No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people.
We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!
We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.
How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.
People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Congress needs to demand transparency re these CDC firings and what happened. I don't think "miscoding" is the reason nearly 50% of those fired were rescinded. Maybe it was the public awareness that programs like global health, suicide prevention, and measles response were being eliminated...
No one knows what is happening. Now, we are hearing some of the CDC RIF notices might have been in error.
Error = Miscoding
Where are we hearing this? Through media of course! No one is being transparent with CDC staff.

We continue to track the cuts. Stay tuned.

HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.
Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.
