Yes he did. Sometimes you need a good chicken for resistance.

#Pritzker Mocks Trump on Kimmel
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker mocked US President Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel's TV show. In a video aired on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", the Democrat appeared in #Chicago wearing a body armor and ironically described how dangerous life supposedly is there.

"If they try to describe the situation as 'war-torn,' it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying that Noem is standing on the balcony looking at the Antifa army, and that it's eight journalists and five protesters, one of whom is wearing a chicken costume."

#Portland is now showing the world in their own unique way how absurd the claims about the alleged hellscape are. They're dancing through the streets in inflatable animal costumes, confronting National Guardsmen with colorful bouquets of flowers, posting videos of senior citizen groups playing music

It would be kind of laughable if the US president didn't use his rhetoric to then send his National Guard into the cities of Democratic politicians and intimidate the people who oppose his unconstitutional and inhumane policies. Pritzker calls it "Trump's invasion." #Pritzker #Chicago #Trump

What chaotic conditions prevail in #Chicago! #Pritzker apparently prefers to take to the streets of the US city wearing only a bulletproof vest. He can be seen wearing this during an appearance on late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel. The whole thing, of course, is just a #mockery of #Trump. #Germany

ICE troops act ruthlessly against immigrants, often brutally and in public spaces.

US President Donald Trump has already announced plans to deploy military forces to the city to protect ICE facilities. This move has so far been blocked by federal courts.

The Portland Chicken said in a newspaper interview with local media that they wanted to use the disguise to show that the immigration authorities' attempts at intimidation and their martial demeanor were not having an effect on the protesters.

Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security:
"That guy in the chicken costume? I'm just now seeing him. You can do better than that. Our goal is for people to protest peacefully, while we can simultaneously enforce the law in this country. It's a shame they're uneducated and ill-informed."

For several days, people have been protesting in front of an ICE building in Portland, Oregon. Arrests have also been made.

Frogs vs. ICE?

A creative protest against the US immigration authority ICE in Portland. And the contrast could hardly be greater: demonstrators in fun costumes face masked, heavily armed officers.

On social media, users are celebrating videos of the so-called Portland Frog Brigade –

OK, Pete Hegseth’s an idiot. He left out the word “training” when he said we’re building a Qatari Air Force facility. So I get why people were confused after his announcement yesterday, but I keep seeing folks repeat some version of “Qatar is building an airbase in Idaho.”

That’s not happening.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.
