I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

Trump is now viciously attacking the bishop who asked him to have mercy on immigrants and LGBTQ people, suggesting she is not a real bishop and demanding she apologize.

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social

One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

Chicago Police have said they won't assist in Donald Trump's ICE mass deportation raids.

Know your rights and make a plan.

Pass it on to folks you know in Illinois.

THATS RIGHT THATS MY GOVERNOR
Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional.

In Illinois, we follow the law.

This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.

President Trump’s executive orders kicked off a round of objections from opponents, scholars and other groups that said he’d exceeded the limits of his presidential power.

They included some critics who filed lawsuits before his signatures were dry.
Trump’s executive orders already face pushback, legal challenges
The orders include some actions that scholars and legal experts say may beyond the reach of the president’s pen and could be tied up in courts or legislatures for years

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

In grade school, I wondered to myself how the people of Germany let the Nazis ascend to power. And here we all are, finding out firsthand. #elon #fdt

Ah, yes. Just some silly and fun musicals. No deeper meaning….
Some great, super random musical recommendations (that may or may not happen to feel especially relevant right now):

- Cabaret
- Newsies
- Les Misérables

My introduction to #booksky I guess?

📚 Reading is political
🎧 Audiobooks count as reading
📖 Reading is not a competition
🤔 Reading critically & reading for fun are not mutually exclusive
👉 If you support problematic authors, you deserve to be called out on it
🚫 Toxic positivity can eff off

“The important thing is we didn’t panic.” 😂

(All joke’s aside, I think TikTok changed irrevocably last night, or will very soon. So, I am still sad and still consider that the real finale of an amazing few years. I would love to be wrong.)
