And of course she's whining about being a victim, as fascists do.

    "This is what Governor Pritzker calls cooperation"

    Here's what Governor Pritzker actually said:

    I am ringing an alarm, one that I hope every person listening will heed, both here in Illinois and across the country.

    Over the weekend, we learned from the media that Donald Trump has been planning, for quite a while now, to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago. This is exactly the type of overreach that our country's founders warned against, and it's the reason that they established a federal system with a separation of powers built on checks and balances.

    What President Trump is doing is unprecedented and unwarranted. It is illegal. It is unconstitutional. It is un-American.

    Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. city, punish his dissidence, and score political points. If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is: a dangerous power grab.

    Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump looked at the assembled cameras and asked for me personally to say, "Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city?" Instead, I say, "Mr. President, do not come to Chicago."

    You are neither wanted here nor needed here.

    Finally, to the Trump administration officials who are complicit in this scheme, to the public servants who have forsaken their oath to the Constitution to serve the petty whims of an arrogant little man, to any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous: we are watching and we are taking names.

    This country has survived darker periods than the one that we are going through right now, and eventually the pendulum will swing back, maybe even next year. Donald Trump has already shown himself to have little regard for the many acolytes that he has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf.

    You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you cannot prevent it from finding you eventually. If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me, not time or political circumstance, from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

    Yeah, sure sounds like he stabbed you in the back, swearing he's cooperating and all that.

    “And if I ever find him, this is what I will say to the tiny fingered man: My name is Governor Pritzker. You harmed my constituents. Prepare to cry.”

    OK, now my mind is coming up with a complete reboot of the movie.

    Character Mappings

    Jesus (Westley): The resilient migrant worker advocating for immigrant rights. Quote: “As you wish.”

    Melania (Buttercup): The elegant First Lady, symbolizing grace and advocacy for families, with her illegal immigrant status leveraged politically. Quote: “I just want to be an example for the children.”

    Beto O'Rourke (Inigo Montoya): The passionate champion for justice known for his compelling speeches, seeking vengeance against injustice. Quote: “This is not the time to be timid.”

    Bernie (Fezzik): The gentle giant fighting for social equality and worker rights. Quote: “I don’t even exercise.”

    Miller (Vizzini): The crafty strategist behind complex political maneuvers. Quote: “Inconceivable!”

    Supporting Characters

    Humpadink (Prince Humperdinck): The cunning political figure focused on power and control, leading efforts to deport immigrants to neighboring Guilder. Quote: “I’m not a monster; I’m just a little misunderstood.”

    Fantastic Fauci (Miracle Max): The healthcare expert known for vital, unconventional public health advice. Quote: “It’s a matter of life and death.”

    Dread Pirate Thunberg (The Dread Pirate Roberts): The bold environmental activist using dramatic tactics in her advocacy. Quote: “How dare you!”

    ICE (The Goon Squad): The federal agency enforcing stringent immigration policies, symbolizing the oppressive machinery of deportation. Quote: “No tolerance.”

    The Turtle Necked Man (Count Rugen): The turtle like antagonist involved in the deportation plot and a cruel enforcer of power. Quote: “You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.”

    Noem (Yellin): The assertive political figure known for her vocal stance on immigration and law enforcement. Quote: “We must take a stand.”

    Some of those still need some work.

    I hate that no one in government is doing anything about any of this. They're not even talking about it.

    The government is doing everything about this. It's literally being done entirely by the government.

    If you want the government to be doing the opposite thing about this, the time for action was during the past few elections, before the fascists got control over all three branches. Best the dems can do now is try to lock things up as best they can. Maybe by shutting down the government or something idk.

    If everywhere you go people aren't nice to you, what's the common denominator? This is like elementary school level emotional intelligence.

    They dont care so long as they can punish people of color. They see themselves as better or above, and everyone else is lesser, inferior, or even livestock. they simply dont understand why anyone would care about a person with darker skin. So, in their minds, they have done nothing wrong.

    “As much as these local leaders and governors talk about cooperating and having the backs of our law enforcement officers, this is what we have to put up with every single day,” she said. “And all we’re doing is getting criminals, and terrorists, and cartels, and gang members off the streets.”

    In a statement, village spokesperson David Ormsby said Noem appeared "unannounced" at the Village Hall "asking for a meeting while Mayor Katrina Thompson was out of the building." Thompson, Ormsby said, was instead on her way to meet Noem at the ICE facility.

    "Mayor Thompson went to the ICE center, accompanied by the Broadview Police Chief Thomas, and officers, to ask for the illegal fence to be dismantled. The mayor was told by agents at the gate the secretary was unavailable to meet," Ormsby said. "Additionally, we are distressed to hear that the bathrooms are unavailable at the ICE facility.”

    It’s too bad that officer didn’t pick her up, carry her, and body slam her onto the pavement like her goons did to Kat Abughazaleh.
