‪Governor JB Pritzker‬ ‪@govpritzker.illinois.gov‬ · 32m This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. ‪Governor JB Pritzker‬ ‪@govpritzker.illinois.gov‬ · 32m We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops. ‪Governor JB Pritzker‬ ‪@govpritzker.illinois.gov‬ · 32m ​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. ‪Governor JB Pritzker‬ ‪@govpritzker.illinois.gov‬ · 32m The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Red states sending troops to blue states is a really bad idea.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

If anyone can give farmers access to international markets its the guy who closed off access to international markets

The "compact" is a threat, with the administration explicitly stating that it plans to disfavor universities that don't sign in areas from foreign student visas, student loans, federal contracts as well as grants, and even tax [501(c)(3)] status.

It's a maximalist plan of 1st Amendment violation.

It seems pointless even to say this, but the Fourth Amendment does not permit federal agents to kick down every door in an apartment building just because *some* people in that building are allegedly undocumented. Even in the unlikely event they had a warrant, warrants have to be specific.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

🚨 New Case Alert 🚨
Leo Garcia Venegas is an American citizen and construction worker in south Alabama.

Even though he has done nothing suspicious and is working on private property, Leo has been repeatedly detained (once violently) by federal officers enforcing immigration laws.

I am proud to be a signatory to this letter. The FCC has no business policing viewpoint.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

crazy, how could he get an idea like that www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Trump asks Supreme Court to uphold birthright citizenship restrictions he wants to impose President Donald Trump's administration is asking the Supreme Court to uphold his birthright citizenship order declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.

President Trump's executive order that aims to decimate the 14th Amendment is blatantly illegal.

We will continue fighting to protect the right to birthright citizenship.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

“it looks like terrible” is true of something alright…

Well, that one was playing nonstop on this great Dutch radio station I used to listen to growing up in Switzerland, but that probably doesn’t help. ;)

People signing the Global Pledge for Healthy Indoor Air at the UN

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.

Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

The symposium piece I coauthored with @andrarobertson.bsky.social and @zoerobinson.bsky.social is now out in print. Proud of our work tracing unscientific public health policy, which unfortunately far predates RFK, Jr. and his ilk even though they have taken it to new levels. Check it out!

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

As I was saying…

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Assuming CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations, CVS tells me it will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription in all 50 states and won't require even self-attestation of a qualifying condition — "it’s up to the individual patient."

No confirmation from Walgreens or Walmart yet.

The vote failed re prescription, to be clear, with the chair breaking the 6-6 tie.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001.

We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid.

We will never forget.

Congrats! Would love to chat some time (I am also doing work on online safety).

"Pennsylvania is the latest state to adopt vaccine counsel from nongovernmental agencies in order to ensure access to COVID-19 shots this fall as health leaders with the Trump administration move to restrict or limit eligibility."

RFK Jr., American Psycho He needs to go. Now.

Caroline Kennedy warned us about her cousin #RFKJr, "a predator" presiding over "perverse scenes" of "despair and violence." His youth was the origin story of a new American Psycho. Now he is the position to inflict pain and suffering on millions. He has to go now. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Now MA, after CO. 👏

We are waiting here in NY, @governor.ny.gov

Timeline cleanse

@governor.ny.gov

Colorado moves to keep COVID shots widely available Democratic Gov. Jared Polis said Colorado will sidestep new Trump administration restrictions on COVID vaccines by issuing its own standing order.

Looking at you, New York.
