Save the planet. Save the environment. Save America from fascism. Rightwing extremists should be in prison if they committed crimes. Flip the House & Senate.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Once authoritarianism shows up to the party, there can be 2 kinds of media:

Propaganda that is sanctioned by the regime

Independent media that exists to see the authoritarian project ended

There is no 3rd way. Eventually, every media institution will have to choose a side. Via Bulwark

In a Toxic World, Pets Could Be Vital Health Watchdogs

When air #pollution rose, so did number of #veterinary visits for #cats& #dogs, the researchers found. If the nation kept air pollution below the threshold recommended by the World Health Org, it could prevent between 80,000 and 290,000 vet visits per year.

I remember when I used to go DAYSβ€”WEEKS EVENβ€”without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

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.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge β€” Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

The most dangerous thing Trump is doing now is giving highly partisan political speeches to active duty military - repeatedly trashing Democrats. I can’t recall either him, Leavitt, or Reps ever being asked about the fact that it violates a foundational principle of our Republic.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistβ€”Harmeet Dhillonβ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

So. I've been thinking about Ashley & Gizelle's whine that Stacey has bad breath. I suspect this is #gaslighting by them. They can't produce the lawsuit documents so they'll take her down another way. Did TJ ever show receipts that Stacey was going to pay him? #meangirls #hateful #RHOP #WWHL
