It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

I'm not a conservative commentator. Billionaires won't pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.

But I am a lawyer who fights for democracy. I did build Democracy Docket from scratch. And, for $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

This.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Using helicopters and chemical agents, immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

"U.S. citizens, immigrants with legal status and children have been among those detained in increasingly brazen and aggressive encounters..."

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.

If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?
Psalm 130:1b 🍁
Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary 🌹📿

Faith does not impose itself by means of power and in extraordinary ways. Indeed, it is enough to have faith the size of a mustard seed in order to do unimaginable things (cf. Lk 17:6), because it carries within it the strength of God’s love that opens the way to salvation.
Pope Leo XIV 🙏

Only a contemplative gaze can change our relationship with creation and bring us out of the ecological crisis brought on by the breakdown of our relationship with God, with our neighbors, and with the earth that is the effect of sin.
Pope Leo XIV 🙏

Rely on Jesus for everything and all will work out well ~~ Continue to do good and leave the good outcome to Jesus!
St. Padre Pio 🙏

With infinite love, God has created all things and given them life. That is why Saint Francis of Assisi could call every creature his brother, sister, and mother.

We want God
We want God
We want God
Do not be afraid ✝️

Fight for America 🇺🇸

They are brothers and sisters
In Christ ✝️
God is Love ❤️

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

Now it's send up to 400 Texas National Guard troops to Illinois, Oregon and elsewhere to quell the conflict manufactured by Trump and his regime's ICE agents. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
