The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.
This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

New Fighting Matters! โ๏ธ THE LEFTโS PURITY TRAP: WHY WE KEEP LOSING
We tackle one of the most self-destructive tendencies of the political left: the purity trap.
The takeaway: no coalition survives if everyone must already be perfect to join it.

Letโs talk about defensive thinking: the tendency to excuse poor performance before it even happens.

Itโs demoralizing to watch grifters grow absurdly wealthy by spreading lies that make their audiences feel good, while scientists lose research funding, some lose their jobs (as I did), and hiring freezes sweep across universities and medical centers.
