For those that are cancelling their Disney, Hulu, and ESPN subscriptions, supporting PBS with the money we are saving is a great investment in trustworthy News.

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

@democracynow.org had @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and me on together to explain that she is not being sworn in because she is the 218th signatory for the release of the Epstein files. Swear her in today.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

How many ways does he have to show he doesn’t give a damn about working folks?!

Troops invading states. Sleeping kids woken up & zip-tied. Prices soaring. Insurance through the roof. Media muzzled. Personal enemies punished.

This isn’t America. This is what authoritarian rot looks like.

With fewer than 60 lawyers, we are currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states — a number that will almost certainly rise in the weeks to come. The only thing that could cause it to fall anytime soon would be court closures resulting from the Republican-caused government shutdown.

A healthy democracy, where the leader and his followers spent a week threatening the destruction of the UN because the president fucked up an escalator briefly, and we all just moved on largely because the president was busy invading his own people’s territory in part because he got mad at a tv

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 1d

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.
