Gov. JB Pritzker speaks during a press conference. PHOTO: Candace Dane Chambers/Sun-Times
JB Pritzker: “Trump is a danger to the future of our country & our democracy — authoritarians don't go away. They get more powerful if you don't stand up to them early
People said, you're alarmist. That's over the top — I don't think a year later anybody's saying that about what I said a year ago”
We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
New in PN: CBS obeys in advance
"A routine TV hit which would have been quickly forgotten became a national story about government censorship and a Democratic candidate being silenced by Trump’s henchmen. In a tough primary, you couldn’t buy better exposure. Nice work, FCC Chair Brendan Carr."
Insanity. They are laughing at us.
NO LIES 👇 DETECTED.......
Long past time to be expecting Republicans to save us from themselves. Absurd.

Trump's continued threats to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota make this video I filmed a few months ago all the more timely. Please watch.
"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
Please share. 💔
Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.
America has two major parties:
One party exists to serve the demented whims of our Nazi Pedophile Mad King.
One party isn’t sure whether to fund his lawless goons who are shooting legal observers in the face.
We need to end the two party system.
Q: Did you uncover evidence to prove Trump knew his claim the election was stolen was false?
SMITH: Yes
Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost?
SMITH: Yes
Q: Yet on the 5th anniversary of J6, Trump still promoted the stolen election theory on a govt webpage

Yes, that does say it all.
If the Democratic Party doesn't support nationwide strikes, then how are they not active collaborators of fascism? The absence of action in the face of authoritarianism is literally a pro-authoritarian strategy, and if I'm wrong, then bring me ONE official Dem Party surrogate to explain it to me.
Republican-Lite
Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.
We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Democracy dies in ▪️.
“Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions execs at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment.”
A person in a boardroom points to a chart showing a steep decline, and says, “It was at this point, gentleman, that the President decided it was his plan all along to reverse course.”
