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.
The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.
‘Maybe we need the same level of turmoil and concern when innocent kids are killed in school. Everyone’s talking about Charlie Kirk. Maybe we should be taking about all the kids who’ve been shot’ - my 16yo’s comment
It's amazing that ICE can use the color of your skin to profile for your arrest, but universities can't use it to understand the background that you grew up in.
Look, I don’t know why this is so complicated for people When a man says violence against women isn’t a crime, they told you who they are, and you can believe it or you can explain it away, but then you know who you are, too The misogyny was always a core point

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
A voice of sanity within this absolutely insane ruling. The SCOTUS has officially corrupted itself. The fascist, police state is here.
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · 11mo agoBREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.
RFK Jr. has fired all members of the Preventive Services Task Force, which requires insurance companies to cover certain treatments. The Supreme Court ruled he could do so in June. Likely next step: Appointing quacks who will end mandatory insurance coverage for PrEP. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

In light of today’s news about the National Cancer Institute announcing a 4% payline, it’s really important to communicate to people that the previous 10% payline was still effectively a lottery and the result of decades of underfunding the NIH. Paylines used to be 25%.
