Ha, just thought about adding this to my watchlist, but maybe I should give it a pass?

This cannot be spoken loudly enough. Government “handouts” to individuals wouldn’t be necessary without government-sanctioned corporate greed.

October 24, 2025 Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has canceled House business again next week, meaning that over the last 17 weeks, the House of Representatives will have worked on Capitol Hill for just 20 days.

“today the [DOJ] announced it will monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions in the upcoming November 4 elections. The observers will go to [CA] and [NJ], two Democratic-dominated states that will be holding elections with national consequences.”

The lead up to suspend midterm elections

I have not seen this movie but will subscribe to your livestream viewing party

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

October 23, 2025 Julia Ainsley and Didi Martinez of NBC News reported today that Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s rush to get new recruits onto the street has meant they have pushed into their training program mo...

“Pritzker said, ‘we must remind everyone that…[t]here will come a time where people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law. When the time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and the records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.’”

Happy Diwali, Illinois!

I hope that the Festival of Lights brings you peace during this time of celebration and reflection — that even in the darkest of days, the light of wisdom and unity will always triumph.

How dare you! (But also, totally fair)

We are living in one of the stupidest times in history.

I remember the ferocity of the area code wars. What a time the 90’s were

Same re: 5-digit dialing in my small Indiana town. And having a rotary phone, so not having to dial those extra 2 numbers saved real time 😃

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.

October 5, 2025 On Friday the Minnesota Star Tribune reported a conversation on the messaging app Signal between one of Stephen Miller’s top deputies, Anthony Salisbury, and a senior advisor to Secretary of Defense P...

But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

Trump is clearly demented but also setting up his Reagan moment

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

September 23, 2025 In New York City this morning, the United Nations opened its General Assembly, marking the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations itself.

Every person in that room should have gotten up and walked out at the start of his diatribe. He absolutely is stark raving mad and an absolute embarrassment to this country and the world

The Homelessness Crisis Under Trump Will Only Get Worse The Trump administration is counting on us to renounce those living on the streets, while struggling with their mental health or the cost of housing (or both).

This is a really important read. For sure, Trump policies will only intensify the homelessness crisis. But inaction and dehumanization of people with stable housing has historically been, sadly, a very bipartisan take

Also if you put glitter in the envelope, that could be fun

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

BREAKING: A majority of Brazil’s Supreme Court panel has voted to convict ex-President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting to overturn the 2022 election

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

YES! I call it the annual smushing of the boobs. There has to be a less painful, more dignified way

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

This was so brilliant! What a way to build community!

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

Ba-dum-PAH!
