Pritzker: Illinois is not a place you can conquer and our people are not your subjects

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

According to CAVE (Caucasian American Vernacular English):

"DEI" is a political agenda to subvert "meritocracy"
"Diversity hires" are unqualified ppl who got a job because of their race
These terms describe the federal prosecutors who Trump hired to indict his political enemies

Trump's DOJ Is White DEI

The Trump Administration's Justice Department is filled with incompetent, unqualified people who personify the conservatives definition of a "diversity hire."

They lie so much that it can't be tracked. It's a lie until it is not.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.
