Some people got angry at this post a few days ago, but I don’t know what to tell you. It really sucks but false heroes give false hope. Pritzker has said some great things and his lawsuits vs feds seems righteous but having HIS cops brutalize people makes a joke of it.

Are you stopping them? Doesn’t look like it.

Analysis is 100% right but it’s important not to blow smoke when your citizens are getting brutalized. Maybe all the people saying the governor has no legit way of actually stopping them are correct! But if you can’t, then don’t claim you are.

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

Humanities majors know that they don't have the knowledge base to do engineering; but engineers don't know that they don't know enough to do humanities.

Think about how for decades, one of the ingredients of a crackpot was: retired engineer.

Retired engineers, for *generations* have been a fertile ground for crackpot theories in everything.

They get that golden watch and bam, incoherent manifesto about quantum archeology inbound.

…and I would note that autistic joy is a thing regardless of an autistic person's support profile. My high-support autistic son is capable of more joy than anyone I've ever met.

Trump, 79, has "cardiac age" of 65-year-old, doctor says

Donald Trump was found to be in "exceptional health" in a medical evaluation, the U.S. president's doctor said in a memo released by the White House on Friday, with his "cardiac age" 14 years younger than in "chronological age."

Conservatives say we should run the government like a business, but they always ignore a vital part of running a business: INTERNAL CONTROLS to curb abuse and waste and fraud.

Think of the US Supreme Court as an internal control that has failed so miserably that it INCREASES abuse and fraud.

The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body.

Leah Litman @leahlitman.bsky.social · 1d

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

I'd start by pressuring elected officials to stop recognizing the authority of the court. Supporting officials who promise to fix it once in power and to refuse to recognize any of its rulings since at least 2015 as valid. And investigate, charge, prosecute, and convict its extremist members.
