You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

JD Vance calls Pritzker a "criminal." Because facts mean nothing to him.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime?
VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe
S: It's a yes or no question
V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.

Scary experience, but I admire the calm questions asked by our everyday hero here: "Who are you? Why are you stopping me? Where is your ID?" As well as his answers: "I live here. This is my neighborhood. So I'm letting people know."
Keep on letting people know!

This is fascism. This is a police state. Masked men with guns in unmarked cars are driving through residential neighborhoods during the daytime looking to kidnap women and children.
Resist this. Never normalize this or else these fascists thugs will some day be used against you and your family.
