Illinois and Chicago elected leaders worked Sunday preparing plans to counter President Donald Trump’s potential deployment of National Guard members in the city.
Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. JB Pritzker worked Sunday preparing plans to counter plans detailed in media reports that the Pentagon has been working on plans for a deployment of National Guard me…
Let’s try mercs!
Give no help. Deny every request. Arrest federal agents violating state law.
Arrest them for following illegal, made up charges as part of a conspiracy to defraud the United States.
After 70 yrs on planet Earth I am in assurance of 2 things-
Chicago & Oakland got this crap.🥊🥊
Trump is paranoid & doubling down to take full control of the nation.
Trump wants to make sure his deconstruction of the government is not overturned & to insure he is not convicted of his past & present crimes.
This is a fascist Coup d'état,
enabled by the religious right nationalists.
Stop the militarization of troops in our cities. Congress controls the purse strings. Cut Hegseth’s funding!
Pritzker should call up the Illinois NG ahead of Donald to protect from a federal takeover. This puts him in charge, not Donald.
Preemptive first strike like bush
Run your city instead of sitting around in suits drinking coffee. You get on the streets.
Demand the names, SS #, and criminal records on every one of the masked individuals. Publish that information.
Where the hell is AIPAC? Did they fund Hitler’s fascist takeover too?? They certainly gave this fascist regime a boatload of money.
I’d make them a big ol’ batch of Ex-Lax cookies.
If you call them up first he cant... thats what ive been lead to believe...
Trump wants to control democrats. Not high crime in cities. It’s why he wants troops in these cities. It’s pretty obvious when you look at where troops have gone in LA and DC. It is never in high crime areas.
CPD should be ordered to protect its citizens by documenting/videoing every encounter with the NG or ICE.
I suggest trebuchets filled with bags of feces.
Simple — city/state/local police set up blockade and escort the federal forces to the federal building and surround them they can stay on federal property or be escorted out of the state — that’s it. No roaming, no kidnapping
Trump may as well spell Chicago, "Waterloo," and call himself Napoleon because it will be a major political loss.
How about a law against wearing a mask while carrying firearms. If masked bandits are outlawed only outlaws will wear masks and carry guns.
Everyone was warned. bsky.app/profile/adam...
In denial about the Ku Klux Klan running the State of Illinois Department of Revenue:
🏴☠️Governor JB Pritzker &
🎭Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke.
LINK UP ALL THE GANGS
Show people the bit where the cops (including SWAT), national guard and fire department chase the Blues Brothers all the way to the Cook County Assessor's office. Every single time Trump's lot come up with this nonsense.
We are in the middle of a hostile takeover of our country-
Can you take down the damn paywall for democracy and safety of our citizens?
Chicago is already leading the way with grassroots protests… we can all learn from them
www.thenation.com/article/acti...
Chicago’s years of organizing against immigration raids are a blueprint for real resistance to Trump’s attacks—as even his top goons acknowledge.
A military silent coup???
Call in the Illinois national guard
Go to Court to argue there is NO EMERGENCY. It cannot be because of illegal immigration because Trump and MAGA cheered when TX bused them TO Chicago in WINTER. TX trafficked them with help from DeSantis. The cruelty of it being in winter was intentional as was hoping to exhaust Chicago's resources.
If the victim is taken against their will or decoyed across state lines, than the offender can be charged pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1201. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...
I want them to do anything and everything. It would be nice if we could keep it legal and non-violent but with trump ignoring legal process, I am not sure that will be possible.
Are they building a militia? You know, Our Constitution.
They need to stop it if at all possible, issue counterorders right now. They need to get the leaders of the IL National Guard to agree.

Confederacy is invading sovereign states With NO Battles A dream come true for them
M2s work well.
Yeah. They show up, round them up and put them in a detention center. If they are NG from another state, stay the fck out of IL!
Ridiculous amount of work being done to obfuscate the Epstein stuff
Annoying, truly
So much for “States Rights” from the party that used “we’re just sending this power back to the states” for overturning Roe v Wade.
But apparently, the federal government has no problem with invading & shattering state sovereignty in the name of “law & order”?
The CRIMINALS are in the White House - time to get that straight!
What’s the best way to protest? Raising food prices specifically for agents sounds awesome, is there an organized effort to do so?
Fight!
Maybe they can run a loud video loop of the latest episodes of South Park on the city's tallest high rises.
Good luck with that! Seriously. I wish you and your city, state all the luck in the world, way past this lost country.
I'm not sure what can be done because this administration plays by no one's rules but its own. That being said, we all know this is not about crime rates. This is about T* trying to deflect from his political malpractice and test the waters for a military state during the 2026 and 2028 elections.
Blockade
As wrong as this is, this is a great opportunity to cut police overtime, supplying cops outside Wrigley/soldier field, the L, etc...let Trump pay the policing costs . This can help balance the budget.
Take note, all other Dem leaders.
Only thing wrong in Chicago is that clown has his name on a building. Very very few buildings in Chicago have names on them. And this is the last name Chicagoans wanna see in this great city.
If only the military would turn around and go into the White House and arrest the traitors.
My God....😪
Maybe ... just maybe (🤞) all this crap he's pulling now will wake up more Dem politicians to quit playing politics as usual and FIGHT.
Come on…”uninvited occupying military force”?
Don’t bloat this words to normalize this shit.
It’s an INVASION of our own government on domestic soil. Period.
“…but one that Democrats described as an attempt to spread public fear by using an uninvited occupying military force on domestic soil.”
Activate your NG to protect the state government & citizenry!!!
Seize his fucking hotel and use it as the command center for the resistance.
could pritzker call up the illinois national guard to protect chicago against invasion ordered by a domestic enemy?
They have warning. Be ready and willing to act
They should roll out the red carpet for them. put on a party. Street performers, food trucks, live entertainment, everything. Show the world what a "mess" the city is in (as trump claims). Maybe project a personal message to trump on the side of his ugly building.
You can call me JOEY BROWN̈NNNN.
Add this to our story of how we fight back.
How about Chicago sets up a police blockade to keep them out? If they disobey, kidnap them, put them in confined spaces for weeks & don't tell anyone where they are. Maybe fly them to countries they have no association with. Keep no records of it. Ensure they have no money or resources once there.
Why don’t these clowns in red states understand that deploying troops in the cities will push crime out to their cities and rural areas? I’m here for it!
WOKE W - Wake up to the cruelty O - Out the militant in our streets K - Keep the workers we rely on E - Everybody has worth
Arrest them. That would send a message.
Hold MeToo movement protests and demand the release of the Epstein files. Turn away any military flights from this admin. Put up billboards of 8647 and Epstein. Fight back!
Build walls around blue cities. 😆
Yes!!
