That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

To be a political reporter in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime. Or you just have to be willing to pretend you’re that gullible. Either way, we deserve better.

What does "tough on crime" actually mean? To some people, it means "Reducing the murder rate, reducing the robbery rate, and making the streets safer."♥️👍🏿 To other people, it means "Intimidating, harassing, and shooting more innocent Black people." Which ironically, makes the murder rate go up. 🙃🙂
