Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 13h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

If you are a billionaire governor I don’t think posting ”damn that’s crazy” counts as doing everything in your power

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

In Illinois, we will do everything within our power to look out for our neighbors, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

I’ve been offline the last week but I’m glad to hear people enjoyed a photograph somebody else took and shared, of my old idea that I had, for clout. I love that for them. Buy my album veryimportant.lawyer

In addition to gassing people on public streets today, ICE handcuffed and detained Ald. Jesse Fuentes (26th ward) today at an ER.

As we’ve seen repeatedly, ICE agents exhibit little self-discipline or understanding of the law.

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

NEW: Chicago has a so-called 'conviction integrity unit' that's meant to identify and free the innocent.

Since the new prosecutor came into office, it's all gone south—cases are not being reviewed, and allegations of police coercion are left unaddressed:

Chicago Already Struggled to Free the Innocent. Its New Prosecutor Has Weakened the Process Further. - Bolts

Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke’s Conviction Integrity Unit hasn’t exonerated anyone in her 10 months on the job. Meanwhile, she's done little to confront more than a dozen coercion ...

The Directors Label by PALM was a short lived DVD collection of the very best film/music directors and curated their best most well known works alongside lesser seen curios. Inspiring and very much recommended.

The internet Archive has the seven volumes here for free:

Every Sucker for Himself: How ‘Slap Shot’ Cut to the Soul of the American Character

"Slap Shot" could've been just another low-rent sports movie, but Nancy Dowd used it to give shape to a generation of nonconformist yearners.
