Chicago is so much of a war zone that we just won best big city for the 9th year in a row.

the hearts of millions
beat in rhythm with mine
as we navigate our days
to an uncertain future
the infection of those
who choose greed and power
over the greater good
is as lethal as any virus
& there’s no vaccine for this
we have the numbers
but for now they hold the whip

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Post of the day IMO

May the memories of those lost be a blessing. I continue to pray for an immediate release of all hostages, an end to the war and famine and for a lasting peace in the region.

Hirono to Bondi: "It's very clear to me that when the president posts something like, that he considers the DOJ to be his law firm and you his lawyer."

Republicans spent the day reminding everyone that Lindsey Graham and other GOP electeds were talking to Trump’s team during the effort to overturn a free and fair election. Not exactly the flex they think it is.

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

El costo de vida en Nueva Jersey ha sido demasiado alto por un rato. Pero en este momento, se siente peor, y el aumento en los precios de energía es una gran parte del problema.

The cost of living has been a problem in New Jersey for a long time. But these days, it feels worse, and the massive increase in energy costs is a big reason why.

I’m going to declare a State of Emergency on Day One to end the rate hikes and drive in new energy to grow supply and lower costs.

fascism is the partnership of state violence with corporate power

the nation's finest corporations view Steven Miller's masked thugs as a business opportunity - yet they are still vulnerable to mass consumer boycotts/pressure so let's fuckin light Wells Fargo up

To close a Wells Fargo A/C, you must have a zero balance and no pending transactions. You can call customer service at 1-800-869-3557, visit a branch with valid ID, or by mail a completed Account Closure Request form if you are outside the U.S. Wells Fargo does not allow account closures online.

The same Wells Fargo that had to pay out $3 billion dollars in settlements for signing customers up for accounts and paid services without their permission.
In an industry where shitty behavior is the baseline, they really go above and beyond.

This was the first thing I thought of, too, when I saw the Wells Fargo headline. It’s in the playbook, so look for more of the same.

Dolly Parton había cancelado actuar en Las Vegas por temas de salud. Resulta que es más grave de lo que parecía.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

So Abbott flew undocumented immigrants to Illinois so that he could send National Guard troops to Illinois to help ICE arrest them.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"
