Look at how they all talk about a singularity, how they've so eagerly and pathetically recreated evangelical Christianity from libertarian first principles and classic golden age science fiction written by sexual predators.

I keep hearing about Kavanaugh stops like they're part of the law, certified legal by the Supreme Court. ***They are not***

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Trump sent stormtroopers into cities around Chicagoland yesterday including Evanston. They threatened Illinoisans at gunpoint. They demanded our papers. They kidnapped us. These stormtroopers are who you've sent our Illinois State Police to protect.

@ilattygeneral.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov Hey guys, instead of using the Illinois State Police to back up these criminals why don't you start investigating their crimes? Kidnapping, breaking & entering, brandishing firearms, assault. So many options beyond filing law suits.

Do we have secret state police in Illinois @govpritzker.illinois.gov? We've seen very clearly the horrors that ICE agents' anonymity allows. Don't give your troopers the same license to abuse the public! Require all police in Illinois to wear identifying marks on any uniformed assignment.

@duckworth.senate.gov and @durbin.senate.gov, you seriously couldn't stand up straight enough to vote against honoring a hate preacher? What's next - David Duke Day? Nathan Bedford Forrest Day? Every time you let this fascist bullshit pass without objection you get weaker. Stand up for us!

I'm still hearing, occasionally, a lament that "you should've voted for Kamala", whoever that "you" is. 235 days have passed and nobody can go back to change the result. Not on November 6th and not now. Telling people what they should have done helps nothing.

Hey @ericswalwell.bsky.social, *what* things has Mamdani "said about the Jewish people"? Do you have any actual quotes or is this just a vague allusion to things he never said because you want to smear a real progressive?

Note to reporters, editors, politicians, and somebody's uncle: I can be worried/angry/sad about more than 1 thing at at time. Israel bombing Iran does not "push the ICE protests off the front page"

@sanders.senate.gov You gotta know that a big reason Dr King's non-violent strategy was effective is that it was the alternative, the better option. The implicit risk of a violent reaction to society and government ignoring the demands of a movement gives non-violence power.

Xitter post from Bernie Sanders at 1:50pm 9 June 2025 reading
"Dr. King defeated racist government officials & ended segregation through disciplined non-violent resistance.

Defeating Trumpism, oligarchy & authoritarianism requires that same level of discipline.

Violent protests are counterproductive and play right into Trump’s playbook."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social You damn fool. The tariffs are a distraction. The DOGE BS is a distraction. Sideshow Bobby and his anti-health malarkey are a distraction. What they're distracting you from is Trump's Gestapo kidnapping people and disappearing them without any chance to defend themselves.

It always seems to come down to "yes, the MAGAs are abducting people on the streets, destroying the nation's economy, eviscerating science as a force for good, and openly practicing racism and misogyny, but the 'left' tried to get people to use respectful language. We were forced to be fascist."

Hey @durbin.senate.gov, you could take a turn too! When the business of the Senate is hurting Americans, and letting Trump and Musk hurt Americans without interference, you need to stop that business from happening.

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

Gonna clean up their phrasing because I'm a helpful little copy editor: "giving a provocative gesture . . . ." should read "saluted like the Nazi he is and always has been"

If America's values change every 4 years they're not values. The rules don't all get thrown out because of 1 election. Neither do our values. The majority can make decisions within the rules for a while. That doesn't make them absolute rulers, and it doesn't make them arbiters of right and wrong.

I love how judges in Cook County will dig hard for reasons to ignore witnesses and give a cop a bench acquittal when they're on trial for abusing their power. I love it more when one of those judges is up for retention election. Paul Pavlus = NOPE news.wttw.com/2023/06/16/d...
