The judge finds that because "defendants' conduct likely violates the First Amendnent," factors weigh in favor of entering a restraining order against them.

She will not limit the order to the Broadview facility, but will limit it to the northern (court) district of Illinois.

Break the relationship between T and Miller. Point out how what M is proposing actually hurts T in the long run, point out that mean things he said about him behind his back (real or not). T is a petulant/paranoid child. Disloyalty from enablers weakens their influence, then we pull out of this.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Pray for 60 Minutes. It is the most indispensable news entity we have and it is about to be overseen by someone who thinks we need to give equal weight to people who argue that the earth is flat and to people who argue that the earth is round.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

You're in for a hell of a read once you crack a book.

Before the presidents' faces were carved into Paha Sapa, it was also called the Six Grandfathers, Paha Sapa, of the Lakota. The US Government seized the land in 1877 after gold had been discovered there. President Grant secretly ordered the US Army not to protect Lakota from bounty hunters who collected up to $300 for each Native American they killed. The carving of four presidents into the hills took place in the 1920's funded in part by the Ku Klux Klan.

One thing that should also factor into your decision is the $$ support perpetuating that platform gives its owner. Personally, I feel like money talks louder than anything these days and I don’t want my money supporting him.

Note the ICE officer laughing at her. He says ICE must go after all immigrants bc they cannot find the criminal ones. Really? He is lying. States are not hiding criminals from ICE. Bless this woman. 1/2

“Kavanaugh Stop” May the term live on as his legacy.

Incredible. I’m not sure if @akalhan.bsky.social invented the term (he’s the first I saw use it) but regardless, for it to spread into normal life is truly remarkable.

I, for one, intend to continue to use it in professional communications.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Sending a note of sincere sympathy for career federal workers -- you have not deserved anything that his come your way since January 2025, and I hate that you are in this moment of uncertainty with the shutdown now -- your livelihood, your income, your worth, all of it is being assaulted by the GOP.

ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.”

ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.

Perhaps this is the perfect set-up for the troops to start thinking mutiny is the only morally respectable choice at this point.
