Pledge of the woke patriot:

“I believe all people are created equal, and that we are stronger together than we are apart. Out of many parts we form one country, and I promise to protect the diversity of America or so help me God”

It’s so crazy to me that many men are so insecure

It would be more convincing to treat Covid as a mass disabling disease if there were substantial evidence for it demonstrated in the public

It’s been 5 years and while Covid presents unique problems it has not proven to be that debilitating

Curious what data you are using to make your rational assessment of the threat environment, because all of the actual scientific data shows that this SARS virus remains extremely dangerous to every organ system in the body, regardless of vac status, and more than 50% of spread is asymptomatic.

I don’t think this is true I think primary voters are bad judges of value

This is certainly true, and I hope he beats Janet Mills!

If Platner can't beat Janet Mills he probably can't beat Sue Collins.

Public service is a year-round job.

While Springfield stalls, we’re out here doing the work: rallying in Lakeview, knocking doors in Lincoln Park, fighting for our neighbors all day, every day.

I’m running for State Senate to bring that urgency to Springfield.

Illinois lawmakers are back in Springfield for veto session—the short stretch when they return to address unfinished business.
But will they do anything bold? Or keep kicking the can while our communities struggle with transit cuts, ICE raids, and funding crises?

DIMON, on Tricolor:

".. my antenna goes up when things like that happen. .. I probably shouldn't say this, but when you see one cockroach, you will probably see more. And so everyone should be forewarned."

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Where would this business be, if it wasn’t for “pretending not to understand things you understand very well, just so you can squeal and snort and be a prick about it”?
