@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Trump must work with Russia to stick with New START. This nuclear treaty—the only legal limit on Russian nuclear forces—expires in less than 100 days. No one wants a new nuclear arms race.

When Anthony van Dyck visited painter Sofonisba Anguissola in 1625, she was (she told him) 96 years old. He says she was still sharp as a tack! He drew her & then made this painting. Today was her day.

I was very happy to see a lovely Wood Duck couple noodling around on Central Park's Harlem Meer this morning. The Wood Duck is the only North American duck that regularly produces two broods per year. Good luck with that, guys! 💚💙🧡 #ducks #CentralPark #birding

Folks, a famous author isn't ever going to contact you out of the blue to offer you literary services. It's always a scam. Also, speaking as an at least semifamous author, you wouldn't want any services we did offer, we're just barely handling our own shit, much less anyone else's.
I've now heard from 3 authors targeted on X by a scammer impersonating Lois McMaster Bujold. Bujold impersonator refers author to "Eleanor Wood at Spectrum Literary", also an impersonation. Goal: to sell editing svcs. Scam is impersonating multiple authors & agents writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.

Do you know who is paying for Trump’s ballroom?
Amazon
Google
Apple
Meta
And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now.
So are these companies getting special favors in return? I’m pressing for answers.
