If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Americans can't afford groceries or health care.

But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump.

It's a fucking shame that he's gotten away with all he has, but it's also true that he thinks he can get away with anything. Let's hope something bites him in the ass.

Of course they did. Did anyone expect they wouldn't? I have no faith in any of the branches of our government right now.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document."

Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Reinstate Jimmy Kimmel and stop caving to authoritarian censorship!

hypothetically, if fucking a dog meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections, i would ask how you know the causality of that relationship, because if you can't explain how it verifiably does+will work, i gotta be real with you, it just sounds like you're looking for permission to fuck a dog.

Hypothetically. If complimenting trump meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections and the Dems would sweep Congress in a landslide , would you compliment Trump ?

Or, Is is that thought so abhorrent, you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. Even at the expense of staying the minority?
