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”

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

Buttadeus @thewanderingjew.bsky.social · 15h

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:

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”?

when I was like 12 I went to the California science center which had a "drunk driving simulator" educational arcade type game and if you were too good at it the game would automatically crash the car after a while so you didnt undermine their message

Yeah -seems to be getting worse as well. A couple of bullet points is about the maximum a lot of senior people seem to be capable of digesting. As for nuance, complexity... that's dead and buried.
