Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Illinois gov Pritzker: “cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem like peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act so that he can send military troops to our city.”

I believe that the Epstein files reveal the following:

Epstein was a MOSAD asset who created Kompromat material to use as leverage against powerful men.

That material including sex with young boys as well as girls.

He was also a major money laundering conduit.

The men caught up in the scandal

For those who find using "Nazis" to be alarmist, important to understand fascism has a rampup. There's no question this is a Christian White Nationalist fascist regime in rampup phase.

NYT
Trump fires black officials from an overwhelmingly white administration
Separately in the administration's first 200 days only 2 out of the 98 senate confirmed appointees to the most senior jobs in government were black.

Illustration shows four fired (or attempted) black administration members, 2 of which were replaced by white men.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
