The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Governor JB Pritzker (@govpritzker.illinois.gov) 2025-10-04T18:10:27.781Z

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump’s acts of aggression against our people.

Governor JB Pritzker (@govpritzker.illinois.gov) 2025-10-04T18:10:27.789Z

In Illinois, we will do everything within our power to look out for our neighbors, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

Sometimes people don’t think the obvious things through because they’re consumed by hate…📌 Most Americans don’t even have affordable healthcare right now. But MAGA is convinced that undocumented immigrants get free healthcare. 🥴

Gun Violence:

Two killed, 12 injured in shootout in Alabama’s capital city

Rival gunmen started shooting at each other in a crowded downtown nightlife district in Alabama’s capital city Saturday night, killing two people and injuring 12 others, police said.

Montgomery Police Chief James Graboys said three of the injured were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Police were called around 11:30 p.m. to what Graboys described as a “mass shooting.”

“This was two parties involved that were basically shooting at each other in the middle of a crowd,” Graboys told reporters near the scene.

The shooters, he said, “did not care about the people around them when they did it.”

The Gestapo:

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i…)

The judge notes that noncitizens detained after 9/11 weren't held nearly as long without notice for the legal basis. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us…

State News:

Appeals court rules for Colorado and LGBTQ rights and against Catholic parishes in state preschool case

Preschoolers with LGBTQ parents or who identify as LGBTQ can’t be shut out of religious preschools that are part of Colorado’s state-funded preschool program, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

The decision, which upholds a key part of a lower court decision, represents a major win for the state and a defeat for the two Denver-area Catholic preschools at the center of the case.

Tuesday’s decision provides the latest answer to a question being asked in several cases percolating in state and federal courts: Can private religious schools that accept public education dollars refuse to enroll certain kids based on religious principles?
