Never knew what a stand up guy Pritzker was. Love how he doesn't bow down to bullies.

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."

Autistic meltdowns aren’t tantrums.

They’re the bodymind saying “I can’t hold this anymore".

They’re overload.

Pressure leaving the system.

You don’t need punishment.

You need safety.

ICE is an untrained vigelante army of men who had no job and are now being paid well to meet a quota. Children count. Elderly count. Citizens count. As long as they're brown or black, the quota is met.

Yes, and ICE is an untrained vigelante army of men who had no job and are now being paid well to meet a quota. Children count. Elderly count. Citizens count. As long as they're brown or black, the quota is met.

Record warm ocean temperatures continued in September across the North Pacific Ocean, with a number of consequential impacts (including on downstream weather patterns).

This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every September from 1854-2025 using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data.

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each September from 1850 through 2025 for only the midlatitude region of the North Pacific Ocean. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is a record high.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.
