I hate that mass shootings are happening at all, but this is worth noting. Texas National Guard coming to Illinois is wild AF to me, considering these results. #blacksky

This is an extremely situation, and my heart goes out to the victims. But that mass shooting map made me wonder where Chicago was on the list versus other states, especially with the National Guard here. 🤨😑😤

You're "losing faith" in a governor for a state you do not live in nor vote in? Um. OK. 🙄

Meanwhile he is explaining why police were brought out here.

Maybe try criticizing the place you actually live in?

Walz is OK, but he is not a great debater and thinks it is a good idea to post videos shooting birds. He is a little peculiar to me. Been feeling that way since he was entirely too chummy with J.D. Vance.

Every time J.B. Pritzker jokes about being arrested, I wince like a worried parent. Chicago needs him on the outside, and our record with governors is NOT great. I guess I should give him kudos for a sense of humor. That or he is so loaded he knows he will make bail. 🤷‍♀️

From the federal court to the Nobel Prize Committee, everyone agrees that Donald Trump and his administration lack integrity and credibility.

And getting off the bike to squat behind the bushes to take MORE pics looks even more peculiar than that time a non-resident had a mic and was filming himself in front of my condo. And I am NOT Latino. So if it is weird to me, it must be uncomfortable to people actually living here.

It could be paranoia, but it rubs me wrong these days when I see certain people stopping to take a bunch of photos of buildings I know for sure have a high Latino population. You don't look less suspicious on your bike with your mini shorts. And no, you do not look like a Realtor. 🤔 📸 🤨

WILD. I went to an elementary school that was rich in Black history, worked in Bronzeville, was forever at DuSable Museum, and spent my whole childhood on the South Side of Chicago but never heard one word about Supreme Liberty Life Insurance.

I am also very disturbed by the guy brandishing his weapon to keep the folks filming away. They don’t have guns. What’s the point other than intimidation with impunity. I hope we get justice.

When they do something like this there's no way they can say they were following orders
These are toxic misogynist males there's no excuse for this
This is the reason he wants to place boots on the ground in most places he'll have an executive order as the insurrection act & we're all fucked
