The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Just a friendly reminder to anyone serving currently: your first duty is to the Constitution, the second to the president. Please don't forget that order as we go into this next weekend that will assuredly test the strength of our democracy.

That's right, the two LIGO sites (Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington) are not independent instruments, but essential components of a single interferometer designed to detect gravitational waves. If one of the two sites were deactivated, 1/2 🔭🧪

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I've noticed that food hazard issues are not being released in a timely manner, either. What good does it do to know that salad mix with a sell by in March had E. coli when it's May?

It's so ironic how Marge is so against a penis in a women's locker room, but has no problem with a ""penis" barging into a women's room full of teen beauty contestants. #marjorietaylorgreen #hypocrite

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Wondering how many local radio stations in the impacted areas have gone dark. Many Illinois communities have either lost their local coverage or lost their AM stations.

Does anyone else wonder what life would be like if some technology had never happened? I think about higher compression engines and tetraethyl lead. How much crime was committed by the poisoned? How many breakthroughs were never made?

Donald Trump's administration terminated the implementation of @illinoisdceo.bsky.social's Digital Equity Capacity Grant. Instead of enabling Illinoisans to participate in our economy, he's turning his back on rural America, veterans, seniors, and those who rely on internet access.

Yesterday, Robert Prevost asked everyone to start calling him by a different name. And they did. No outrage or shaming over this request. See how easy it is to honor other people's benign wishes?

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!
