Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln. As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

If Donald Trump really wants to hit Elon where it hurts he'd give Chicagoland $11.7 billion to #BuildTheTunnel

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

Each week, The Contrarian selects "Undaunted" individuals working to defend democracy This week's spotlight: NPR By standing up to Trump's censorship efforts, NPR showed itself to be an undaunted champion of the free press, and thereby, of our democracy.

Good morning, it’s time to contact your state reps and remind them that reform is not enough: we need to bridge the transit fiscal cliff and keep our transportation system solvent. Now more than ever, we need *both* #RevenuesAndReform, before spring session adjourns this Saturday.

Your Sunday long read ☀️: It’s nearing graduation season and we’re looking back at our 2024 story about the Northwestern University degree program at Stateville Correctional Center. The feature explored the groundbreaking program and why it matters.

Paranoia inside the Trump administration is ramping up, they’re now polygraphing their own staff. Everyone in our coalition made it through this week’s round safely.

/ Trump wants Springsteen and Beyonce investigated for backing Kamala Harris. / Trump Jr. asks why Jill Biden, with a doctorate in education, didn’t detect Joe's cancer. / The Homeland Security Dept. denies it’s the Gestapo, which makes more people think it's the Gestapo. What a stupid country.

We won’t defeat fascism by pleading with cultists who think J6 was a “tourist visit” and Mexico paid for the wall. They’re lost to us. The people who matter now are A) those who ignore politics and must be awakened; and B) patriots who must be persuaded to get more active now, while they can.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

@juliapoe.bsky.social Can you please explain Joe Cowley’s obsession with getting Zion Williamson. During his career, he’s missed more games than he’s played. And rarely looks in bball shape. Help!!

I think it's important to stress that the Mayor was arrested AS HE WAS TRYING TO DO HIS WORK.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday night urged the legal profession to toughen up. "If you’re not used to fighting, and losing battles, then don’t become a lawyer," she said. Her remarks came against the backdrop of immense stress on lawyers from the Trump administration.

😂

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

Foreign films are a national security threat? We’re shaking our heads. We’d laugh if this wasn’t such dangerous, authoritarian rhetoric. What other countries do this? Russia and China.

My favorite passage from @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s latest essay. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

As an institution, the New York Times has failed. This excellent thread by Michael Hobbes takes apart today's NYT editorial urging democracy defenders to mind their manners as they oppose Trump. NYT seems to hold out hope that lavender oatmilk lattes will be served in the journalist detention camps.

Two Chicagos. Were this on the north side, we all know it would have been fixed. A side-by-side look at Jackson and Lincoln parks makes the disinvestment in the south side all them more glaring. Great coverage by @leebey1.bsky.social chicago.suntimes.com/architecture...

Pro-choice Catholics are just as faithful. Pro-choice Catholics are just as faithful. Pro-choice Catholics are just as faithful. Pro-choice Catholics are just as faithful. Pro-choice Catholics are just as faithful.

@obamafoundation.bsky.social Please respond to concerns about the Chicago Obama Presidential Library causing long time residents to suddenly not be able to afford living near it. What are you doing to ensure “gentrification” doesn’t harm lower income families .

It was probably just scared Pete Hegseth might try to fly it. 🍸

As former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney famously said: "To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.” #ResistTrump

Agree.

It’s probably a good idea to ditch your black plastic utensils, since they may expose you to harmful chemicals. Here’s what to use instead.

Good to see @carfreekeith.bsky.social’s #BuildTheTunnel video is coming up on 25,000 views youtu.be/WrCsytmZK4U?...

Nothing like a collective effort to show how quickly the wheels can come off.

This was goodbye. Pope Francis rode through St. Peter’s Square in the Popemobile yesterday, just hours before he passed away.
