Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
Uh, I think what comes next is a Confederate invasion of the North. Gov Pritzker, if he had any cajones, would force a Constitutional crisis. He's personally safe from any real repercussions. He's rich enough and has the backing of the Corp Dem Party.
I agree with you that he speaks from a place of security, but I feel that's a positive not a negative in this case. He can afford to be fearless, to speak freely within the law, and to stand strong. I'm so tired of seeing cowering, groveling, sniveling wormtongues oozing around.
Exactly. He's a coward the same and the plebs are going to follow him into Maga hands. He needs to deploy troops himself to police the troops trump deployed. Anything else is just talk.
Pritzker is a sh*t, he should just f**k off 🤨
We Must Fight Back!!! At some point, someone has to say no. And be willing to fight. 🚬😎
The path between here and whatever atrocity is next looks very short.
It's always shorter than people expect
As long as I'm alive, I will never consider this NORMAL. PERIOD.
Atrocities?! Such hyperbole as that is laughable. 😅
Hint, we saw Elon go there at the inauguration. It's not an enthusiastic heart felt shout out. Only we all do it during the better parade than the army one. Oh and we run trains to our "detainment centers" so we can get more there faster ...
Chicago should follow DC’s example. Protest with words and action, nonviolently, and Trump will get a nothing burger. He wants a violent reaction. Save it.
Everyone must attend local board meetings to demand that they do not allow your police to support ICE or the Guard in any way. I’ll be attending the Arlington County one September 13 and filing this question/demand in advance so I can pose it to the board.
The press will cover this clarion warning and call to self defense as jockeying for 2028.
Trump can’t read. Isn’t rational. Has no understanding of history. The US is f…..d until he goes.
It never ends with the first atrocity, with the first target, with the first diminution of our freedoms. They may be hunting brown people with accents today... they will be hunting anyone who disagrees with them soon enough.
that is a given
death
Wishing that he had run for Prez in ‘24…
The authoritarian Trump will break all of our laws, take away all of our freedoms and tell you he’s doing you a favor!!! The guy is a pathological liar & a sociopath and he must be STOPPED! #RemoveTrumpNow
So put the Illinois National Guard on the streets to protect their Civil Rights from ICE authoritarianism.
States rights! Let’s go! *wasn’t this the South’s basis for the first Civil War?
I love this! Why can’t this be a thing??
We know what comes next…and we also know that a certain minority of our neighbors WANT what comes next. Our job is to stop them.
FIGHT BACK PEOPLE OF THE USA 🇺🇸!! NO FASCIST USA! NO TRUMP! NO VANCE!! NO NAZIS!!!!!!
They're creating the template for other democratic governors to follow.
Something tells me there's a final solution to all this immigration problem.
Not just immigration.
He done good here.
Is Trump trying to incite a riot in order to enact further authoritarian policy? Stop the next election?
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯EXACTLY that
I'll never be used to treason and that is what Trump and his maggot filth are guilty of.
Fight the AMERICA 1ST - NATIONAL (GUARD) TOUR. Coming to a city near you! bsky.app/profile/opsa...
ok tapioca trump has only had 1 job his entire life and it was working for his daddy, this douche has zero work experience or life skills. Spoiled brats make for horrible adults.
It's called complacency
This should be on a loop on loudspeakers nationwide.
And then they come for me
We KNOW what comes next. We read the history books. It ain’t pretty.
We have a clear model for that. The 3rd Reich. We are in Germany 1936, we all know what comes next. Blitzkrieg Greenland? Death camps for brown people? Invading Canada? All to the glory of Der PedoFuhrer
This is amazing. The day after China, Russia, and India meet to form some sort of alliance, the US president attacks a Venezuelan ship in international water. He then proposes to send the national guard from one state to another because he doesn't like their voting laws. He is killing the country.
Trump publicly mocks everyone. The only people who publicly mock Trump are comedians and Gavin Newsom. What if EVERY politician and progressive media voice just started relentlessly lampooning how he talks until there’s nowhere he can look that people aren’t mocking his every bit of crazy?
I agree with this strategy
So a political culture that consists of nothing but bullies and sarcasm? That sounds annoying as hell and a surefire way to end up with nobody taking serious stances on anything. We don’t need 100 Trumps. We need 0.
Mocking bullies works. Making them look like damn fools takes away their ability to be intimidating. In order to function they require others to just roll over for them and if that is compromised and many people start pushing back they fold like lawn chairs.
Pushing back, sure. Acting like a pretend braindead loudmouth is just a waste of everyone’s time. We’ve got enough of them.
💯
I can’t see the rational people of the United States ever becoming desensitized to these gross acts of cruelty and violence. Ever.
Or at least secession. Blue states do not support regime change.
👏👏👏👏👏
Let's re-phrase that! "Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time eating pizza would have stopped when his weight got to 400 lbs?
Deadly Chicago Labor Day Weekend With 52 Shot as Trump Threatens Crackdown! That headline is from Newsweek, a far left wing publication? What dey talkin about otis?
He’s 💯 right If we had a SCOTUS that gave any thought whatsoever to the citizens of this country this would never have occurred. Now our entire country is in serious trouble. #StopTrump
No one is impeaching him. It should be on the table each time Congress is in session.
Neither party wants him gone.
Dictatorship
The Illinois governor should enact the Second Amendment calling the state militia to arms against the national government dictatorial overreach - claiming self defense
We are 10 steps away from the holocaust
Next comes the gas chambers.
"What comes next?" At the moment, thoughts of Gov. Pritzker running for president, and every other Democratic candidate who speaks with the same conviction to fight back, stand up and be the leaders MILLIONS of Americans are desperately waiting for.
What Would Stephen Miller do if he could force everyone in America at gunpoint into a gas chamber? Just part of the fun possibilities under military dictatorship.
It is frightening
I admire the words but if he’s not going to deploy his own states’ guard to defend his citizens, they’re just words.
The ‘Homegrowns’ are next; at least, the ones who haven’t already been disappeared by accident on purpose…..
Gee, if only we had seen this before....like say....1930's........in Germany........🤔
A Final Solution
Chicago will never get used to this and we will fight back.
This comes next😝
More of this from our leadership, please.
Pritzker is bringing it. Very good...
My hero
Unlike Jefferies who is making Chamberlain fucking blush its so pathetic.
👊💙
Seems like Pritzker is choosing his language very carefully.
I agree. And appreciate.
Don’t forget RFK JR, Nepo Baby’s primary life achievement; Heroin Addiction! Would you take medical advice from a street junkie? The only difference is their economic privilege
Much Too Easy! Concentration Camps come next, and now no longer just for immigrants. They'll label all protestors as criminals, traitors, enemies of the people. Do you really think anything has changed since Hitler?
What I want to know is, what the hell is wrong @cnn.com ? Has anyone looked at their website? Their headlines are essentially saying: “Chicago is a mess. Chicago wants this.” Why not lead with Pritzker’s words? Why not do something to prevent the atrocities we all see coming?
This is a crucial point. Apathy or resignation in the face of government overreach only emboldens those in power—and the consequences escalate quickly.
Revolt & violent revolution. It’s not a mater of if but when.
Home of the most favored President is the reason behind this terror.
I want his leadership every day. Nationally.
Loving this guy…
We know.
Rock hard LaPeen pride is the ONLY feeling my feelings are feeling for Governor Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson standing tall for The Cause and kickin' it AunTAY Maxine Style! #TeamLaPeen #ObamaStyle #YouGoGirl
There’s a shortage of rational people these days, Governor. I’m sure you’ve noticed.
Rise up America 🇺🇸
I am in no way comfortable. Or going to "be" comfortable with the decisions of this executive branch. Ever. But - I already voted. I protested (am protesting). What else can I do? Congress and Judiciary needs to smack this asshole down hard.
Why do we suppose the spotlight for 2028 isn't on ANYONE in Congress or from the last Biden Admin? State Gov's are the Golden Boys for 2028. If we get the choice of ONE again, there are several who shine above Gavin Newsom Pritzker is genuine, smart, answers ?'s openly, & can SPEAK as one of US!
If only one national media outlet had the spine of our governor, but their right wing extremist owners are happy with fascism.
Wake up America. Please wake up.
@heinrich.senate.gov @repgabevasquez.bsky.social You personally, your families, any of us. Tell the truth, FIGHT HARDER!
It's Civil War?
It has been, this is what a slow burn civil war looks like.
The end of our Country
Yup
HEY, MY FRIEND PLs DONATE , REPLY the link donation pinning on my account, —— We will be evacuating tomorrow due to the instructions of the occupation army. Any donation will be appreciated during this period. 🙏🍉
The "color of law" has an ugly orange tint to it these days
Perfectly worded.
“Who are you gonna become okay with them coming after next?”
America is cheering for Chicago.
Illinois, get organized! go.bsky.app/5yDvUXj
My concern is that we're making the assumption that these are either rational or properly educated-in-history people.
Yes! What is the end game? Trump is the means to an end. He’s easily manipulated. He’s not the brain child behind this mess. The mollify him by letting him get his vengeance but not everyone around him is stupid. What are they trying to achieve by basically destroying this country as we know it.
They want to privatize every govt dept that’s why they are tearing it all down-so we’ll be happy with THEIR solution. Then they’ll run the country as a for profit business (THEIR profit). Vance is the chosen one. Felon’s just the useful idiot. That’s what proj 2025 is about. It’s about 2/3 done. .
I agree that he’s just a puppet and they pacify him and let him believe he is in charge. I don’t understand why they are pissing off our allies. We need to be able to trade and he cannot fix this disaster. I guess they have a plan for that as well. I read some of P2025 I better read the rest. Thx.
A Christofascist dictatorship
😖
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire got that shit right in the 1700s...
unfortunately there is no bottom to the virtue/abuse quadrant chart bsky.app/profile/redl...
When's the call to arms sir?
The maga plan has always been the imposition of permanent christian white supremacist rule over America. We're now just seeing the incremental steps toward that....
Not juat the maga plan, the republican plan. People need to remember that MAGA was only born out of an exercise in saying the quiet part out loud. They're fighting for all the same policies and oppression. They're just not trying to say its about fiscal responsibility
It's already here. 😩
Immediate impeachment!
Republicans are drunk on power. And it doesn’t look like they are going to sober up any time soon.
Wow, Trump's weird fantasy about being a brave war hero and all he can do is attack his own people? Weird wow
The governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago are EXACTLY what we need right now.
They're going to end SS, Medicare and public education. They're going to implement a Hunger Games (for blue state children) and they plan on making slavery legal again.
Can the courts stop this onslaught before it starts? It is a threat not a necessity.
Pritzker should send him a couple of Eli's Cheesecakes, a couple of deep-dish pizzas, 5 lbs of Italian Beef and a case of hotdogs along with a note to enjoy, courtesy of the city of Chicago.
#Refuse ‼️ I, too, refuse‼️ “Ask yourselves…what comes next?” This isn’t a Netflix thriller, it’s our reality taken hostage by a lawless, conman, sick, felon, undeveloped creature.
sure would be nice if JB would apply this exact same logic to israel
What was once the GOP - a political party - has become a death cult. The goal is to maximize the body count, because a population which is busy being sick and dying is far easier to control.
bad news: this was normalized under biden, targeting pro-palestine protests and defending genocide in gaza we warned you about the imperial boomerang
Now we can all suffer together 🌈🌞
yes, because privileged liberals would rather compromise with fascists than work with voters to their left let's see if they learn from their mistakes, but it's not looking good!
Mamdani’s success points to yes.
that's voters, the establishment are still snubbing him jeffries wants to find common ground with trump, but still won't endorse mamdani
jeffries will be primaried if he does not meet the moment the voters are in charge.
we'll see, i'm not holding my breath
tide is turning.
What's next are slave labor and concentration camps. Boy he asks a lot of rhetorical questions huh..? (/s)
Very proud of him and the mayor today! F trump!
«If you tolerate this, your children will be next» (MSP).
They are RIPPING him to shreds, I’m loving this!!!
Hes telling everybody not to accept it yet he's not deploying any troops himself to counter act an invasion? There will be no civil war. Only a cold war and it already ended. Welcome to Nazi America!!
Maybe blue states should start exploring state militias with different vetting requirements. Same with purging law enforcement of MAGA
I’ve finally figured out who Pritzker reminds me of, and it is definitely very favorable.
Yes. Haha.
this is a decidedly Chicago phenotype for sure
There have been extensive calls for Platt to get a regular SNL slot as Pritzker
I would love to see SNL bring back Bill Swerski's Super Fans (except half the group has died), with Pritzker doing a guest shot.
But have Pritzker and Platt ever been seen in the same room together?
It's the glasses. He's just like Clark Kent!
Indeed, what comes next??
This regime is pushing for secession but keeping the funds from the hard-working, tax-dense blue states to fund it. They can’t afford to let go of our portion of the National Wealth, they just want to have fun spending it while punishing us for fighting their dismal approach to leadership.
#slipperyslope into #fascism - the slow boil. #wakeup your future depends on your action or inaction. #antifascism #authoritian #nokings #nooligarchs #3e
What do they is happening to make their city safe with the national guard? All they do is relocate the problems. There is no solution-just relocation. And once the military is gone then it all comes back.
It’s important for every American to research and understand what happened during the French Revolution.
Time for Chicago to have their own Music Festival? Make Californians proud Chicago, we know you have it in you!
What comes next? Even worse atrocities.
Common sense! Go JB
Why Trump would put this years NFL season at serious risk by destabilizing and offending its municipal franchises remains a real question. The owners must be going nuts. The player’s Union ready to pounce. He’s insane.
Well, people with at least rudimentary knowledge of history knows exactly what comes next
#ThisIsNaziShit #ShutItDown #MoreOfUs #RiseUp
Something something … believe absurdities….. commit atrocities … the holocaust didn’t happen first.
We're going to find out
Trump’s mentally unstable! 25-47
Mo NC Va Ca Wa have all asked for help from the govt. for the natural disaster they have survived. He denied all of them.
Frog. Boiling water.
THIS
Nothing about this is normal and I will never be “comfortable about this”
I was driving through rural Illinois in early August & stopped at a local burger joint to grab a milkshake for the road. While I was waiting, I turned around and saw this across the street. How many of these shops are there in rural communities? It even had signs vilifying @govpritzker.illinois.gov
They are set up on street corners in Florida
Oof. In bigger cities or smaller towns?
Medium sized city/town. Vero beach, venice, places like that
i need someone to explain to me like i am an 8th grader learning civics. what is the purpose of states having national guard if they cannot defend against the federal governments tyranny? that is literally their purpose. oh they federalize them. didn't the framers address this?
⁉️
I’ve lived in the Chicago area my entire life. For years, people joked about inner city violence with laughs and repugnant racist comments. Now they are cheering for Drumpf. They couldn’t care less about violence.
Shout it louder, for those in the back!!
If you know the history of wwii, it took a few years for atrocities to culminate. And most wars are a power play for resources. The goal, replace corruption with stability, true leadership, ethical time and money investments, etc…a sustainable rather than just profit/consumption-driven way of life.
Do not get numb! Eyes wide open.
They’ve gotten us used to a president that lies daily, steals from the govt, demands personal gifts, and threatens people, entities and governments in exchange for personal gain. Now they ask you to forgive tens of thousands of civil rights violations.
They’re going in tomorrow. He needs a distraction from the victims, talking about how he raped them.
Another distraction. I wonder why?!
But what do we DO? Protesting doesn’t work. Angry town halls don’t move the needle. Writing and calling representatives is useless. What do we do? I’m begging for answers and ideas. (That don’t involve me having to buy guns)
The FBI just arrested a veteran for protesting ICE
This!
Pritzker is 100% correct. I admire this guy!
This is not about safety of US Citizens, it's about CONTROL!!!!! Arm yourself! #Resist
