I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Can someone please share today's speech by @govpritzker.illinois.gov's in its entirety? I would like to spread it far and wide—it was incredible. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 So proud of my governor.

We are on the slippery slope now. It’s a red line that should ring alarm bells for all Americans. Rear Adm. Jamie Barnett (Ret.): “Every dictator, every authoritarian, has not become so until he has gained control of the citizenry with the military.” Thx for your leadership and your courage.

This IS a crisis that goes beyond a "distraction". Big$ invested in infrastructure to 'change the culture' of America since 1970's. Today's common goal among all anti-democracy factions is UNITARY EXEC. GOVERNMENT. CENTRALIZE POWER, END REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY.

Yes, Trump's ego needs power, control, and adoration. His acts are self-promoting. But, he can MANIPULATE the MAGA masses. He's the perfect puppet. Sold to whoever dangles one of his needs before his ego. He's the 'useful idiot' at home and abroad.

Trump is dangerous enough, but NOT smart enough to execute the move to authoritarianism. The linchpin to the anti-democracy factions: #LostBoy JD Vance. He's changed his career, religion, politics based on associations w faction leaders. Bought and paid for (but lacks Trump's charisma.)

So yes, Trump's actions are authoritarian. He's pushing the views of who's paying him - anti-democracy leaders. Trump meant what he said, "In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote." www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

If this ‘crime emergency’ exists then the whole society would have been an authoritarian state for at least 50 years as most crime rates are as low as they were back then. Or we would have had very draconian gun control (which would have created the much lower crime rates other democracies enjoy).

Why is the majority of SCOTUS ok with Trump doing these overreaching things? Surely it’s not just a Dem vs Rep thing! I thought they were educated and had some ethics not to mention, legal sense. Guess I stand corrected.

Gov/ please call the Guard out yourself first- you can say its to deal with crime and Trump has good idea- this way he won’t be able to control your Guard in Chicago and he won’t be able to send his guard there. DO IT. SAVE us please- if the Guard reports to you than make sure it stays that way.

Thanx, JB. Cowardice has no place here. Chicago hits different. So if that moronic, 34-Count Felon, Pedophile Curious Adjudicated Rapist president wants to "f*ck around..." there'll be plenty of Chicagoans to help him "find out."

If you had deployed them yourself like Gov. Lujan-Grisham did, send them out to talk to folks, they don't have to be threatening, as long as you deploy them first. They can't be redeployed.

Trump is trying to distract from the Epstein files, which he's in as a pedophile, and his deteriorating physical and obvious mental health. Real presidents don't put face makeup on their elderly hands covered in IV bruises
