@govpritzker.illinois.gov it rhymes with Edmund Pettus Bridge 1965. WHAT are you going to do about it and when are you going to do it?
literally no need for this
the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.
I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
