Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

So much for government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Just a reminder that what he's talking about is the private information about every American and business, and there are laws against this access. "Transform the way the government works" by doing what? Targeting opponents? Microtargeting political ads so Republicans never lose?

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Wild to think how strong a position the US would be in geopolitically if it weren’t just shooting itself in both feet. Russia’s military and economy devastated. China stagnating, in massive debt, and falling off a demographic cliff. Europe…adrift at best. An own goal of unbelievable proportions.

Eric Adams was a disgrace from day one and now he's sold all of us to the Trump administration—including our most vulnerable neighbors. It's time for @govkathyhochul.bsky.social to fire him. Every minute she waits, she's sacrificing more New Yorkers. ENOUGH.

If you voted Republican, and you care about your country, please act rather than rationalize. Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, money, country, and future, tell your elected officials that you wanted something else. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Again, this would have immediately ended any presidency from Truman to Obama, & it should do the same now. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

My childhood led me to believe that as an adult I'd have to contend with truth serum, lava, quicksand, falling anvils/pianos, trap doors, and secret passageways. So far it's mostly been weight gain and existential dread.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.
