This is an effective message from the governor, especially with both senators and the mayor of Chicago standing behind him in a unified show of defiance.
DC, of course, doesn't have most of those officials, which is why the lack of congressional pushback there matters so much these days.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:
"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich.

Somewhere in the Opus Dei Conclave, Leonard Leo and JD Vance are scheming on how to make Samuel Alito the Antipope. Brett Kavanaugh just showed up with beer and snacks and they're trying to convince Amy Coney Barrett to come out of the bathroom she locked herself into.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 44 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This is also a remarkable statement from a prominent journalist who himself works for a large wealthy corporation.
