Trump ordered Treasury employees not to share any more images of his demolition of The White House.
Thou Shalt Share This Photo Because Trump Doesn’t Want You To
He sure as hell wouldn’t want you liking this post or subscribing to this newsletter either.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I'm still waiting for the hillbilly militia's to swoop in and join with those protesting federal government overreach and the use of the military to go after political opponents. I guess they are just right wing racists and misogynists who have joined with ICE.

This is spot on. States rights, baby!
There should be an ad hoc emergency conference of the states and Illinois should convene it. Not because it'd have any legal power, of course, but because there should be a united front in the form of a body able to speak with their combined voice, a coordinating committee if you prefer.

the way you actually fight fascism is by locking up as many of their leaders as you can as quickly as you can, and identifying all their sources of power and influence and breaking those. they control the courts? break their control of the courts. crush fox news. destroy the federalist society. etc
“we are fighting fascism by passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill” is the lie you tell yourself because you cannot live with the truth that you are unwilling to take the risks associated with actually fighting fascism
