The antics make disturbing sense if you learn more about the Federalist Society. youtube.com/clip/Ugkx_sr... (Skip to 2-minute mark.) Minus Ketanji and Sotomayor, the goal seems pretty clear. Sadly.

Same! Any other year, I would be saying "President Pritzker," but you have to have a certain type of personality to not tap out as governor with Trump obsessing over you. The fact that he is not hurting for cash certainly helps too. 🤷‍♀️ 👌 Rich with a conscience? 🤜

As a lifelong Chicagoan who is #GenX and have been following geopolitics & the putrid #DemMachine all my 🤬 life I would PREFER @jbpritzker.bsky.social to stay Govenor to protect our IL from GOP fuckery...but if he wants to run...as a HIGHLY EDUCATED Voter & part of the 92%...He can get MY vote!

Alexandra is among the people who lost their jobs for posting about the conservative influencer's death. She described the online mob that got her fired as "state-sponsored censorship."

Poor grouse, sitting there minding its own business. I mean, sure if you need to kill that bird to feed the family. For sport? Yeah, maybe clay targets. They don't feel a thing when you blow the shit out of them, Tim.

This is some WILD SHIT. You hit HER car, draw guns on HER, drag her out of her car and then arrest HER.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

The shock value stats are annoying as hell. I am not in the mood for them today. There is a segment of people who voted for Kamala Harris but are opposed to the War in Gaza and definitely have a real issue with weapons being sent and transportation blocked to feed and protect innocent kids.

Shamontiel @shamontiel.bsky.social · 14h

I'm waiting on you to actually respond to THAT part. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Not just "like" and reshare. ⌚ 🕒 Cause right now it sounds like you DGAF about innocent people dying and kids starving, and just want to rant about Trump supporters.

Almost 55,000 children under the age of six in Gaza are estimated to be acutely malnourished. If that does not bother you, so be it. But I 💯 do NOT agree with Biden sending weapons to help Israel starve these people ... and watched Kamala Harris' views on this topic. She let me down in "107 Days."
