“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.
Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Re-reading Frederick Douglass's words following the Dred Scott decision:

"You will readily ask me how I am affected by this devilish decision-this judicial incarnation of wolfishness? My answer is, and no thanks to the slaveholding wing of the Supreme Court, my hopes were never brighter than now.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp.

Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists.

Make it make sense.

So sick of people lazily insulting him by calling him some variation of overweight. You don't even have to get creative to insult him in a million ways that don't further the body shaming (mostly) women have been victim to for decades. It's not about him, it's about US.
Hear us out: words matter. We can insult him in 1947 ways without commenting on his weight. Plenty of people on the side of the USA, like us, will feel words like this apply to them too, and so will be a party to you using these words as insults. Be more creative.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Yet he died believing the novel was a failure. Imagine.

Anyway, when you're wondering if you're good enough to write something, just write the damn thing for your own pleasure. Get it out there. If the world is ready for it, great. If they aren't, who gives a shit?

Just write it.
