    Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

    Democracy requires your courage.

    A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

    This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

    All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

    This is the playbook, folks.

    If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

    Do not be quiet in this moment.

    People of Illinois, we need your help.

    Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

    We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

    The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

    This is not a joke. This is not normal.

    Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

    In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

    If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

    Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

    Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

    As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

    The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

    The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

    It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

    ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

    Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

    That’s not making America great again.

    The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

    As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.

    No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.

    Hate has no home here.

    Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

    What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

    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.

    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.

    What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

    The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

    It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

    When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

    Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

    If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
