I took a look

Newsom is prioritizing Twitter which is probably good because his press office is just a bunch of trolls

I think it’s funny Pritzker is focusing on Bluesky over Twitter

Who knows, but man, there are a *lot* of doomers in your replies. If I was American, I'd rather have someone willing to fight than someone kneeling before the altar of bipartisanship while getting steamrolled by a MAGA truck. In real life you don't get to choose flawless heroes.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Singing in Spanish and you're shitting yourself in terror? Crying like a little bitch because the road had a rainbow on it? Screaming hysterically that Portland has been invaded because the wizard frog gyrates at you? This is what the manosphere votes for? You mewling little fuckweasels.

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."

In Illinois, I helped ban conversion therapy for minors.

Now, Republicans and the Supreme Court are targeting Colorado’s ban, threatening to unravel protections nationwide.

I’ve won this fight before. And I’ll never back down when it comes to protecting LGBTQ+ communities.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

This act of violence by Trump’s masked DHS agents against a minister peacefully protesting reminds me of the darkest days of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

Now as then, we will not be intimidated.

Vallas would've had CPD attack the crowd protesting ICE after ICE shot a woman in Brighton Park, gassed onlookers, and then requested "assistance." It means something that Brandon Johnson did not betray us in that moment, and I won't forget it, even tho I've had my gripes with his administration.

Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social · 1d

Actually, it really matters whether your electeds are progressive. We are often frustrated on the left at what electeds can deliver, but we have to remember moments like this. Paul Vallas would NOT have created ICE free zones.

The TRiiBE @thetriibe.com · 2d

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.
