Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Man, reading some crypto forums, Democrats should be hammering the insider trading charges. It reminded me of that times focus group where the main frustration with guys into crypto was the rug pulls/insider stuff. cc @jlray.bsky.social

Time for folks to drop SalesForce and for the nonprofits and academics @marcbenioff.bsky.social funds to speak out. No cooptation by folks openly calling for fascism and city invasions.

Me, a very smart federal judge, “but should we really have any right to put a check on the fascism of Dear Leader?”

Catholic priests, nuns and lay leaders marched to Broadview in hopes of delivering Holy Communion to detainees at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility. But the group’s Communion request was rebuffed.

Brown University apparently needs input before (possibly) showing the spine that MIT did in not kowtowing to Trump.

Please let them know your thoughts and share this widely. Especially alum, students, staff, and faculty.

Share your thoughts with the University about the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.”

Nothing like the Black mayor of Chicago speaking against the federal war on Chicago to bring out the biggest phalanx of bigots I’ve ever seen on social media, and pretty clearly from all over the country and beyond.

“As the formerly western democratic nation fell into authoritarianism, major media began treating the deceit of the fascist regime as it were simply a ‘different perspective’ from the actual daily reality of the people, and so became a key tool for strengthening the regime’s grip over the nation”

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 1d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

As @danimmergluck.bsky.social and I have been saying to anyone who'll listen, it's a very bad idea.

Mayor Dickens big plan would ultimately cost taxpayers more

Dickens recently said he wants to extend the city’s tax allocation districts to fund revitalization in under-served neighborhoods. But schools and the city stand to lose.
