Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 15h

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

In a Chicago suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE goons and a cameraman surrounded a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demanded his ID and threatened to arrest him for impeding their audit.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

EVERY dem should run on tearing down EVERYTHING that was trump. Every shred of gold leaf out of the White House. His library torn down before it is up. His billion dollar plane, chopped into pieces. A hall of shame created in the Smithsonian so future generations know how close we came.
