He is not thinking about the Iranian people, our service members in harm’s way, or even a coherent rationale for war. He is thinking about himself, his ego, and how to turn the People’s House into a monument to his power.

Hubris Without Idealism Donald Trump has embraced a warped version of the neoconservatism he once derided.

Regime change on the cheap!

This war of choice will end disastrously as it did in Iraq. Asks the Shiites who trusted George Bush.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

Anthropic Takes a Stand The company is refusing to bow to the Pentagon’s demands.

Declining an invitation to attend the #SOTU speech by misogynist, pedo protecting, autocratic president is exactly what they should do. Bravo! #GOP #Trump #MAGA

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

Trump accounts have 'more unanswered questions than answered,' expert says. What's still unknown Trump accounts offer free money for some families. But other details have yet to be resolved, experts say. Here's what to expect.

I smell a Trump #grift.

Melanie Stansbury speaking to a crowd

Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active coverup of the largest sex trafficking scandal & influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States — and Donald Trump is right at the center of it”

Logan Square, Wicker Park Neighbors Say No To More Delivery Robots Ald. Daniel La Spata said Coco and Serve Robotics won't expand service in the 1st ward after more than 80 percent of residents who responded to a survey said they didn't want them.

Bravo Wicker Park and Logan Square!

We do not need #Coco on our sidewalks already crowded with bicycles, scooters and more. Pedestrian safety is most important.

Pete Hegseth’s Attack on Harvard The anger at the Ivy League is about status envy, not war-fighting.

Harvard bashing to perform for the boss. Short-sighted decisions to the detriment of the US.

‼️‼️‼️ DO NOT FORGET!!! Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community.

You simply arrest, fine and release.

YOU DO NOT MURDER!
ARREST ICE AGENT ROSS NOW ‼️‼️‼️

National Nurses United outraged by murder of VA registered nurse by immigration agents, demand abolition of ICE NNU issued the following statement in response to the murder of Alex Pretti, RN: “The nation’s nurses, who make it their mission to care for and save human lives, are horrified and outraged that immig...

We're horrified & outraged: Immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them.

This time, they've executed a fellow nurse, Alex Pretti. We demand justice and accountability. Abolish ICE, now! https://bit.ly/4big77u

Trump gestapo goons.

Trump gestapo goons.

Blanche sends Ghislane Maxwell to Club Fed, kills an investigation of Ross, and launches an investigation of the victim. A truly evil bastard.

They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

We’ve lost our way entirely.

When the numbers don’t match the outrage, it’s not about immigration.

It’s about racism and hate. Period.
Project 2025 is the blueprint.

MLK's last mission — uniting the poor across racial lines — remains unfinished

"King understood that uniting people across racial lines was not just morally right — it was practically necessary. It was the only way to build enough power to secure health care, fair wages, food security and basic stability for everyone," writes Ben Jealous.

Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke He can barely bring himself to pretend he cares.

New in PN: Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke

"Is it great? No. Is it a plan? Not really. It is, however, in its combination of stupidity, ideological derangement, and unseriousness, a near-perfect expression of Trump and his party."

Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw Will Republicans in Congress ever step in?
