If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

I don't get the determination to make Columbus relevant to US history. He never set foot on US soil. He "discovered" a place where millions of people lived and vikings and Irish fishermen knew about. He thought he visited India until his deathbed. His contemporaries considered him a violent weirdo.

A quote from John Lennon that says “ when it gets down to having to use then you are playing the system’s game The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you the only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.

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."

Just tuned in to Trump’s AF1 gaggle. On Hamas shooting Palestinians in the streets, he says “they’re keeping order since 2M are returning home to Gaza, it’ll be all alright”.

I won’t share the graphic footage, but it doesn’t resemble “order” by any stretch of imagination.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Chicago Marathon is this weekend and run chat boards are on fire with folks worried about missed flights and Donald Trump is not prepared to deal with marathoners who miss a race cause of air traffic controller sick outs.
