Saw comments saying "he's the only one speaking up" and I wanted to SCREAM because Pritzker is RIGHT THERE

Yes, I've heard them! I'm hoping they release them in full, or release an update outside of the bonus content so I can share. I think a lot of people simply don't know who she is, or they've read a piece or two that sounds reasonable and think she's fine.

ICE raids were reported at a local college a block away from where I work today.

Went over to check things out, and it would appear if anything went down it was over before I got there. Frightening nonetheless.

People in the Chicago burbs think they are safe, but they are not. None of us are.

I am not exaggerating when I say she is one of the most diabolically evil people in this nation...and given our government, that's saying something.

American health insurance is getting your appeal denied 3 months after you claimed it because the treatment "wasn't medically necessary" even though your doctor requested it 👍

Jordan Emmons @joremmons.bsky.social · Jun 30

American health insurance is receiving treatment you were told would either be covered or would be in the $150 range, receiving no bill for it, then nearly 8 months later being told insurance paid $130 and getting hit with a $780 invoice for the rest. 👍

And just because someone says "I'm a liberal" does not make it so! It's almost like reading critically and looking at people's actions is important or something

Oh yeah, if there is anything horrible in the political blogosphere, chances of her being behind it is high. I'm appalled at all the very well-meaning people praising her in comments this week

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

hAVe YoU tRieD dRinKinG WaTeR 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I truly cannot. People really can't help being massively unhelpful. I wish I had a way to make things better, but please know I'm sending you and kitty all the love and solidarity. ❤️

The venn diagram of people who think Bari Weiss is a fair/balanced journalist and people who think Charlie Kirk was a fair/skilled debater is a circle.

Watching my swifties go from "we love her because she's a deep lyricist" to "we love her because these lyrics mean nothing" is wild, glad you all are having fun tho

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

We live in a dictatorship and my neighbors are getting kidnapped, and I'm paralyzed to do basic tasks like laundry and making a doctor's appointment, but the Cubs advanced to the NLDS so God Bless America I think

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org

Brooke Rollins claims the Trump administration has canceled "up into the billions of dollars" in grants for things like "transgender woke BIPOC food justice."

In better news, I found my mom's pie crust recipe 🥧 That's it. That's the only good news I have.

Heard that my old church prayed for Charlie Kirk as a martyr. Went online to see it. They edited the online content to start right after the prayer so there isn't any record of it.

How utterly chicken shit. If you're going to embrace the values of a white nationalist, don't hide it?
