Good Luck 👍 😊
Is that a Persian last name?
Actually, it has become an American last name. While we fight Herr Tump and his ICE thugs any last name is American.
Some people are just interested in genealogy.
So far, all Kat has been interested in is her own genealogy and her campaign has only attacked anyone asking her how she would help the interests of all the people, since she is running for public office and needs to serve everyone.
I don't know anything about that but would love to see more.
That is an interesting point. Wonder why? Maybe too early to have programs worked out. When is her election?
No. You don't enter for the job without a platform plan. She assumed she'd win on her pet project, exploiting & hijacking the vote on the Palestinian issue. She definitely got attention, but not for the job she wants. IL voters have needs more than her 💯 Palestine attention capturing a news cycle.
When I, and others, asked about her plans for the people in her district, her campaign set out a goon squad to silence, squash, & shame people from asking the questions, but kept centering them back to Israel and IL giving $ to Israel, etc. There were no answers and no care when asked.
Where is her district? The Palestinian issue is so hard for everyone. You are probably right. So, can she win the primary?
9. Probably, but I hope not. Her praetorian guard kept saying how experienced she was, but if that's what she delivered with her experience, then IL needs better, especially at a time like this. She should work on the Palestinian issue in another capacity and enter later if she can govern for all.
I hope she wins the shit out of the primary. She actually covers a huge range of issues and you're lying by omission about her campaign by saying she only covers Palestine. But young voters overwhelmingly support Palestine anyway, so even if she were just using it cynically, it's smart politics.
You are right, it could be genealogy, but in the situation we are in now, I wanted to make a point. My brain automatically goes to the complications of having an insane dictator
I love how she teaches us not to make racial or ethnic distinctions about names as if some have more value than others. In America we place great value on every person regardless.
That wasn't the point of my question. I grew up with a lot of Iranians whose families escaped the revolution so I recognized the spelling.
So why does it matter?
I was simply curious. Don't read too much into it.
I’m not.
I’m curious. Are you Puerto Rican?
Not even a little bit. Chinese and Black.
At least most of do value each person, but we do have fascist MAGA thugs who are trying to divide us so they can “cull” our population and end up with only White Christians. I am totally disgusted by them
What do you mean by "knowing the far right"? Have you grown up in it and escaped like people do a cult?
Came here to ask the same question. Understand them or are them?
Like understamd them or grew up w/them but am free now. Like I understand the sandwich chain Pret A Manger from the inside as I worked there, had encounters with their toxic executives, know their lies & mentality. But don't work there anymore, instead expose them. I guess we never get an answer.
She does need to clear up that messaging. I was not clear on her words until I got to the bottom of her page, many would have stopped scrolling.
Bottom of which page? Here on Blue or a website?
I guess yoy mean the website but still din't know what you mean. Until she clarifies we'll never know.
www.katforillinois.com I'm assuming she knows because she reported on this douchebag.
You don't have to stick your hand into a fire to know it's hot as hell. One could actually, I don't know...STUDY, OBSERVE, EDUCATE one's self.
Of course, but someone saying they "understand" the far right. I know a lot about facism but don't"understand" them or their mentality etc. It still doesn't answer my Q.
Go Kat!!
Your message and message style is terrific. Can you teach us how to pronounce your name?
Kat Ah-be-beatn-gop-azz-ah
It has the same cadence and number of syllables as "abracadabra." Get it right and you'll feel like you've just cast a spell.

Thanks. I'm an expert now.😊
Kat, like Cat

Ok.... I can't resist: "Mrs. Cleary....I don't think this is..." Mrs. Cleary's character: "Call me Cat, Kitty Cat!" (Wedding Crashers)
Now that's phunny
Yup. 🥰

Thanks Charlie, now I’m sitting home shouting “ah-boo-gah-ZAH-leh” over and over and my neighbors are calling the cops. Thank you for returning my amp, maybe I can use it to post bail.
that’s very entertaining. memorize my number, just in case. Also, I think it’s more accurately ZAY than ZAH, not least because she’s up in Chicaago
They call them otters water cats up there I hear.
Charlie I’m getting likes on an inside joke made 30 years ago when we were in a stupor singing goddamn Phish songs a capella. What is even happening rn?
Damn I blew it
Good luck.
Let's go girl 🙌🏼🔥🫡
So far you, your campaign & your supporters have only fought against voters demanding your plans to help their needs in IL. You fight against Democrats, only sowing division & angst amongst people that need real leadership and integrity, not another politico just in it for your ego or pet projects.
Words
Kat, you're one of the upcoming stars of progressive politics in the USA today You come across well, and your message is to the point and easy to understand I really hope you get elected, as I think with you representing the 9th district of Illinois, the people will know they have you on their side
theplotagainstamerica.com www.thenerdreich.com
Where is the DNC AND THEIR 2026 MESSAGING PLATFORM??!?!$@#$@
Here's another fun fact he will declare a national emergency to prevent elections from occuring. Take that as truth!
If you don’t go into the streets now, you won’t have to fight back something that easily. Didn’t Americans learn international history in school?
Democrats are way too slow to fight in unison against the Red Devil and his administration. The way things go right now the fascists will have steamrolled most of America and likely squashed any real opportunities to fight back.
Ah, excellent. Will your office be maintaining a fax line for the airing of grievances? 📠 We the People have an endless supply of toner.
*eyes name*
Can Illinois National Guard checkpoints be setup to prevent out of state guard from invading Chicago? Seriously any Democratic governor at risk should do this. The fight starts now.
All dump has to do to take control of our IL is snap his fingers. It’s what he did in CA.
It is how Trump approached CA. However, Newsom explicitly denied Trump's right to do this, and won is court. Here is a brief summary of the way things played out. www.npr.org/2025/07/16/n...
You want the State of Illinois to go to war with the United States, at a time when we've already seen support north of the border for the idea of bombing the blue state cities, in order to push us for our failure to defeat Trump? Not going to happen, because we're not that dumb.
I’ve read your responses. Breathe. Fight doesn’t equal armed resistance. National Guard are usually unarmed. Arming them in DC is an outrage. We can fight in the media and Pritzger is doing a good job. I’m not placing a lot of trust in the courts. The SC gave Trump immunity and we see the results.
"I’ve read your responses. Breathe. Fight doesn’t equal armed resistance." Daniel, I will remind you of what you said, just a few days ago. bsky.app/profile/sird... "Can Illinois National Guard checkpoints be setup to prevent out of state guard from invading Chicago?" One can't do that.
One can't obstruct somebody acting on behalf of the federal government from doing his duty, even if he has been sent to do it unlawfully. That would be an act of rebellion. bsky.app/profile/sird... "National Guard are usually unarmed." If they're being sent into Englewood, they won't be.
"Arming them in DC is an outrage. We can fight in the media and Pritzger is doing a good job." No quarrel with that, but you're using a Motte and Bailey tactic, and I am going to call you out on that. You WERE talking about a lot more than just fighting with words.
"I’m not placing a lot of trust in the courts." Try arresting the National Guard, and I guarantee that you'll wish you had. Not that I believe for a second that you were being anything more than a keyboard warrior on the 22nd. The problem is that there are always hotheads listening.
Hotheads eager to do foolish things, in response to your intemperate words. Nobody who has lived through the last few years could doubt it. The riots showed us all just how out of control some of our neighbors could be. If that happens again, it could give Trump his pretext.
"The SC gave Trump immunity and we see the results." Sorry, buddy, but no go. I can dislike Mr. Trump without supporting every shady thing somebody wants to do to get rid of him. Trying to get him sent to prison for alleging electoral irregularities was highly shady.
We're not going to pick a fight with the federal government, just because you're feeling frustrated that you couldn't imprison a politician that you hated, on a meritless charge. The rule of law wouldn't mean anything, if the law was just whatever an angry mob wanted it to be.
A clown replies ... bsky.app/profile/just... and ...
This is my response. bsky.app/profile/chic... More than he deserves, really. Trolls are scum.
Who would we turn to for support? How much of s death wish would we have to have to do that, as opposed to, say, getting up and moving to somewhere less dangerous? Something that a lot of us were doing, anyway. Illinois already had a massive net out-migration before this.
Trump wants to put our largest city under occupation, sure, and we hate that. But on the other hand ... During the Antifa / BLM riots of 2020, we could hear small explosive charges being set off on the streets below and see the craters left behind, the next day.
We can still remember the stores in our neighborhood getting smashed up, twice, our neighbors being threatened with violence, and a charming attempt to set an apartment full of people on fire, on the South Side, by rioters who then tried to keep the residents from escaping.
You want to set up this narrative in which there is a good side (yours) and a bad side (MAGA), in which the moral difference is so clear as to compel us to dive into the fight, and bleed and die in large numbers, just to give your side a win. That's going to be a hard "no," buddy.
Yes, we get it. You love death and destruction. Psychopaths usually do, but normal people, not so much. Especially when the fights that somebody is trying to drag them into, really aren't theirs, and they have workable alternatives. Which we do.
We can move. Movers can be a pain to deal with, but if it's a choice between them and the US Army, I'd much rather deal with the movers. Guess I'm just funny, that way.
Linking to your post bsky.app/profile/sird... for reference purposes, just in case you block me.
And here's the OP's post. bsky.app/profile/katm... The usual random, mudslinging accusations of whatever I'm supposedly guilty of may now begin. I'll hardly care, because this is so stupid. Do we really need to explain why we're not eager for a civil war?
I was just wondering what power or control Pritzker has to keep Trump's federalized guard out
My understanding is that, legally, Trump can't send in the National Guard over the objections of the governor (which have been voiced) unless he can seriously argue that there is a national emergency that requires such an intervention, or unless federal law isn't being upheld by the state.
This doesn't mean that Trump won't go ahead and send in the guard, anyway, but if does, and Gov. Pritzker is anything other than an absolute fool, the governor will take him to court, and win. If Trump wouldn't back down at that point, there would be solid grounds for his removal from office.
This, however, bsky.app/profile/sird... "Can Illinois National Guard checkpoints be setup to prevent out of state guard from invading Chicago? Seriously any Democratic governor at risk should do this. The fight starts now." is pure foolishness, a call for insurrection.
If Gov. Pritzker met Pres. Trump in court, after the guard was sent in lawlessly, the governor would win. But if the governor meets the people sent in by Washington with force, then no matter how illegal the presence of the Guard was, that illegality would become a moot point.
At that point, the governor would leading an insurrection, and the president would be not merely authorized, but in fact expected to crush that insurrection, on the spot. As much as a lot of people on social media don't want to understand this, the use of proper channels matters a great deal.
The only way through is by using the Rule of Law. Russia and our adversaries are trying hard to get us to abandon the rule of law and descend into lawless shark-infested waters, where the sharks reign supreme.
Exactly.
For example ... if, as private citizen, one sees a cop pulling a gun on somebody and one doesn't see a legal justification for the cop's actions, one doesn't get to pull out a gun and shoot the cop. Parent bleets: bsky.app/profile/katm... bsky.app/profile/sird... bsky.app/profile/godf...
One has to call the police, and let them take care of their (possibly) rogue officer. This is not a legalistic bit of hairsplitting or a normie's attempt to (I guess) squash the fun. The law works that way, because the law needs to.
Imagine the carnage if everybody felt free to use deadly force to enforce the law as he understood it. Imagine the impossibility of the work of a cop trying to uphold the law, if he had to stop and explain himself and his actions to anybody who might be witnessing them. This would be anarchy.
I hope you earn a position that allows you power to change the world. We need more people like Abughazaleh & Mamdani in government.
OK, Yes. ....but where are the Epstein Files?
We will never see them.
Keep on Asking Trump's Rage could bring on a heart attack
I'm sure they're trying to hack together some "files" that omit any mention of Trump's publicly-acknowledged close "friendship" with Epstein.
Meanwhile, the federal LE deployed in DC honoring the laws and people's rights vs a black man's who was "eating in public". bsky.app/profile/iwil...
Time to start curb-stomping these Nazi fucks. Cops have always been bastards, but they've gone way too far.

You are great. Love your commentary. Good luck with your campaign. We need more Dems like you.
She’s not a Dem. Wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Sorry, is there something she's done that signals she's a secret threat?
Apparently she was raised in a conservative household, but so were a lot of us. #Rebellion https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMg%3D%3D_3febf931-b95d-4434-84ea-371eb3648740
As was I. Didn't stop me from stepping directly over "Democrat" to become a filthy progressive. 🤣
explain
Google. In a nutshell, she had been a Republican. She aligns with Dem Socialists. Her resume is TikTok influencer. She just moved to Chicago but does not live in the district where she’s running. Etc.
Republicans have been recruiting candidates to run in areas where they aren’t from for years, if not decades. Obviously, nowadays, candidates run where they have the best opportunities to win. That’s all that really matters because the parties are so different. Every vote in Congress matters.
I used to campaign for Jan Schakowsky. She lived in the district and knew her constituents intimately. It’s possibly this very blue district will vote for one of the locals who’s running, like a local mayor, state legislator, or state senator, not an unknown.
Wow it's impressive how much you left out and twisted up for the sake of maintaining your position. You sure YOU'RE not the Republican here? It takes 5 seconds to Google. You're right. But I dunno how you'd know that since you clearly didn't bother. My god. Do better ffs.
WIKIPEDIA???? You know people can write their own stories on Wikipedia, right?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Muted for gullibility.
And mute me while I report your post for misinformation. 🫶✨
What the fuck is this 2008? Wikipedia is proven accurate over and over and over again. But keep that myth going because you can't admit you're wrong. (Also it's not like the entire article isn't covered in source links but okay.)
Wannabe dictator... 🧐😬😶🙄🫣 Can he transform to wannabe dancer? It starts with the same letter so there is enough facts for maggats 😬
And losers confederate states governors are complicit. They need to be reminded how it feels to get their tails between their hindquarters.
Chicago: Murder stats need to be delivered via megaphone whenever in hearing distance of media. Red states are better murderers than the blue ones, apparently. Actually, have plenty of backup megaphones - you WILL be silenced.
When you live in northern Europe you would recognise the Nazi NSDAP playbook from the 1930's That's what they copied. Next will be a 'special' police force which will translate to SS or Stasi From what I've seen so far I doubt some of these Muppets care about anybody's rights
I think his ICE recruits are his special police force. I wonder if he’ll actually pay them, as he has a history of not paying hired workers.
Another one will come under different leadership and control for different roles. ICE is very immigration related and not anything else
His senate and congress minions have paved the way for Fascism.
Shame on the National Guard and Military for capitulating.
That's why he got a freakin Nazi to head up the Military! What qualifications does Pete Hegseth have?
@cmcharlesallen.bsky.social anyone doing anything this clear or succinct about rights in DC?
This could get uglier.
It's what DICTATORS do to try and INTIMIDATE their opponents! It's ALL about instilling FEAR! That's HOW DICTATORS rule! IT's up to US to NOT let him WIN!
It’s starting to look like he is trying to find the city that will give him what he wants, Which is for violence to break out so he can declare martial law. LA has been peaceful, DC has been peaceful. Chicago do give him any excuse.
There is no legal clause stating he needs a concrete objective reason to declare martial law.
But he does need a moral reason, strange as that sounds. He knows if he declares martial law without reason, a lot more people, including his own voter base, will rise up against him. If he wanted to, he would have declared it after that one guy nailed the cop in the chest with a sandwich.
I’m going to Chicago I hope they don’t arrest me !
Worried about criminals on the loose? Donald Trump granted executive clemency to more than 1,600 individuals as of July 23, 2025, all of whom were charged or convicted of federal criminal offenses.
Any excuse will do, right Trump, or is it puppetmasters Voight and Steven Miller choreographing the TV show "Trump Strikes Back "?
💯 I wish every US Congressional district, and every state legislative district, had someone like Kat running for election
If it’s like DC, the Guard will me only in the safe & calm areas of Chicago. Navy Pier, Miracle Mile etc
Go Katbug
Bad news about the disobeying an unlawful order bit. That's really hard to win in a court martial case, it will not end well unless the order you are refusing to follow is clearly something beyond the pale like shooting into a crowd with live ammunition.
Except it would be a blatant illegal order as this is not a federally operated city, and it doesn't sound like they plan to keep them to "federal" buildings like in CA. And even more blatantly illegal if out of state. We've also had like 5 judges say this type of shit is illegal.
While she is correct, it implies the guard will respect what is right. From what I have seen, failure to do any of the legal things she claims usually ends up with a person dragged to the ground and hauled away. I’m not saying don’t do it, just that it may prove futile.
HE wants Chicago to have a riot so he can declare Marshall law. He thinks Chicagoans are stupid.
Reminder: Trump is just the figurehead. The entire GOP and much of the Democratic Party are complicit if not outright encouraging his behavior.
Donald Trump is from the city. He is not a rural redneck. He is a spoiled rotten trust fund brat that never worked a day in his miserable existence. What he hates is the movers n shakers (elites) in those cities that couldn’t stand him and never gave him the time of day. Donald=Dem=elite=pedo
Donald was a Dem but became a Republican b/c he needed the religious sheeple and the racists haters of women to carry him to his perch where he can now harm the successful city dwellers that can’t stand him. He’s a user. “I am your retribution” is another lie, it’s his vengeance he is fulfilling.
Donald Trump has always been happy to dish it out (birtherism) but he certainly isn’t man enough to take it in return. If only America had many more Barack Obama’s and way fewer Donald Trumps. We all lost when trump was installed… even magas. Here’s proof… youtu.be/HHckZCxdRkA?...
Barack Obama was brilliant if only we had a Republican Congress that instead of impeding him at every turn they would have at least let go of their ignorant racism. If only our best and brightest would lead us (whether R or D) now it’s the most dreadful hateful ignorant racist people of America.
This is a more accurate video of the correspondence dinner. youtu.be/n9mzJhvC-8E?...
If you want to remember what a true blue American patriotic president sounded like .. listen to the end.
When was the last Republican president worth a shit?? Really, when, who??
The Republicans haven’t represented the American people since Nixon... via Roger Stone, Bill Barr and the likes of Roy Cohn that darkened our Republic. Trump is just an extension of the criminal underworld that sadly like a moth to a flame attacked most of our gov officials via bribes. Fuck Trump
Nixon had to do some good things for the lower classes due to their sacrifices in Vietnam.
Eisenhower
Yeah before the criminal Reich took over under Nixon.
Eisenhower. Parts of Nixon such as OSHA, EPA. Read Ike’s farewell address and GOP party platform 1956.
“Any failure traceable to arrogance or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home and abroad” Trump epitomizes Ike’s warning; lack of comprehension, zero sacrifice and an arrogance n hubris built of selfish pride. youtu.be/MvOzbjn_rLE?...
I know Ike warned of the military industrial complex. The man was right!
Also warned about the need for an alert and educated citizenry!
"If only our best and brightest would lead us (whether R or D) now it’s the most dreadful hateful ignorant racist people of America." The Intelligentsia, you mean? I guess that as a PhD student, I'd qualify as a member of that, but until quite recently, we were economically disenfranchised here.
That is very much changing, now, because self-employment is becoming an increasingly viable option, allowing us to bypass corporate obstructionism as we've sought financial independence, but entry into Politics takes time, even for those who desire it. Which, really, most of us probably don't.
At least not right now, in an America configured as it is. One major reason for this is one that Barack Obama brought up, after he was elected. He would never know the freedom to walk by himself, outside, ever again, because wherever he went, somewhere a would-be assassin would be waiting for him.
In a country with over 1/3 of a billion people, even under the best of circumstances, that's part of the price of power, because no matter how one governs, somebody is going to be murderously angry about it. It's a probability thing.
Like, why New Mexico could get away with not having a metal detector in its state capitol building, but California would be ill advised to do the same. As a group, we wouldn't handle a lifetime of that kind of limitation on our freedom of movement, very well. Nor would our relatives.
If what you want is a government run by the best and brightest, then in setting up your country, you should see that small is beautiful. Don't set up a vast empire. Create lots of little countries that stand together for mutual defense - an alliance, not a vast union.
Trump is not fighting crime. He's inciting revolt. He sees everything as a win-win. If we dont revolt, he gets to take over. If we revolt, he gets to take over faster.
He will fuck around and find out what Chicago is all about.
Fascist Republicans
What weak men do to pretend they're strong? You dumb ass. Let go of your trump derangement syndrome and root for the safety of your neighborhood you ignorant idiot.
"Know your rights..." LMAO.
An authoritarian regime working for a wannabe dictator, who hates democracy!
He’s making a dig at Obama
#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Also, please consider signing my petition:
More gold from kat i adore this womans entire campaign go get them kat!
They’re not following laws they don’t care about anybody’s rights they are trampling on them. But I think they’re being pretty bold fucking with Chicago
TACO has a business history with our governor and of course there's that hideous tower. This is from 2022,.also he got hit with $12 million fine for pumping 20 mil gallons a day of untreated hot water from its AC system into our Chgo River, threatening fish & other aquatic life.
Build a fortress around Chicago!
Same as DC and LA. He’s gonna try and intimidate and influence the elections this fall with marshals law. This is where he thinks he can get name brand clothing at outlet prices.
He’s a fraud through and through!
Were you this Angry and outraged when Joe Biden sat on the Ebstein files for four years?
Stupid jokes do not alter the facts.
So, you're implying that every Trump supporter is a pedo. That also implies every biden supporter is senile.
Debunked more times than Trump has told lies. Try a lie that’s at least halfway believable next time.
Newly released transcripts show Ghislaine Maxwell testifying that President Trump never acted inappropriately with anyone or received any “massages.” Trump also never visited Ebstein's Island. But according to Biden's daughter diary, Joe took showers with her when she was 14. Pedo Beijing Biden.
Little Johnny 1 inch
Your logic is sound, but it is lost to those that have none.
You must have gotten lost on your way to the clown college. It's called X. Do visit.
Why are we calling him a “wannabe” dictator? I sure as hell don’t see anyone stopping him.
Remember Donnie von Shitzinpants had bone spurs rather than serve in the military. Also remember this Commander in Chief ha ha ha ha only has some high school ROTC as experience.
Mark my words. The reason they’re doing this in Chicago specifically is they’re hoping that they will provoke a violent reaction or gun violence so then they can justify going whole hog fash.
Anyone notice that he's taking over the cities that usually hold the largest anti trump protests.
Yes. Blue cities in blue states This is not happening in Red state cities that vote Blue like Madison and Milwaukee WI.
I'm sure to Michigan Avenue, nowhere near the Southside. Bahaha.
This is what I’m thinking, too. Will they appear on the Mag Mile and stay out of the south and west sides of Chicago where gang activity is prevalent? All on the taxpayers’ dime.
Never have so many OPENLY wished a person dead.
Probably back in the 1940s there was a guy sitting in Berlin that holds the record

Yup
Person? Singular? No, the whole fucking lot of them and everyone who voted for it.
It's time to step forth Gov. Pritzker, I've always been proud of your stance against this orange bully, you are commander-in-chief of our national guard, there is no need for him to interfere in our state, red states have higher crime rate than we do. His is a pres. of retribution.
2. It is time to fight back, redistricting now, all Blue states should, don't leave Gov Newsome out by himself, we need to unite, it is a mater of survival for our Democracy.
The time to fight was Jan 6. With respect.
😆 Go ahead!!! Please. Go to SouthSide first. I wanna watch the INCEL-ICE-BRIGADE cry like babies, begging for help to get out. Police refuse to open doors at the station while people die begging for help. Congressman and Judges have died on police doorsteps. Send the INCEL-ICE-BRIGADE there.
Trump deploys National Guard to Chicago because.. drum roll.. Chi-town has a *Black* mayor! It's what all the cities he besmirches have in common. It's what all the voting districts he instructed "his" Governors to eliminate have in common--they are represented by hardworking Black Congress Members.
More waste, fraud, and abuse against the American people, how unoriginal. Give them hell Chicago! Resist!
He said he would.
Why doesn't every American see that he is installing his own army to create military law across the United States?
Everybody does. It's not a question of understanding, it's a question of either resisting it or not. So far, not enough people are out in the streets. It's as simple as that.
This is what a dictator who ignores the Constitution does. Uses the military illegally to provoke the people.
Hope you know they don't follow any of these rules period, time to strap up and arm ourselves we have the right to defend ourselves.. it's time to stand our ground!
He is going to do this in every city he wants to take over😠

Isn't the National Guard a state's responsibility???
If the POTUS declares an emergency then his powers include taking command of a state’s National Guard. This is yet another way the #CowardlyCongress has relinquished its congressional duties to a dictator wannabe. https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMg%3D%3D_590ca8d6-1b19-46dd-bf65-ea4ae490a27a
It’s what lawless dictators do to terrorize the people. And I thought I had seen it all internationally.
Fuck Donald Trump

this is all straight out of the fascist playbook. all of it. this is not new. he fascisting.
That's about Pritzker. Trump is trying to goad him into a showdown.
If Pritzker allows NG to run his state then he has failed his state. If he allows OUT OF STATE NG to invade then he has betrayed his people and any country would basically consider that treason/dereliction of duty. Ball is in his court. He may not have an option to avoid a showdown
MORE DEFLECTION. . .
You really think they give a shit about your rights? Wake up. Trump will try to stay in power as long as he can. You all need to stop watching it happen
I actually thought that I wrote this comment. Exactly they don’t give a shit about anybody’s rights. Still citing the constitution, filing lawsuits playing footsy with the courts that are compromised. They want violence period!
Thank you Kat ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
To appeal to the fake tough guy base, beards, big trucks, guns, all an act to ‘look’ tough
I hope cars don’t break down on streets where ice is 😏
Don’t think that that is going to work out to well for the orange asshole, and the military might finally have to take a stand
It's a little premature. Might need the Guard when people can't afford rent, food, electricity, medicine or health insurance.
And what rights can one assume these days? Many all across the board are frightened that their rights will be trampled on, if they haven’t been already. They’re empowered to take away just about anyone else’s rights. Fight is all we have, for as long as we have it.
It must be a Friday. He’s at his most fascist-y on a Friday. 🍊 💩
Straight outta the 80s marketing strategy. Blow up everybody’s weekend so that he’s ever present.
Because he is about to go golfing.

Just in time for Mexican Independence Day. That weekend always cracked me when visiting Chicago for Riotfest.
Of coarse I meant to say crack me up. It was entertaining to see. Weren’t there last year for it because Riotfest was a week later but it’s always a highlight of our Chicago trip.
Chicago doesn’t play. 👿🤡
Get ‘em Chicago. Run the bastards out of town.
Just wait until election day.
Chicago: August to Date Shot & Killed: 20 Shot & Wounded: 127 Total Shot: 147 Total Homicides: 22
I once thought about running for the presidency of the United States until I realized that the oligarchs control the presidency & congress. Chicago has too many homicides. My thought was to temporarily augment the Chicago Police Dept with Active Duty military police, not national guard. Short term.
Nazi Germany
It's all for show. I'm 100 percent sure having the National Guard will not reduce any crime statistics. There is a large part of the population that believes it will reduce crime, just shows how simple-minded people can be.
It's what weak men do to take power over those who oppose them.
If you have a firearm and a carry permit and know your self defense laws, practice them all!
First off Trump can not just take over the state’s National Guard on a whim. He doesn’t have the authority. There is no civil unrest that would begin to even warrant this. Pritzker better take this to court before Trump tries.
The courts, the national guard commanders,
Who's gonna stop him?
Pritzker will NEVET ALLOW THIS ,I hope he can prevent it.
Hitler is back
And with AI this time

Has he been tested for syphilis yet?
This has been on the White House website since April if anyone has been paying attention he has been planning this move. Read it !!!!!
Chicago isn’t having it. This will be a test for Trump’s strategy to incite civil unrest and then cancel elections. Standard Authoritarian playbook stuff. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social
Keep up the great work, Kay.
And once you get off the phone with the police department tell whoever’s on the outside of your vehicle that that’s where you’re headed and they are welcome to follow you over there that you fear for your life. Sometimes they won’t follow you because they know they’re in the wrong.
Stay in your car, do not roll down your windows, ask for identification, such as their name, badge number and their commission if they cannot answer those questions google the nearest police department. Once you find that department, call them and tell them you’re headed over there immediately!
Lol. Lmao even. Go ahead and try it Pres.
#stopfeedingGOP Lock up the gas pumps and the doors at the stop and go gas & snacks.#NoICE🧊🥷
If anyone was speculating that L.A. or D.C. are anything but test cases for martial law across the entire country, I think you need to speculate no further. The more cities we put up with the federal government using troops in, the more they will use them. We need a 10-million-people protest in D.C.
That may not go as Trump expects. Chicago has a lot of experience with gangsters.
He wants us to be angry and to fight. Then he'll declare martial law which will suspend all elections. Fight peacefully. Do not use violence
Trump wants constant attention.
Donald Trump is obsessed and with anything that will obey his commands. That's why he hates animals and most women.
So, you prefer crime?
I prefer the criminal face charges and be tried like you & I would have to. Trump is asking for ridicule if he's talking about crime!
Are you fucking insane or are you a bot?
crimes... you mean like felony tax evasion and child rape? crimes like those? no I don't, thanks. *you* wouldn't happen to support any criminals like that, would you?
No. I prefer to follow a rule of law. Not a rule based on the whims of one man who wants to be an authoritarian.
this is fascism .. this is totalitarian and what does it say about National Guard personnel who take part in this? Following orders is not an excuse guys!
That they're kids who aren't real soldiers
Kids with guns
He wanted John B. Couldn’t do that with DC police in the way.
What rights? That's over. You'll have to fight to get it back
It's time to impeach and remove both Trump & Vance. The GOP needs to pull its head out of its ass and get on board now. It's nazi Germany 2.0, unacceptable.
Fatass McBabyRapist has had a teensy tiny hard on for our Governor, J.B.Pritzker forever. I saw this shit a month ago, when the Texas Dems came to stay for free in Pritzker families owned Hyatt Hotels, and Donold cannot stand that.
🎯
I saw it too when Trump occupied (or tried to) Los Angelos. Trump has declared war against blue cities, States and the people that live in them.
Yep, it's ALL part of his plan to TRY & rid the Country of Democrats! His ACTIONS are PURE AUTHORITARIAN and he needs to be STOPPED SOONER rather than LATER! The text below is from an EO he signed on DAY ONE! It CLEARLY shows his PLAN!
Trump will never stop until he's a totalitarian dictator.
If enough people step up he CAN be STOPPED! Newsom is off to a good start but he needs to get MORE people in high places to join him in his efforts! If the Military would mount a COUP against him, it will END FAST! Their OATH is to the Constitution NOT the POTUS! We also have the 2nd amendment!
The more Democrat's That start standing up To Trump's actions the Sooner his house of Card's will start to fall Now is the time to step Forward before it's To late, And the sooner to bring Trump and his administration Down.
Stand up and lean into the fascist aggression.
There is strength in numbers. Wake up everybody no more back wood thinking. Democracy, is on life support. Democrats we can revive it. Blue Tsunami 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Turn the Pressure up On Trump as the post's From governor newsom Are working a treat There needs to be more Democrats keeping This going as mimicking Trump is his achilles heel And will chip away at His confidence he will Make a mistake then we have him as he will Respond and slip up.
Want to see a gigantic meltdown from Trump.(I do). All the democratic governors follow Governor Newsom trolling Trump. What a meltdown that would be. He would probably have them arrested.
We have so much work to do, it's all possible.
But there needs to be More strong Democrat's To keep changing trump On a daily basis, Tweets and posts like Governor newsom is Doing they are winding Trump up that's needed Let him know the wolf's Are at his door and they Aren't going away. We need to keep the Pressure going. The good fight
Then he must be stopped.
He Already Is I will be a dictator on day one... He said it outloud - Art of the Con
Such an incredible waste of govt money taxpayer money. For Mr sleaze Trump to feel powerful in the wrong way etc
Yes yes yes , say it loud and shout against authoritarianism.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Can you put your National Guard On standby for YOU
This is a great resource with printable flyers & lots of great information-share everywhere! Votecommongood.com
Does this mean they’re leaving Washington DC because we only have a limited number of reserve guards right? I actually thought San Francisco was next on the agenda
That will be interesting, now there is some violent gang shit going on there. I think ICE should go into gang territory and show them who's boss.
I remember as a frocked E-7 CPO (USN) I went through a week-long indoc for the promotion. They spent 2 days to go over the promise, that as an E-7, your behavior, like following an unlawful order, will result in court martial, and that you better be damn sure what you do is following the law.
Please wear your RED white and blue just like No Kings Sing hymns Confuse them with me
Chicago ran him out of town on a rail when he ran in 2015
Elbows up Illinois
It's officially the start of the Fourth Reich. Trump hasn't declared it yet but he has a concept of a plan. One of our generals needs to decide if they are loyal to Trump or the constitution.
Those loyal to the second being sacked … and fact they allowed troops to be deployed shows they agree

So quickly they forgot about the Epstein files. He is a pedophile. No conscience left in Congress among Trump’s go-alongs. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles
Carry subway sandwiches.
A day in future, not far future, not really close, but somewhat time lapse, well, you do understand, then and when - by declaration of orange weirdo - all of Americans will become members of National Guard. Problem solved. That was an easy one. Thank I do take cash only!
When the Nat’l guard shows up in the Windy City, all hell will break loose. Just watch! Chicagoans are NOT GOING TO PLAY THOSE GAMES. Idiot trump is going to get American citizens hurt. Social media has created a false sense of security and trump will be to blame for the shit-show that happens.
Of all the places to try to play games with people’s lives, this fucking lunatic is foolishly choosing to poke a goddamn Grizzly Bear. Unbelievable. This fucking idiot doesn’t realize the shit that he’ll trigger by fucking with Chicago. #STAYSAFE #FUCKREPUBLICANS #FUCKTRUMP4LIFE
Wouldn't it be interesting...there's a lot of wildlife that could be released just as they arrive.
Fuck him and what he says
tRump is a chump, a thief, a liar, a coward, a felon and a classless bully who should be in jail.
Is this an open thread we can all add to your statement? I’d like to include RAPIST
Narcissistic Sociopath.
How many cities will be occupied six months from now?
WOW! How far has the USA fallen under Trump that you even need to give out this advice? 😮
Fallen? By what metric?
All of them. www.systemicpeace.org theconversation.com/us-swing-tow... www.scientificamerican.com/article/scie... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state... www.rsn.org/001/hundreds...
ICE agents are not allowed to enter private property without a judicial warrant or your consent. If they only have an ICE administrative warrant, you are not legally required to let them in.
Another city with a black mayor...
Everyone in Chicago please put Mexican flags on your vehicles!
Just a heads up, I really appreciate your subtitles, but they're hard to read on a phone where they are at the bottom of the screen because there are other words in an overlay at the bottom. I managed but if you could put them at the top in future that would be extremely helpful to subtitle users.
Chicago! Exercise that satire muscle. You got a collective snark and absurdist mindset that's unparalleled. This is your moment.
Refusing to answer questions means they will arrest you. Refusing to consent to a search of your vehicle is probably cause in their eyes. Asking if you are free to go means you will not be free to go.
Pivot, pivot, pivot! Make them pivot more! National guard is a misdirect to hide sexs trafficking and pedos
You're not buying the tough guy act, are you? Weak men do indeed try to compensate, but Chicago's got heart and won't back down. Stay strong, stay united, and remember: knowledge is the best armor.
Bondage Pam is fantasizing about the younger TIC. Kash is standing ready with a big “Yes Sir”
If you would see the guy up on the right on the street as a Trump henchman, would'nt you arrest him immediatly?!?
Yet he could not call out the guard on 1/6, law and order yeah right
Actually he was blaming Nancy Pelosi claiming it was her responsibility and duty.
Maybe Nancy can send guard home.
Of course he was…he’ll never take accountability…JFC
Playing America in every way possible. It’s a problem having sex offenders involved with the government. Because they can pick and choose how they are going to play the country!
And I hope Pritzger will assign Chicago cops to monitor the Brownshirts, including DHS and ICE, and arrest them as they commit crimes.
Crazy for a liberal but… remembering why there is a second amendment.
That is exactly what Trump wants. Take a look at how Kristallnacht played out
After he has boots in biggest blue cities and DC (seat of government), who will stop an announcement of total power grab. Just watch and prepare for the unexpected 🤷🏻♀️
I know the fear. But as they say in war, amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics. We'd be civilians with guns, not soldiers. And even if we were soldiers, without recurring supply deliveries, we'd quickly lose the ability to put up a defense
I know. Again, the history of the second amendment is precisely civilians against English soldiers. Just saying…
The military doesn't seem to agree. Also there are 200k combat troops in the US military and 3.6 million square miles of land
The Nazis famously disarmed the populace
France had a standing army of 900,000 troops and mobilized five million reservists. So 5.9 million soldiers with armor, an airforce, and we know how that worked out. Please tell me how 200,000 civilians (men, women, children) were supposed to defeat the Nazis when actual militaries struggled
Except they didn't struggle. The French infamously surrendered the the Blitzkrieg committed by the Nazis. To avoid blood-shed, they caved in the face of evil. When all was said and done, President Lebrun lived out the rest of his life as a pariah.
The people who didn't fight back were just as readily shoved into the showers as the people who did. You're not saving lives by prolonging death.
The fucker has zero authority to do so. Pritzker better have something up his sleeve.
War against those he thinks are weak and cozy with those he thinks are stronger…it’s survival for him.
Honey, he’s not a wannabe dictator. He’s a dictator. You are living in a country transitioning from a democratic free society to a dictatorship. This is what it looks like in the history books. Make no mistake.
POP GOES THE WEASEL (ice-stapo theme) should be the signal
When it happens, maybe a general strike? Nit sur why DC is not doing that.
But you are MAGA. I would think you’d enjoy this. I mean, you just moved to Chicago to run for the amazing Jan Schakowsky’s seat, what do you care about Chicago.
You must be posting on the wrong thread. I know you aren't trying to accuse someone who has spent years investigating and reporting against these bigots of being a secret maga with zero evidence...
“investigating” “reporting” 🤣🤣
K. What office are you running for champ? What articles have you published? Lemme guess. None on both counts. How bold of you to run your mouth online. Must be so proud of yourself that you can spew baseless trash...with emojis no less!
I’m a citizen. Last I understood I don’t have to run for office to criticize someone running for office. And I’m a citizen who campaigned for years for Jan Schakowsky. But you do you, “champ”.
That could be a very interesting mistake.
Can people block the streets? Something needs to stop this.
Never forget: Used toilet paper is far stronger than Trump.
Dump is starting to place the troops for the civil war he wants to cause in order to prevent an election in ‘26 and ‘28.
Yes! That is it exactly. He will not risk an election that will cause his eviction.
It will not work.
Trump wants to destroy Blue States so they can't vote in the Midterms.
Blue and orange make muddy brown. Which is exactly what will be in the felon’s diaper when there’s a “Rising” for the midterms.
Thank you for this. Made me think of my mom. She loved Springsteen and every time I hear his songs I think of her. She also hated Trump and voted for Hilary and she voted for Biden before she died of Covid. 💙
One of my favs. Lived through 9/11 and lost my dad 4 months prior. Bruce knows what we are up against. 💙
I'm so sorry I lost my father in March of 2020 when Covid first came about and my mother died of Covid later on. She didn't even get to see Biden win. I lost a friend of mine on September 11th. He was a NYC firefighter and he was carrying a woman down the stairs when the stairs collapsed on them.
💙💔💙
Shit going to hit the fan 😡
He’s a weak man. He will forever be weak just like his heart. He’ll be dead soon and then the Cons won’t have anyone to replace him. The mask will fall off because everyone will try to fill that vacuum, but no one will want to kneel.
Welcome to the occupied states, Illinois!
I can't believe Pritzger wouldn't activate the guard ahead of TACO'S attempt. If the governor activates the guard, the president cannot then activate them for federal use.
Umm, actually that’s incorrect. I used to think that too but I researched it and it doesn’t work that way.
I'm assuming because civil war is a fucked up thing where people die & most are reluctant to be responsible for inciting or being blamed for inciting it. If people hadn't voted Trump in the first place, this wouldn't be happening. Now your state leaders have to figure out how to protect without war.
Why any states haven't done this is beyond me
Fear
Of?
I wrote our governor Shapiro & urged him to do it.
They're controlled opposition and they're more worried about optics.
Because Trump is using guard from deep red states to send in. And those that do are ones that are volunteering so are more likely than not also brain rotten cult followers.
I look forward to seeing what Pritzger does, as I don't believe he will sit silently while 45 tries this crap in his state. Maybe he can position the Illinois National Guard to block the out-of-state National Guard forces from entering the state/city.
Can we lay off the “TACO” thing? The only place that made sense was on Wall Street regarding tariffs. When it comes to everything else, he /never/ chickens out like a sane person would. He’s out of control and batshit crazy.
All blue states need to do this now. Dont protest, it gives him the 'excuse' he wants.
Chicago? That’s not going to go well for Trump.
who told him Chicago was hiding the Epstein files?
🖕
Did he send you to Chicago?
Get him, Kat!
I'm kinda wondering what the NG will do if dispatched to Chicago. They would have nothing much to do.
Honestly, has anyone really asked any members of the NG how 'they' truly feel about doing this? Because right now I feel they might not be happy....
Trump is no longer a want to be, he is a Dictator. History though has shown that dictators are defeated; There is no reason to think a very old one, mentally compromised through a lifetime of corruption well known, who just became is anything other than fleeting.
Chicago: don’t waste your time engaging with these people. Stay home as much as possible. Let the protesters do the heavy lifting. Remember, they did not ask to come there, but you do not have to be good ambassadors, either. js
Excellent message. Thank you.
Stay safe Chicago, these assholes are looking for a pretext to declare martial law and war on America's cities, so please remain calm and peaceful.
Film it all Contact the mayor and council members on what they plan to do in response. Call the PD and ask what they plan to do in response.
Love you, Kat, but please double-check w/ a crim defense atty. Folks' rights are even broader than this. Absent a warrant, probable cause does NOT normally(*) entitle law enforcement to search your home. _____ (*) exceptions include fleeing felons, contraband in plain view, etc., but are narrow
Looking forward to your election and representation in the people’s house.
He will probably send them to my city, Minneapolis.
👍🏻👍🏻
Slow motion martial law.
Bingo
Trump IS a dictator right now! Please wake up and seem him for what he actually is!!
And New York
They work together, capiche?
He's obviously militarizing the big blue cities before the midterms to help steal them and good luck getting him out of office if they stay there.
The list i saw was mostly red? Information is not consistent rn
Also, Chicago is a sanctuary city. There is no legal way for them to do this.
Father Time is coming
Not soon enough
So slowly
Sooner than later💀💙
He'll be dead soon
