Pritzker pointing out that ICE lies first and immediately, knowing journalists will catch up later if at all.
Coming from a sitting US governor, that’s an amazing breakthrough.

@mattmcirvin @futurebird @geoffduncan Oh yeah, basically, anything in or around the Adirondacks mostly counted. At least, to anyone who didn't draw a hard line at the NYS border.
(And certainly did _not_ count to the extremists who excised Hartford and Boston, tho' I can sympathise with anyone who wants to excise Connecticut in general. xD )
@geoffduncan @futurebird From a chat with with some born and bred New Yorkers as in NYC, some years ago:
Them: "How do _you_ pronounce Schenectady?"
Me: "I don't, I usually say Poughkeepsie or Leonardsville and nobody knows the difference."
Them: "EXACTLY. Because all those fucking upstate towns are EXACTLY THE SAME."
@futurebird @geoffduncan As someone who lived in Massachusetts for some years, let me assure you New Englanders would be just as angry.
Northeastern upstate New York, _maybe_. MAYBE. If it's in the very northeast. Ithaca, because of Cornell, MAYBE. But it's a... not oblast, what's the word. ENCLAVE. It's an enclave. AT BEST.
And yes, it is funny. xD
i guess what i have to do is get someone at cvs dot com who is actually at cvs dot com and tell them that their phone system WILL drop me to the survey BEFORE they can get back to me and to please combine the profiles even if that happens so i can stop CALLING YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN
also i thought end-of-life rite-aid was sad, cvs in person is fucking desolate
_even though they have more stuff on the shelves_, the whole place emanates a miasma of sadness
ostrom's is fucking annoying to get to on bike but MAYBE IT'S FINALLY TIME
jesus christ cvs dot com is a nightmare
all my prescriptions transferred from rite-aid to cvs and holy shit what a suckfest
the biggest fail that it looks like each prescription transferred a spearate profile, none of which got linked to my cvs dot com profile
i have been trying to get them linked back together for A WEEK
pharmacy can't do it you have to call the special cvs dot com number
if you call the number it does everything it can to throw you into the general tree
if you manage to get to a cvs dot com rep you'll get between 2 SECONDS and 2 MINUTES before it throws you to the customer satisfaction survey mid-conversation (enjoy another 1 out of 5 do not recommend) and you have to start over
