Life during wartime. Chicago is now occupied territory.
Pritzker could start by telling his State Police to arrest out of state NGs instead of protesters. He can take it a step further and deploy his NG against out of state NGs and place them in custody. A lawless regime requires thinking outside of the box and FIGHTING BACK!

Pritzker said military officials called Saturday and βgave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will." He said he refused.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress just shut down the government.
Why? They donβt want to lower your health care costs.
The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.
Let that sink in
Why would Democrats throw our support behind a budget deal that any day, any time, Donald Trump could just decide he doesnβt feel like honoring β and without getting anything in return to help families struggling with high costs?
That would be a betrayal of the American people.
An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Make sure you know your rights and stay alert.
The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.
This is not making anybody safer β itβs a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.
Just a few weeks ago, a white Mormon assassinated a white Christian.
Now a white Christian drives a truck into a church and shoots and burns bunch of Mormons.
Why does Trump think immigrants and blacks cause all the violent crimes?
