At 3pm today, the Chicago Bar Association released their final rating for Judge E. Kenneth Wright Jr: “Not Recommended”
“…it was concerning to the Committee that a sitting Cook County judge has had a driver’s license for over 40 years that lists a Will County address…”
@EricMGarcia The only chance to go back to normal would've been to elect Hillary in 2016. We whiffed on that hard and we're going to keep paying for it for decades to come.
Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of “Killing In The Name”. The nice lady said, “I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!” I said, “Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.” She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking.
Just so everybody knows what happens next: some liberal of color will crack a joke about how dangerous MAGA is and the MAGA panelist will claim to feel threatened and demand retribution and CNN will capitulate to the stupid false equivalency because MAGA must be appeased always.
The mayor of Nabatieh, one of the largest & most vibrant towns in south #Lebanon, has been killed in an #Israel’i airstrike. Panicked messages from first responders: “They hit the municipality. The mayor’s inside. They’re all inside, no one left alive. Everyone’s been killed.”
In Michigan, tribal leaders and environmental activists have been fighting for decades to stop Enbridge’s environmental destruction and shut down Line 5. We will not allow greedy polluters to continue to exploit our water for profit or endanger our Great Lakes.
This Indigenous Peoples' Day, I'm thinking of the beautiful Ojibwe people, and the land and water defenders, resisting the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline from destroying their wetlands.
From Turtle Island to Palestine, water is a human right.

Popping back over here to pester of a few of my remaining favs to come over to the cerulean place. It's so much calmer and more chill, and it's grown massively in the past couple months. @ArtfulEmma@tamarahvt@soundcube @scottcolesbyjr
Russian weapons destroy hospitals and schools and displaced civilians in Ukraine.
American weapons destroy hospitals and schools and displaced civilians in Palestine.
But one of these is fine with you, because you like the people who are doing this?
