Gov. Pritzker: comments on the federal invasion of Chicago:

[tblue37]

Pritzker: “Over the weekend, we received numerous confirmed reports of federal agents…abusing their power, intimidating innocent civilians, and waging war on our people…What I’ve been warning of is now being realized.”

Pritzker: “In any other country…If federal agents marched down busy streets harassing civilians and demanding their papers, what would we say? I don’t think we’d have any trouble calling it what it is: Authoritarianism.”

1. Border Patrol "commander" on who gets detained in Chicago. (It's how they look--racial profiling.)

A disgrace.

“‘Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?’ he said to the reporter, a middle-aged man of Anglo descent.”

7. It's all a big joke and fun and games for the Nazi bastards.

10. Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict

So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict.

They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning"

When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up.

13. Pritzker: "if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?"

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

4. I wish they would run into a parade of a hundred Chicago cops

Then have the cops demand they produce ID for parading around with weapons, and arrest their asses if they have none, and defend themselves if threatened.

5. Thats a BIG wish

8. I know. Mean and nasty

I have been hanging around too many Republicans.

6. My guess is a lot of Chicago cops are quitting their jobs and joining ICE. They have a lot of

crazy right wingers on the police force. Not all of the Chicago police. But, a lot of them are maga.

9. Bill Kristol "Our cities aren't war ravaged. They're ICE ravaged."

Our cities aren’t war ravaged. They’re ICE ravaged.

11. Nothing says Nobel Peace Prize like declaring war on your own people!

14. If you pick up the phone and ask, "What could be helpful?" the answer would not be the United States military:

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

12. I hope with all my heart he runs for president

Honest, ethical, impassioned and willing to stand up and fight for our country. A great American.
