Democracy! Fairness is under attack. History and weather nerd. Live music makes me very happy.

Votes are in, from a 48-hour “X” poll. While we can surely agree we want to Make America Great Again. To achieve that goal, looks like we need to Make America Smart. But first, we need to Make Lying Wrong Again.

My family too.

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

HANES is exporting their products from their 350,000-square-foot El Salvador textile plant to the US. — you do not get to stand by and watch human rights violations. What’s next? Hanes using prisoners as their labor force? Return Garcia to America! #BOYCOTTHANES !

Did you know Hanes is El Salvador’s biggest importer? • They can use their economic influence to pressure Bukele to release Kilmer Garcia • Stop making products in a country willing to imprison American citizens without due process Call and tell them you will #BoycottHanes 👇🏼

President of El Salvador & Trump openly affirmed yesterday -AGAIN- that Trump would like to render AMERICAN CITIZENS to notorious prison in El Salvador & El Salvador would love to take them. 1/3 #kilmargarcia #clawsout #nokings #elsalvador #project2025 #supremecourt #handsoff #doge #dueprocess

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Pete Hegseth|Mike Waltz|Tulsi Gabbard|Marco Rubio & JD Vance endangered our service members by discussing war plans on an illegal Signal chat that was so insecure that a reporter from The Atlantic read the whole thing as it happened. Resign Immediately #SignalGate 🖊️ IKEA HAS BETTER CABINETS 2/3🧵

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Found another polite disagreement bot. Check out its profile and the replies so you know what to look for. Then block it and others you find like it.

. Marches & calls are cute, but they’re not enough anymore. If you want to stop this dictatorship in the making, it’s time to show up at your representative’s office. make them hear YOU in person. He’s creating a dictatorship in our face. Are we really gonna let that happen? .

Reporter: On Pete Hegseth and the IG investigation, do you want to comment on that? On the Signal app Trump: Don’t bring that up again

Yesterday, TX Rep. Keith Self (R) quoted Nazi Joseph Goebbels on controlling public opinion🤬 Using Nazi propaganda is more than vile; it’s a flashing red siren. This is how democracy dies: not with a bang, but with silence in the face of fascist rot. America, do not be silent. Call out evil.

The asinine “Liberation Day” gimmick is going to take us over an economic cliff. My Republican colleagues know Trump has no damn idea what he’s doing. Enough! Band together and speak the hell up.

So let me get this straight: as he was framing Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic as lowlife scum for accurately reporting on him, Mike Waltz was frantically checking his _19_ other secret, national security-threatening Signal chats to make sure he hadn't accidentally invited any journalists to those?

Because he hates America for not giving him that second term, he says it was stolen, but he knows he lost it, he felt humiliated he will punish them just like he punished his wife for suggesting he have scalp replacement. He eventually buried her at his golf course in an untended grave.

Sen. Jim Banks on the job held by a fired federal worker he mocked: "It was a woke job." Then in the next breath Banks admits he doesn't know what his job actually was.

We knew that you don't title “Houthi PC Small Group” if it was the first time. This is an egregious pattern that makes it clear: These people obviously cannot keep our servicemembers—or any of us—safe.

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

bay12.bsky.social reposted

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

Signal for classified attack plans against Houthi rebels. Now, Gmail for “sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict.” Might as well shout it from the rooftops. The carelessness is staggering – and makes all of us less safe.
