www.checookcounty.org/so/57PdFwENi... Chicago is Choosing Justice Over Fear, As It Has In the Past. In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

“Since the 1980s, Republican politicians have tried — and, thankfully, failed — to cut Medicaid.” An Op-ed by Health & Medicine Policy Research Group, and the Legal Council for Health Justuce #Medicaid www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
msnbc.com
Opinion | Even if you don’t have Medicaid, you’ll likely be hurt if Republicans cut it
Medicaid, America’s largest health insurance program, is so integral to health care finance and delivery that the GOP’s threatened cuts would prompt a deadly domino effect.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.
