A day in the Portland war zone

The Portland War Zone isn't for everyone but at least the chaos is locally sourced.

Good job

…every awful act this administration takes sows more seeds of resistance and defiance. They can spew vitriol, send troops & lie until they’re blue in the face. But they cannot have America’s heart; in fact they are losing more of it every day with their cruelty, lawlessness, and corruption…

The clearest, most on-point comment about the shutdown I’ve heard so far. Some angry rants make us smarter and sharper. This is one of them.

I got angry this morning when I saw a clip of a reporter asking Trump what I think is the wrong question. Here’s my very ranty response. (Trigger warning—cursing.)

“Their plan all along is to cause chaos”

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

If you’re shooting Presbyterian clergy with rubber bullets, pepper spray, and tear gas, you might be on the wrong side of history.

All of this is about control. The entire concept of Project 2025 is about taking our freedom away. Republicans cannot govern. They only know how to manipulate for their desired results. They rely on uneducated Americans to push agendas.
Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov
