spanish

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Best Big City: Chicago Wins Award 9th Year in a Row Learn why Chicago was voted the Best Big City for the 9th consecutive year by exploring our vibrant culture, welcoming inclusion, and so much more.

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW.

While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

Pentagon chief Hegseth more interested in pushups than talking with Illinois leaders, Pritzker says The governor said the Trump administration is keeping him in the dark about immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments.

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

SQP, the people who did all the portfolios in the 70s. What does it stand for?

I know it's a guy's name (Sol, I thhink) and I know the last word is Productions, but damned if I can find it with multiple searches thus far.

HELP!!!!!!

Trying to get ahead on my lectures for History of Comic Art...

This won't slow me down AT ALL, doing art searches for The Studio.

On a related note, I wish someone would do a documentary on it. I'd love to see Kaluta and BWS share their recollections and any photos of the space and the period.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Reposting this because I’m right;

I am increasingly convinced that the key to understanding the ongoing blueskymod crashout is that they are having a kind of crisis of faith over the reputational collapse of the tech industry.

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

To be fair, killing things is the only way Pete Hegseth is able to get an erection.

There is a simple and basic truth here which is that this is not how legitimate law enforcement agencies in a democratic nation state behave.

It’s simple and basic, so much so that it bears repeating again and again lest it slip away through the open Overton window.

Federal agents shoot woman in Chicago suburb after allegedly being rammed, boxed in by cars, DHS says The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents shot a woman in Broadview, Illinois, after they said they were rammed and boxed in by cars Saturday.

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

Kat deserves alllll the same hype Mamdani gets. She’s out there getting literally beaten. We need to uplift every single one of these people who are doing the most so those doing the least know what we expect, and nothing less.
