People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Hi

ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday

If you have any national platform at all

My “Affordable” Care Act plan renewal is 80% (!!!) higher for 2025, and that is *with* subsidies. Once ACA gets repealed, or at the very least, the subsidies are allowed to sunset, things will get even more ridiculous. Considering Opolis - anyone a member or former member?

Twitter has become too much of a hellscape so I’m trying Bluesky again.

The Ultrawide Mac Virtual Display mirroring on #AppleVisionPro shines for driving games. Video doesn't really do it justice, but I tried to look back and forth to show the extent of the screen.

(Game is Asphalt 8: Airborne, apps.apple.com/us/app/aspha...)

Finally, some good news for the beleaguered "multinational elites all over the world", as Global Tetrahedron acquires InfoWars.
