NEW INFO ABOUT THE MOTION THAT LUIGIāS PA LAWYER, TOM DICKEY, RECENTLY FILED ABOUT THE UNLAWFULLY OBTAINED EVIDENCE:
from r/FreeLuigi
There are people ā some in my own Party ā who think that if you just give Donald Trump everything he wants, heāll make an exception and spare you some of the harm. Iāll ignore the moral abdication of that position for just a second to say ā almost none of those people have the experience with this President that I do. I once swallowed my pride to offer him what he values most ā public praise on the Sunday news shows ā in return for ventilators and N95 masks during the worst of the pandemic. We made a deal. And it turns out his promises were as broken as the BIPAP machines he sent us instead of ventilators. Going along to get along does not work ā just ask the Trump-fearing red state Governors who are dealing with the same cuts that we are. I wonāt be fooled twice.
Iāve been reflecting, these past four weeks, on two important parts of my life: my work helping to build the Illinois Holocaust Museum and the two times Iāve had the privilege of reciting the oath of office for Illinois Governor.
As some of you know, Skokie, Illinois once had one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors anywhere in the world. In 1978, Nazis decided they wanted to march there.
The leaders of that march knew that the images of Swastika clad young men goose stepping down a peaceful suburban street would terrorize the local Jewish population ā so many of whom had never recovered from their time in German concentration camps.
The prospect of that march sparked a legal fight that went all the way to the Supreme Court. It was a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who argued the case for the Nazis ā contending that even the most hateful of speech was protected under the first amendment.
As an American and a Jew, I find it difficult to resolve my feelings around that Supreme Court case ā but I am grateful that the prospect of Nazis marching in their streets spurred the survivors and other Skokie residents to act. They joined together to form the Holocaust Memorial Foundation and built the first Illinois Holocaust Museum in a storefront in 1981 ā a small but important forerunner to the one I helped build thirty years later.
I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. But I know the history intimately ā and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Hereās what Iāve learned ā the root that tears apart your houseās foundation begins as a seed ā a seed of distrust and hate and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didnāt arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
Iām watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. A president who watches a plane go down in the Potomac ā and suggests ā without facts or findings ā that a diversity hire is responsible for the crash. Or the Missouri Attorney General who just sued Starbucks ā arguing that consumers pay higher prices for their coffee because the baristas are too āfemaleā and ānonwhite.ā The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who donāt look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.
I just have one question: What comes next? After weāve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities ā once weāve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends ā After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face ā what comes next.
All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we donāt want to repeat history ā then for Godās sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.
I swore the following oath on Abraham Lincolnās Bible: āI do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor .... according to the best of my ability.
My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We donāt have kings in America ā and I donāt intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions ā but in deference to my obligations.
If you think Iām overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this:
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All Iām saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
Those Illinois Nazis did end up holding their march in 1978 ā just not in Skokie. After all the blowback from the case, they decided to march in Chicago instead. Only twenty of them showed up. But 2000 people came to counter protest. The Chicago Tribune reported that day that the ārally sputtered to an unspectacular end after ten minutes.ā It was Illinoisans who smothered those embers before they could burn into a flame.
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the ātragic spirit of despairā overcome us when our country needs us the most.

How to be a trans ally 101, from To Wong Foo (1995)
i'm reminded of those posts from trans women who stated in their experiences that by far most cis women they interact with in person aren't transphobic towards them. and that recent study that showed the uk population is more accepting of trans people than they perceive each other to be (ie 2 uk polls, "do you think most people are trans friendly" vs "are you trans friendly"). i think there's more love and acceptance in this world than transphobes want you to believe. you are not as hated as legislators and conservative news outlets would lead you to believe.

For no reason here is a library story
There will be millions of actions like this over the coming years. An important thing to remember is that for them to work (anywhere, not just libraries) is people absolutely canāt announce that this is what they are doing.
Not seeing constant acts of resistance doesnāt mean it isnāt happening all around you all the time. Some very effective methods require silence and secrecy.
Something to keep in mind.
Carry on. Nothing to see here.

āthe good news is you can donate to PBS directly yourself. When they say āmade possible by viewers like you,ā they mean it.
PBS is not one monolith out of DC or Los Angeles. Itās dozens of regional nonprofits working together as a network to produce content dedicated to telling meaningful stories about the communities you live in, made by people in your community, with the purpose of uplifting underrepresented communities in a respectful and nuanced way that isnt clickbait or rage bait-y. as intended by their national founding charter. And some of that programming, yes, just so happens to be nationally syndicated and distributed.
Watch PBS and donate. You can even stream it through your local channel on their national app thatās available on iOS, Android, Roku, and etc.
This sounds like an ad but I swear itās not. I just fucking love PBS ok. And it doesnāt get nearly as much appreciation as it deserves.
The US economy genuinely might collapse within a week. lol
>AI Bubble bursting
>Tariffs being hit and coming to effect monday
>Elon Musk probably somehow trying to funnel the US treasury entirely into his bank accounts and probably fucking it up
Muskās allies repeatedly demanded access to sensitive government payment systems, according to the Washington Post.
A source claimed the DOGE director has seized control of the computer system that manages all government personnel.
Bad news!
Bad news!
Bad news!
Thereās something so⦠funny about the governmentās budget being slashed by a ketamine addicted moron of a nazi. Itās so blatantly insane. The economy absolutely is going to collapse next week. Musk might be assassinated by the CIA by Tuesday and Iām barely kidding there.
likes to charge and reblogs to cast for musk being assassinated by the CIA <3
