A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

The government doesn't get to decide if your protest is funny, and the government officials can’t punish you for making them the punchline.

May the Force and the First Amendment be with you.

Man detained for protesting National Guard with Star Wars song sues

Sam O’Hara filmed National Guard troops in D.C. while playing “The Imperial March” on his phone. He never thought his protest would lead to his being detained.

WTG JB Pritzker!

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 20h

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2025-06 to establish the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC), an independent board tasked with capturing and creating a public record of the conduct of federal law enforcement agents and recommending actions to hold the federal government accountable as they continue conducting military-style operations in Chicago, collar counties, and other areas throughout the state.

I am looking forward to this hearing.

It will provide an excellent opportunity to remind people of all the reasons why Donald Trump should he serving a long federal prison term.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?

Let the American people see & hear for themselves!

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Democracy requires decency.

Our democracy is devolving because we neglected to demand common decency of the most powerful individual in our country; the President.

Cuomo is disgusting.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 22h

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."
