The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader who has become a symbol of democratic resistance against an increasingly authoritarian regime, even as she has been forced into hiding and barred from holding public office.

Quid Pro Qatar Quo

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

I'm sorry, but what's wrong with giving health care to immigrants? Republicans don't even want to give health care to citizens, but I don't understand the argument against keeping people who contribute billions of dollars to the economy healthy. It's also less expensive in the long run.

Congress must fight back. Ask your senators to stand up for safety projects for everyone whether they bike, walk, roll, take transit or drive.

You can find a form to compose a letter to your Senators here: bikeleague.org/take-action/... @bikeleague.org

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social was thrown to the ground by ICE agents during a Chicago protest.

“That is what these officers are willing to do when there is press and cameras around," she says, adding that they are "committing human rights abuses" inside.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
