Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

“More than 14 million people could die over the next five years because of the Trump [regime] dismantling USAID… Around 4.5 million would be among children under 5… 88 deaths per hour.” “It’s not left-wing rhetoric to feed the hungry, heal the sick. If this isn’t murder, I don’t know what is.” Bono

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral. Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.” By @tilleckert.com

People will post videos like this and it's the bleakest thing you've ever seen

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

spreading lies about immigrants voting, and openly mainstreaming terrorist propaganda. This isn’t just another unhinged rant, it’s dangerous. A president is feeding white supremacist violence and calling it truth. He’s not hiding it. And if we don’t call it out, more people will get hurt.

What we know so far: The guns are safe. The guns were not harmed. It was just people who were killed and injured, the guns are safe.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

Seems like they all have something very obvious in common 🤔

The press is often referred to as the 4th Estate and an additional check on protecting American democratic values. Limitations on the media's ability to report is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. Limiting what the media can report is a fundamental element of authoritarianism.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

1/ While everyone is focused on Comey, Trump did this today. How many more of us will be targeted? How many rounded up? How many designated terrorists and prosecuted before those who remain on the sidelines finally open their eyes to what’s happening? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Feels like this...Keep the faith!

JUST IN: A judge concludes the Trump administration sent a man to Mexico to sidestep protections against torture. He has no criminal history and had legal protection from being sent to his native El Salvador — where it appears Mexico is sending him. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Oregon governor says Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops to Portland, a city that is "just fine."

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

Portland is ready 💚🌲

Why the sudden urgency behind the WH power grab & flex? Could it be because every admin policy initiative is failing and unpopular? Or because bad as things are now, they're about to turn much worse for most Americans & Team MAGA wants to intimidate them into not complaining?

Since you're in the E drawer, grab those Epstein files and release them too! 🤨 #releasethefiles #resistanceunited #pinks

The White House knows exactly what it was doing when they published a list of Democrats who have used their voice to call out Trump & Miller’s ICE abuses. The list is now being used by the far right as an enemies list. It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. And it puts lives at risk.

In light of Trumo sending troops to Portland with suthirizsrion to use “full force” msybe we should join in chanting for peace. youtube.com/watch?v=6XP-...

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."
