On Tuesday evening, the Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV spoke out against anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States, as well as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s bellicose rhetoric.

# Trump escalated attacks on liberal #billionaire #GeorgeSoros - saying he and other #Democratic #donors be investigated for allegedly funding “#leftwing #terrorism,” despite no evidence; critics say the move weaponizes #antisemitic #tropes and aims to intimidate major #Democratic contributors ahead of the #2026midterms by making #Soros a #political #scapegoat and deterring donor support. #democracy #elections #martiallaw #maga #dictator #government #politics #constitution

Things to consider right now:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian-- it WILL matter.

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed. Now & later.

You are a witness.
We all are.
Expose the crimes.
Expose the brutality.
Expose what you see.

Judge Immergut’s decision ruled that plaintiffs who have sued to stop Trump and Hegseth from activating troops based in Oregon are very likely to win on their claims that neither the relevant National Guard statute nor the Constitution itself permit thus. In other words, she concluded that Trump would both usurp Congress’ authority and violate the sovereignty of the state of Oregon were he to federalize the Oregon National Guard. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ord.189270/gov.uscourts.ord.189270.56.0_1.pdf 6/

Never forget that the republican Speaker sent the House home, instead of having them work on a budget compromise, in order to avoid calls for release of the #Epstein files.

@AlliFlowers I'm a huge admirer of Jane Goodall, have been since she first appeared on the scene; have been since. If I had a flag I would lower it.

It is time for #JBPritzker to order the #NationalGuard to protect #protesters from the #Trump #Stormtroopers.

IL Gov JB Pritzker has shared that Trump called him to demand he activate the National Guard in Illinois, or Trump will activate the National Guard himself.

Illinois is at 310 per 100K in violent crime rate, well below the national average of 374 per 100K.

Meanwhile red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do blue states.

Trump isn't pushing national security, he's pushing fascist autocracy.

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump intends to call up 300 Illinois National Guard members over objections

Kat Abughazaleh: "Kristi Noem should have consequences - she should be tried at The Hague. What we are seeing from her operation are crimes against humanity. If this is what ICE operations entail, they should not be an agency in the United States."

@AlliFlowers yes!!! And I want a world where scientists are celebrated with a gala more impressive than Hollywood awards ceremonies

@AlliFlowers I remember the media trashing and victim blaming Dian Fossey after she was killed. She was "too aggressive" in her advocacy for mountain guerillas. Murdered for daring to be a woman in STEM.

@AlliFlowers

damned skippy. Marvelous idea.

@AlliFlowers

Instead we live in a world run by half-peeled bananas.

@AlliFlowers Ms Goodall was the ultimate! How we, as humans, basically ignored her work or gave it little importance is why we are where we are today. Your mime is perfect.
