Every Democrat at every level of office must denounce this madness Monday morning. Has to be huge outcry. We need to be incredibly loud.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3d

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.

These thugs are not wearing uniforms. In unmarked cars. Masks to hide their identity. Looks like they are recruiting men who just want to beat people up.

Go Chicago!

He’s going to continue to do very bad things to keep the focus off his failing policies.

The cruelty & inhumanity is painful to witness.

Our challenge is to not become hateful like they are.

Protest. And make sure to touch beauty every day. Be kind every chance you get. It matters.

Never the solution

I’m so sorry Judi. To read that the congregants and rabbi had to bar the door with their bodies on Yom Kippur morning — absolutely horrifying.

What a pathetic lie, JD. Nobody’s arguing for benefits for people who are undocumented.

But now that we’ve cleared that up, are you saying you WILL support continued ACA health care tax credits for millions of U.S. CITIZENS?

That’s what we’re fighting for!

You never know. Do not doubt the power of even one small action. It may just be what tips the scales

Rabbi Jill Zimmerman @rabbijill.bsky.social · 6d

Which is exactly what he said about other presidents…

Rabbi Jill Zimmerman @rabbijill.bsky.social · 6d

For all the Jews coming out of our most solemn day - and arriving in this hellscape of this depraved regime - kind of makes you want to go back to fasting, right?

I hope the holidays were meaningful to you and that you are energized to fight for justice - and to keep being decent

Can you even believe this headline?

Rabbi Jill Zimmerman @rabbijill.bsky.social · 6d

I had to read it several times to even believe I was reading it. Straight up insanity

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

I’m not familiar with military culture but I’m assuming a bunch of them didn’t even know what that was. And when they found out, it must have so angered them

Rabbi Jill Zimmerman @rabbijill.bsky.social · 7d

Tick-tock

Rabbi Jill Zimmerman @rabbijill.bsky.social · 7d

Why why why can’t they just do that headline??
