You know if things get too rough out here in America, I think I’d like to migrate to Australia. They have universal healthcare, they generously support the arts, they have the best rock n roll bands past and present, the best venomous snakes, and they let you keep Koala Bears in your yard.

In a world of shit, this hits home in a magical way. I’ll take it.
A familiar sound echoed through Vatican City this week as Pope Leo XIV, a proud native of Dolton and a confirmed White Sox fan, was captured on video joining in a White Sox chant.
Holy homer: Pope Leo XIV joins White Sox chant in Vatican City
The Dolton native and confirmed Sox fan formerly known as Robert Prevost couldn’t help but get caught up in a White Sox chant earlier this week as he rode through Vatican City in the popemobile, video shows.

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:
-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare
(But get your mom flowers, too)

Disgusting display of authoritarianism

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

Imagine doing a 25 hour filibuster highlighting how terrible Trump is, but you don’t even mention Trump’s proposal to ethnically cleanse Gaza. 25 hours. Not even a passing reference to the 45 thousand dead using OUR tax dollars. No mention of the “Riviera of the Middle East”. It’s why we lose.

Just a ridiculously good ceramic vessel by one of my Hancock painting students, they just turned 18 and are going to UIC in the fall…kudos to their ceramics teacher Jesse Rosenbaum. Chicago Public School teachers for the win.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

I did exactly this. Please let this POS know he should just forget his presidential ambitions, he is permanently stained with Charlie Kirk stank.
Write to Gavin Newsom and tell him what a piece of shit he's being. These worms are just going to go where they're pushed, well we can push too. www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

You can contact the Governor a few different ways. The best way is through his online form.

To all my colored pencil people, your expensive Prismacolors are made in Mexico, and tomorrow the tariffs are supposed to kick in, if they haven’t already.

Why would anyone want to be a useless “Rubio”?
As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Musk sent an email to federal employees on Saturday night and told them to email the government a list of 5 things they did at work last week by this Monday night. Wouldn’t it be ironic if every person in America emailed HR@opm.gov and gave them a list of the 5 things they all did at work last week?

Refuse to take that 5K bribe Elon’s ketamine addled brain is cooking up. It’s a bribe, they’ll own you, and the massive inflation that’ll follow will make our current inflation look like child’s play. They’re setting it up to make the poor poorer, to break Americans, to make us subservient to them.
