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.

Expect Trump to deploy outside agitators this Saturday who will throw bricks and try to incite violence.

I don't watch Fox, so I have no idea if they ran a segment on Don Lemon appearing on The Left Hook, saying people of color in Chicago should consider legally & peacefully exercising their 2nd Amendment Right to own arms.

Jesse Watters' show reached out to me for comment.

This is how I replied:

And there you have it. These strikes are clearly not legal. Pete will push commanders aside until he finds one who won’t question these extrajudicial killings. #SOUTHCOM

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Mamdani: "I'm not funded by the same donors that gave us Donald Trump's second term, which isn't something Andrew Cuomo can say."

Clear and petty tyrant behavior on full display
