JB Pritzker Is Looking At Prosecuting ICE Agents

Gov. JB Pritzker had a message for any ICE agents who are abusing their power in Illinois. Someday, the tables will turn, and they will be prosecuted.

I feel like I’m the last person left on this planet who doesn’t pronounce the word “didn’t” as “dinnent.”

Hahaha. Names were named. Careers are already being destroyed over this. Chef’s kiss.

One thing that never gets old for me is watching conservatives run face-first into the reality that their opinions are very much not mainstream anymore and every normal person thinks they’re vile. lol.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Innocent bystanders??? These red states voted for this. It’s the voters’ fault. Fuck them, I hope their businesses all fail. Sucks to be you!

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Fuck yeah, Obama is all in on retaliatory gerrymandering.

I hate gerrymandering and it needs to be the second thing to go in the revolution, right after Citizens United, but if it’s the tool we have right now, we might as well use it.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I agree! I think he’s the face of the new political vibe of most of America. We want politicians who prioritize our communities, not their own careers.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

I like to play the audiobooks of authors I admire while I sleep so I can prune my subconscious in their general direction.

How to spoof your location for Pokémon Go and other purposes like scrambling 🧊’s data

Alex Schlat @alexschlat.bsky.social · 3d

Sure just becareful because Niantic does punish heavily for location spoofing. (Like perma bans :/ )

First you'll have to put your phone into developer mode/options.

Then youll have to get something from the google play store like "Fake GPS Location"

Then back in your phones developer options 1/?

Man, I love John Crowley. He always writes the wildest shit that’s just a big fat fuck-you to materialism but dressed up as fiction. I want to be like him when I grow up.

It has been upsetting watching the establishment hurl itself at Mamdani but I think the other way to read that is that there really is a *better* politics possible and he shows that it is REAL.

We could have this.

They wouldn't fight it so hard if it wasn't achievable.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

As much as I love Victoria and have loved living there for the past three years, I have to say I’m not sad about coming back to Friday Harbor. This is such a beautiful, peaceful, chill, LIBERAL place. I’ve always felt so good here.

Republicans did the same thing with Nixon. They backed everything he did and defended him even against obvious crimes until his support declined among the base, and only then did they turn on him. They are utterly feckless and totally lacking in morality. Disgusting slime molds.
