Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

I had the chance to visit with most of our #NoKings attendees today. There is new urgency to their hope, a bigger drive behind their need to help course-correct this country.

Big dose of optimism for me today.
