Chicago mayor sends 'call to arms' over Supreme Court
[Washington Examiner] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot set social media ablaze Monday evening with a "call to arms" in response to an impending ruling from the Supreme Court.
the Picnic Ant Lady (as B calls her, LOL)
Pegged as incitement by critics, a warning was sent by the Democrat about how gay rights could be next after a leaked draft opinion signaled a crackdown on abortion access.

"To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community — the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms," Lightfoot said in a brief and now viral Twitter thread. "We will not surrender our rights without a fight — a fight to victory!" Lightfoot added.

#1 Chicago is obviously already armed. Lightfoot is simply attempting to redirect the fire.

#5 Chiraq is already armed and killing their own so being an 'oasis' for more killing kinda makes sense.

#6 #1 I don't know B, having a forward observer like Mayor Beetlejuice there is akin to calling for Final Protective Fires and getting leaflet rounds in response.

Her warning is right up there with used Kitty Litter.

How does Chicago Mayor Lightfoot know what the SCOTUS has planned? Does she have a Girl Friend clerking at the SCOTUS?

#11 Yes but when the Chicago rebels surge out of Chicago into rural Illinois, they will learn the difference between thug shooting and rural shooting. It won't be pretty.

#12 "Chicago rebels surge out of Chicago into rural Illinois" as if they could cross I-80 & the always-under-construction access roads serving as a barrier between Chicago and rural Illinois. Truckers would turn them into roadkill.

#13 I think that many Americans are willing to challenge one particular gay right, the right to indoctrination.

#14 I understood that during the George Floyd riots, the Chicago rioters stopped dead at the Cicero town line. Cicero is apparently under the control of the Latin Kings, who did not want their property destroyed. A good example to follow.

#15 I understand there were many no-go lines they were stopped at. Basically, they operated where nobody was allowed a counter-force.

One of the funniest videos I saw was in LA (I believe) with a Crip (likely) chasing off some Blamtifa like a scene in Gran Torino.

#16 You would think the one group in AMERICA the least impacted by abortion law would be the gays

#17 I guess she won't be signing "Back in the Saddle Closet Again" anytime soon.
