Gov. Pritzker: "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the U.S. federalizing the Illinois National Guard."
"Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families."

Why I can't sleep: The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 stripped Jews of German citizenship. If one parent was a Jew, they & their children were no longer German citizens, even if the other parent was German. Today SCOTUS basically said they're ok with that rule here! For at least a generation, RIP America.

When ICE is permitted to mask up and wear unidentifiable uniforms, the idea that dudes will cosplay with Spirit Halloween cop costumes to injure people is as predictable as it is American.
absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."
Sources say two Minnesota lawmakers have been shot
Sources have told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS' Tom Hauser that two Minnesota Lawmakers have been shot.

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries.
RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing.
We will not back down.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:
“Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”
