I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

Good discussion with @gregsargent.bsky.social on No Kings and the right to protest: "They’re trying to turn it into something really evil. But that’s because they’re scared of it, and they know it turns public opinion... I think they should be worried, because nothing they’re doing is popular."

How about 12 million Americans protesting on Saturday. That’s 3.5 percent of our population…and the beginning of a real response to the authoritarian disease.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Apparently, the Coast Guard is getting paid.

- Do we know where the money is coming from?
- Apparently, R&D funds.

- Is this legal?
- Probably not, but that doesn't mean anything.

-Is this only for this paycheck, if the shutdown lasts?
- No clue.

“I walked halfway to the shelter, and heard an explosion. I was thrown back. They took me to the hospital, found glass in my eye, and performed surgery. There is a chance that my vision will return to normal.”

Ukrainian energy workers are absolute heroes.
They repair power lines under shelling, at night, in freezing rain, so our cities can have light again.
No one in Europe would risk their lives like that.
Thank you, energy heroes. 🔥❤️ #UkraineWarriors
