Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 2d

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Good morning Colorado!

Hello Colorado.

I am legitimately sad about Jane Goodall. I have always admired her as someone who had a level of compassion and interest that she kept throughout her whole life. She always approached her research with grace and curiosity, in today’s world that is an increasingly rare thing. I will miss seeing her.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 8d

Yeah, I’m not saying that.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 9d

I appreciate that, I’d lol anyway.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 9d

Oh no, what are we *supposed* to be doing?

Whew, glad I’m too fat and female for the military.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 11d

JFC the news.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 13d

I should have put that in quotes. I’m just dumbfounded every time I look at the news.

I can’t believe that Tylenol causes autism isn’t where we collectively decide that America has jumped the shark and we cancel it.

This is…just the dumbest time to be alive.

I had a really good day today, I’m pretty stoked to share that. ☺️

If anyone you knew in a position of “trust” wrote you paragraphs with letters in all caps over and over again… you would start to think they were DELULU.

The hypocrisy of the people supporting the felon is sucking my will to do anything productive.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 18d

So looks like boycotts work and still planning to boycott Disney since you sold out the first amendment. Thanks though.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 18d

Can’t, I have a big raging autism.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 21d

Here’s the spirit!!

We’re literally facing the choice between fascism and whether or not you can watch programs on Disney personally, I’d like my freedom of speech.

Gary Swergold MD, PhD @gs314.bsky.social · 22d

I can live without Disney.

I can live without CBS.

I can live without NBC.

America cannot live without the Freedom Of Speech

Just saw the ICE commercial in Denver. Bonuses of up to 50k? Targeting the local police force. I continue to be shocked by the disgusting tactics of this administration. No healthcare, education or social security but we can erase the culture from your community with endless funds.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.
