Cville peeps - avoid Harris road near Jackson Via. A gas line was struck so the road is shut down while they investigate and evacuate nearby residents.

When we said people would die, we meant people would die, including children. It is evil.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Tbf, they are so bad at flying that can we be sure they are ambushing you? Seems more likely that they accidentally crashed into you while trying to go a different direction. 😆

This really pisses me off. I realize he has issued an apology but still, it is infuriating. I can’t vote for the other guy, so I have to either not vote or hold my noise and vote. That sucks.
