Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate 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 that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

“A double-tap strike… Israel has killed more journalists in Gaza than all journalists killed in wars since World War 2 combined…”

There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.
Whales are dying, but it’s not because of wind farms
Investigating a whale beaching is grueling work, and scientists see the same culprit again and again.

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations.

Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes.

Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

BREAKING: We're filing a petition for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who is being detained by ICE because of his reporting on law enforcement activity.

The First Amendment is clear: Journalists cannot be detained for doing their jobs.

I decided to look at all 66 prosecutor elections this fall.

Why? Prosecutors have huge power over sentencing, charging, second chances, and even immigration implications.

Here's everything you need to know, from East to West Coast. New from me:
Your Guide to the 2025 Prosecutor Elections - Bolts
Most of November's prosecutor races feature just one candidate, as usual. But key races will shape the politics of criminal justice, from Philly to Seattle — plus a wild card in New Jersey.

The prosecutor of Newport News, VA, served 35 yrs without *ever* facing a reelection challenger!

In June, he faced his 1st challenger in 9 bids, Shannon Jones, a Black woman who won by 15%.

So many latinos, what a shame. It's really disturbing to see so many POCS. What a bunch of disappointments.

It is unbelievable to me that brown ppl will work for ICE. So, do they have a safe word when they're out in public, in case their own masked ppl try to grab them?
