Sorry to hear that Lalo Schifrin passed away. We've just podcast our 2007 @wfmu.bsky.social chat here: tinyurl.com/3p3kh5cy or here: tinyurl.com/ye9h5pn4 or any place you like to get your podcasts. Lalo comes off as sharp, funny, insightful & charming. His body of work is pretty mind-blowing.

Lisa Murkowski and John Thune deserve this. Trying to exempt Alaska from odious parts of this bill to buy her vote is overruled by parliamentarian. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

Well done to the many thousands of people in Hungary who are defying dictator Orban by attending a massive pride march even though he banned it in the country. Heroes. 💙🏳️‍🌈

Yet another ICE impersonator caught. How many are they not catching? As @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson & Sexton try to protect masked unidentified vigilantes with legislation— we should be banning this dangerous insanity instead.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

🚨 Today, SCOTUS dropped 6 huge decisions—on LGBTQ+ rights, health care, online privacy, racial gerrymandering, and more. I broke all of them down—clearly, quickly, and in one 10-minute video. Plus a full written guide. No paywall. Just the truth. open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

The President having the Department of Justice demand the head of a state university resign or else, over diversity programs…that is textbook fascist behavior. I don’t use that term loosely (or ever, I don’t think). But that’s what this is. wapo.st/3I1kyqJ

Highly recommend you get any vaccine you might need while they're available & your insurance will cover them. If you're a woman of child bearing age, it's time to think about your family planning needs asap. I put off specialist appts sometimes but if like me, you're on Medicaid, please be proactive

The Supreme Court's decision sets a dangerous precedent. When I signed into law LGBTQ+ history in our curriculum, I hoped schools would become more welcoming to all. We'll keep telling the whole story of our shared history in Illinois, whether through storybooks or textbooks.

Twelve years ago today, the Supreme Court struck down the coverage formula of the Voting Rights Act. They ripped out one of the central features of the most successful civil rights laws in American history. The result has been a disastrous growth in the turnout gap papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /
