Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

If you have a good think and decide you really don’t mind being conquered it’s hard to continue on from there. That’s an endgame decision.

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

My sources say prison, for gross negligence, being considered for Chuck Schumer. I am pro-negligence and take no pleasure in reporting this.

The idea that we need to cut off funding for hospitals to make sure undocumented immigrants can’t get treated there is real “this society does not want to survive” stuff

We are going to be doing Stardew Valley in real life, and doing it very strongly. We’re going to be harvesting crops, dating villagers, killing creatures in the mines.

A resident of a nearby building asks a very important question:

“You claim you have warrants, but do you have a warrant to seize the entire building?” she asked the agents. “Do you have warrants to detain the entire building?”

Or: do people lose their rights if they live near undocumented people?

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

It’s funny that they ride around with their masks up like they dare not reveal their identities even to each other. I picture them on their lunch breaks (surely luxurious) trying to sieve sauce packets through the fabric.

Re: TRON. "What is the ineffable Leto Quality?" is a phrase that comes back to me often

Old tweet from me in 2021 screenshotting a trending topic abojt Jared Leto. I say: "I simply don't understand why this keeps happening. There's *nothing there* that a thousand other actors couldn't be doing, and with less baggage. What is the ineffable Leto Quality? What is the actual upside? Ironically this may turn me into the Joker"

lmao why would he do it this way even. "well, look, transphobes who are somehow open to voting for me: i could've very easily stopped this bill from becoming law, but i didn't. the important thing is that my name isn't personally on it, i think we can all agree"

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 19h

Misspoke earlier when I said not signing is a veto--i checked and it's true that if Newsom does indeed never sign the bills, they become law.

gincalesq.bsky.social @gincalesq.bsky.social · 19h

Also, under CA law, if he doesn’t veto them they become law. He doesn’t need to sign them for them to go into effect. Newsom is trash, but this article missed some important details.
