The history of Illinois has always been shaped by Black Illinoisans. It's why in 1865, we led the nation on this day as the first state to ratify the 13th Amendment. And now, we're forging a path for the future that recognizes our past and builds a better world for all.

Today, I'm proud to stand with @ilstatepolice.bsky.social as we unveil an initiative that supports those who keep Illinoisans safe. Through a new partnership with four Illinois universities, cadet grads will be offered credit hours toward a bachelor’s degree for completing their training.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I wonder if the TB outbreak is connected to raw milk consumption. Silver lining: They’ll turn as orange as their beloved leader. They’ll even cry orange. It’s so poetic.

Donald Trump and his administration have not earned the benefit of the doubt. They are either lying to us or they are critically incompetent.

The most impressive thing about Eras is that Taylor never used a teleprompter. She has every song memorized, in that beautiful noggin of hers.

Hey... didn't Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar collaborate on a remix of Bad Blood? Weird that they'll both be in NOLA in 2 weeks. Probably nothing.

love it when the news starts their sports report with “taylor swift is headed for the super bowl, that’s two in two years” zero mention of the actual sport or the team, so one would naturally expect her to be running on the field in february 10/10 no notes, that’s exactly how i would report it too

Since the FDA can’t communicate with us, then I will help the government do their job. Subscribe to my Substack to get FDA recall alerts until their communication embargo is lifted. This is a matter of public safety. drrubin.substack.com/p/fda-recall...

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.
