Governor Pritzker is a true leader and a good man!!

And this is what keeps me up at night. Everyone talks about how the Democrats can take back the House in the 2026 election. My thought, # maybe, if there are free fair elections. And my faith in the Supreme Court grows less and less everyday.

This is what we need. More Democratic leaders speaking simple truths in front of of microphones and cameras.

I think it goes the other way. T is the complicit lackey of several others.

bsky.app/profile/cath...

Spot on.

EXACTLY! And it needs to stop.

And republicans in Congress

I like how Gov. Pritzker cuts to the chase. He keeps his argument simple, clear and concise. If only there was some way his speech could run on Fox News.

I completed HS back in the mid-sixties. We had a few kids who were enchanted by the Nazis in American History class but none of them ever amounted to anything and surely they never went anywhere near the White House. Getting one into the Oval Office is pretty astounding. How did we let that happen?

He busts Trump well.

Love Pritzker’s take no bullshit style.

I love Pritzker and he would make a great president

Some days I think trump is miller’s lackey.

Trump is creating special military units whose purpose is to combat Americans.

Marc Elias we need to unite all organizations, organize and strike. Is the only way. Soon they will have the military in all blue states. We need to act now. Someone needs to start the process.

Brains and brawn

Right message. Right tone.

Yes.

He missed something. This is about Donald Trump And Vladimir Putin.

He visually comes across as steadfast dude, moreso than Gavin.

100% on spot!

Thank you for all of your tireless work. I applaud you numerous times each day. I don’t think anyone works harder or more effectively than you do

There are several heads (Miller, Vought, Thiel etc) that need to be detached from the body (Trump) of this rampant fascist animal that’s been unleashed. Trump being ousted/dying from swollen ankles won’t be enough to turn the tide.

Is miller really trump’s lackey, or is trump his?

Word. This. True dat.

The left had better start figuring out where their allies in every branch of government are and make contingency plans for when Trump begins to execute his dictatorial ambitions. It's going to happen, and strongly worded letters won't work.

Need to vote all blue in the midterms to flip both houses to blue again please and impeach and Anil Trump and his entire regime to be inhaled etc

Way to tell it like it is, Governor

AMERICA 1ST - NATIONAL (GUARD) TOUR. Coming to a city near you! bsky.app/profile/opsa...

FINALLY someone in power saying the truth directly. Too late?

This should be the number 1 story in the country now.

Let’s hope Miller gets arrested someday. The biggest racist on this country.

I too truly agree a trillion times over and over and over and.....

Yes!! The NG and military are following unconstitutional and illegal orders.

Schumer and Jeffries take note. THIS is how it is done.

We know

It's not Trump. It's the Heritage Foundation - Trump is the useful idiot trying to avoid prison - he and his administration are the bumbling fools creating a distraction as P2025 dismantles your democracy. Enjoy Gilead.

States need to stand up or people will die.

That is it dear by the way am new here on this app trying to make genuine and honest friends with carefulness

People are already dying.

And have been for 10 years

Correct, I just assume civil war 2.0 will be far worse for the planet the Trump is now.

Trump says the governor needs to spend more time in the gym.😅🤣😂

The courts are too slow. We will be a militarily occupied country before the courts react to the takeover. They really have become irrelevant. When the violence starts, this will not be contained. People are done. The GOP better stop this now. Remove him.

Mark, Stephen Miller is not a lackey he is the mastermind. Let’s start calling him president Miller. He’ll be gone. Where’s Elon these days. Gotta use better strategies. Hit the narcissist of trump.

I’m glad he named Miller as complicit. The president might have gotten a get out of jail free card from scotus, but no one else did.

The Nat'l Guard, FBI, DOJ, & nat'l security apparatus have defined purposes: helping during real crises/ disasters, fighting spies, opposing foreign hackers, finding & stopping terrorists, etc. When they are instead terrorizing immigrants & occupying US cities, they aren't doing these things.

Is there anyway to sue this administration/regime for the overreach in declaring phony emergencies in these various locations and then sending troops?

I suspect Miller is more architect than lackey, but otherwise, yes.

The problem is what are we going to do about it. Lawsuits won’t work as Trump will ignore them. There has to be massive street demonstrations all over the country. It’s worked in other autocratic countries or dictatorships.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! 👍

💯⬆️

America Has Been Warned

Did he go to Home Depot there also? 😡 Steven Miller belongs in Hell👿🔥

I wonder when cheeto succumbs to that last Big Mac, will eyeliner boy be as enamoured with Voldemort as his boss? Vance seems like the understudy, appearing complacent in their role, only to derail things when they finally take the stage. He answers to a different guy.

🎯

Serious shots fired. We are nearing a boiling point.

Dem governors are the nucleus of resistance. They are strong, they are elected, they have powers, and several of them are persuasive leaders. Looking for the new leaders? They are striding forward! CA, IL, MD, even NY.

Glad that he also placed blame on Stephen Miller. He is up to his eyeballs in all of this. Especially destroying democracy.

I’m pretty grateful to have a governor who is determined to stand up against this regime instead of pretending to be while capitulating like another Dem governor I used to call my own. The difference between the states and governors are night and day. Illinois is in its own league.

I hear that some of the Dem governors are meeting and working together. I’m hoping more will continue to emerge as leaders.

file state terrorism charges against steven miller

I’m glad he called out Trumps handler. Stephen Miller is pure evil.

This is Martial Law! He’s knows better than to use those words! He knows Americans will take him out fast! Just like SK did!🤬😈

Dictators use the military to keep their people in line. Why is this happening in the USA?

I mean… They may still be covering their stupid faces, but Racists are no longer HIDING who they are as a people, are they?????

Nice seeing you on @nicollewallace.bsky.social @msnbc.com speaking truth!!!

Trump has no idea about anything he says - it’s the 2025 playbook boys calling all the shots - Trump is an empty suit - Don’t give the puppet any credit

Love that he calls out the press for not reporting on what is really happening…….

As a Chicago native, I can tell you Pritzker is an amazing governor AND a gem of a human. Calls it like it is, takes no shit and one of the very few billionaires that cares deeply about people. He/his family does everything they can to help others, for decades.

You make a point there by the way am new here on this app trying to make genuine and honest friends with carefulness

Yup

We have the best governor in Illinois.

AND Stephen Miller is certifiably insane.

I think this statement was 100% correct prior to June 9th 2025. After landing marines in Los Angeles they are no longer searching for ways to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities and end our elections. They know what to do. They're doing it. The time for reporting and commentary is past

The next step is to have a sitting Governor in a blue state arrested and jailed.

I think that Miller is trying to paint the resistance into a corner where violent resistance is the only palatable option. Can’t say we’re not on the way to that point, though large groups of citizens can band together and ICE has backed off.

This is gonna end really badly. The American people deserve better 🇺🇲

No one seems to understand this fucking simple fact.

His speech was awesome! Showed the orange TACO buffoon who not to F*ck with!

Gov is 100%correct. People are getting kidnapped going to court, do you think they will show up to vote with NGs standing around? Dictatorship.

The Nobel Peace prize needs to go to the person who grows a spine and destroys trump and his fascist cult!

Exactamundo it’s all about not allowing black and brown people to vote

His words should be said by all Governors of each state that wants to keep our democracy.

bsky.app/profile/patr...

Bunch of arrogant white dudes playing police without the training of the integrity.

youtu.be/EiZL8QeJMkQ?...

Pritzker and his comms people are doing a great job.

Well I’d reverse it since Miller is a Nazi and he’s steering the hate ship here but otherwise, yea.

Everyone knows that Trump and the Republicans are intent on converting the U.S. into an AUTHORITARIAN FASCIST government, and they are well on the way of accomplishing it. | At what point, and with what METHOD, will our Democracy STOP them? What action will it take to END their ongoing THREAT?

We need to have some serious discussions about this. I’ve been calling for this for a long time. The governors are working defense. Where is our offense? It ain’t gonna be the mid-terms!

Plus have military on the streets to stop LEGAL immigrants from fairly voting at election time, if they stop mail in voting.

Marc, I have to disagree. Donald Trump is Stephen Miller's complicit lackey.

🎯🎯🎯

Absolutely

Such a perilous moment. Judge J. Michael Luttig warns that Chief Justice Roberts is emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism. “Do Not Obey Illegal Orders” must be our daily headline. Congress is anesthetized, so it falls to us, the people, to resist and defend the Constitution.

This is correct and it is not a new thing. Many president have used their immense power in similar ways. From the beginning of this country we have given the president too much power.

Our Democratic governors are stepping up. Our Democratic members of Congress need to match their level.

Fear the autocrats. Trump, Miller, complicit GOP, and those traitors pushing Project 2025. They are colluding to end fair elections and to bring down US law & order.

They are indeed. There is no other plan in place.

And I love how he calls our Cronie S Miller as he should. Miller is the whitepower faction in DC

True leader. Pritzker is 100% correct. Glad to see @duckworth.senate.gov just behind the governor—she’s another strong elected leader!

Go louder Pritzker !!!!!

The only thing I’m not sure about is which one is the complicit lackey: Miller, or DJT?

Tell it big guy!

It looks every bit like a coup de'tat.

We need to be paying attention

Pritzker is a courageous man and we need to stand behind him. Unlike the cowardly bootlickers among America’s business CEOs who seem to think as long as they keep paying up the autocrat will leave them alone. Fools all!

Oligarchs will oligarch. Neoliberal economic ideology (aka trickledown, supply side, “abundance”) created the environment where $80 T in wealth was transferred to the 1% over the past 40 yrs. All the right, all the CEOs, the media and most of the Dems subscribe to that nonsensical notion.

The idea that if we give all our money to billionaires we too will *magically* become rich was always nonsense. It brought us fascism and corrupted our government. It is why most Dems won’t fight. The money doesn’t want them to.

Agreed. And very Strong MEN are standing up. Marc you rock.

The rest of the Democratic governors need to take some lessons. Heck, so do the Senators.

Truth is wonderful, he is awesome!!!!

It's about time they started calling out Stephen Miller.

This guy is who we need to get behind.

Newsom is a good attack dog but he's got that smarmy air about him.

I’m laughing so hard if you actually believe this nonsense!

I feel like Trump is Miller’s lackey

Lol am new there handsome can we be friends

💕💕💕💕💕💕the Gov⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️

Presidential material.

Lol 😆 am new here beautiful 😍 trying to make genuine friends with carefulness

Send to the supreme court now

It would be nice if the rest of democrats would grow a spine like this guy and a couple of others

Trump republicans aren’t happy enough turning their districts and states into shitholes; they feel they must turn democratic jurisdictions into shitholes as well.

Impeach Trump

Mr Pritzger, ban Palantir and passive police surveillance from our state!!!

Yep, exactly what JB said.

And he is a dictator in practice.

people get ready the revolution is here whether you like it or not

Happy another governor is loudly speaking out. More please.

I'd wager miller is the mastermind. as typical, trump is the useful idiot

He js

*is*

Not just him. He just brings the Nazi vibe. There is a cabal of billionaires, think tanks, CEOs, and media behind the coup.

And don’t forget the Christi-fascists.

*christo-fadcists

Argh! *christo-fascists

I have never been prouder of my governor! I'm so grateful to have him standing up for all of us

Can that be wall-to-wall news coverage now?

With 2 different goals for each: Miller to eliminate brown people as revenge for being dumped as a teenager, and trump to stay out of prison.

And once again, for all it's worth:

Watching Penguin Lessons. Film set in 1976 Argentina—people grabbed off the streets. People silenced by fear and desperation. Armed national guard in the streets of our nation’s capital. 2025. Any word from Schumer or Jeffries? Anything??? 🤔😡🤔😡

So true

Buy a van and join the GREAT MIGRATION Get mobile.. We don't need cities just residences there This isn't over by a long shot so yall are gonna half to git froggy

What? What the fuck are you talking about?

He's been caught red handed rigging an election. General strike New elections We have to bob and weave If they come to cities, go nomad

Thank You, @govpritzker.illinois.gov ‼️‼️ We need leadership like you, @governor.ca.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov We. Have. To. End. Trump. Reign. Of. Terror.

I'm proud of my governor.

Stephen Miller is doing all of this. Demento doesn't know what day it is, or what city/state he's in, or who is in the room with him. He's making proclamations about baseball...unhinged. Truly quite ill. When will someone mention this on live video? Tell the truth to Americans...

Yup. Trump just sits on his golden throne & delivers edicts "The mayor of (pick a city with a Black mayor) is doing a shit job" "I know everything" "trump is right about everything" "he's guilty". It goes on & on. To start with, Mayors running of cities IS NONE OF HIS EFFING BUSINESS. Not your job.

This will cause civil unrest...like you have never seen. Like the Watts Riots or 1992 LA. Maybe not right away, but over time it will add up. I am just really wondering what is coming next? What is he going to do to cause us to get up in arms?

I really wonder though what he is planning that he wants us in lockdown. There must be something going on. He couldn't find all the "illegals" he promised because they don't exist. So this is what he does instead? This isn't going to make his MAGATs particularly happy I don't think.

He's damn right. But I think we will circumvent this crap anyway. The more he does it the more we will vote him and his cronies out. It's the only way.

I agree with you and I like you but don't let Pritzker fool you and your patting him on the back he is covering up the death of Anthony Stringfellow and retaliation against workers who spoke up for him at Madden Mental Health because of corruption in his DHS agency that's why dems are losing

Give it a rest!

Never gonna happen

Illinois, get organized! go.bsky.app/5yDvUXj

There is also no emergency at King Soopers (Kroger) grocery stores in Colorado that requires ARMED guards checking receipts to prevent shoplifting. THIS IS HAPPENING, NOW! This will having a last effect, especially on children. The psychological message is that we are not safe anywhere in the USA

Today, his speech had me wishing me wishing he was our president. We need more of what he is delivering.

I'd say it's 90% correct. I think the lackey is trump, and Steven Miller is the fascist mastermind. Trump is the malignant narcissist trojan horse that Miller & the heritage foundation idealogues are riding to victory in their decades-long campaign to dislodge a democracy that favors progressivism.

Hey Drumpf...People like Gov. Pritzker. Not makeup, no loopy hair, no fake bronzer on his face. He's intelligent and respects the rule of law. You are in no way, shape, or form to be critiquing anyone's appearance. The Governor also speaks in complete sentences. Those are all things you can't do.

🎯

Pritzker has been passing laws with the Illinois state legislature for over a year preparing for this horrible inevitability.

He’s not just talking — she’s warning us: we must be ready, we must be willing to protest. Listen closely, and it’s all there. If it still doesn’t sink in, look back at how movements spread through the broadcasting systems of the 1960s and ’70s.

I hope people will wake the hell up. Authoritarianism is here.

This is truth

Add that he swore an oath on the Bible* to preserve protect and defend There’s no day-1 or day-209 exception to the oath. *if he says he never put his hand on the Bible, a decent opposition could bury him.

3 branches of government merge and become 1 branch of corruption.

Not end elections. He wants elections. He wants to change who votes. Police presence reduces voting. Especially with people of color. What will adding the military do?

Don’t forget Russell Vought. He’s part of the catalyst, too.

The Heritage Foundation must be outlawed, and all its members/henchpersons/co-conspirators tried, convicted and imprisoned for treason against our nation!

Lil Goebbels is on the line with Whiskey Pete right now begging for drone strikes in Chicago.

Just remember. When our rights have been taken away and families red or blue are separated . We could have stopped him with a loud vote saying no to hate😢

Yes. Pritzker has been ahead of the game with Trump for a while now. He has laws enacted to protect against Trump’s evil plans in Illinois.

I live Pritzker. Do we think he will run for president? (If we have elections).

👍🏻

“He should be spending more time in the gym, actually.” Now the President is body shaming a sitting governor. If anyone should keep his mouth shut about physical fitness, it’s Donny “One Ton” Mulligan.

If we don't remind them now that the 2nd Amendment belongs to us all, that Trump is not above the law and the constitution, then 2026 is going to be bloody but 2028 is going to become genocide.

I have a feeling Stephen miller is running the white house.

1000% accurate

#Epstein

I want to move to Illinois.

Absolutely....these MAGA folks are appointing folks who will Question ,any Election....and it's Integrity...even though using the word "Integrity "in the same sentence as MAGA is not possible.

Old enough to remember the consent decree the GOP was put under for pulling crap in the 1980 election, lasted until 2018. Now I fully expect "Voter integrity" ICE patrols in our urban voting districts for the mid terms. And SCOTUS will allow it, and anything else POtuS needs to "win".

Right... do as I say but not as I do !

An unholy alliance between GO'Pedo and the American evangelical has propelled them to an illusion that they are destined to rule by the divine right ..of being right (godly) Elections are merely an obstacle to be overcome, or if need be, overwhelmed by sheer force. Y'know..Biblical values.

These MAGA folks, have a skewed perception about the Bible.... Want Babies but not to help with Programs, like SNAP ,to help feed children.

They forget that their "section" of the Bible is a small and "new" part of the Holy Bible, A new covenant, that turned away from the eye for an eye, or indiscriminate slaughter of enemies, including their children, of the Old testament. Let's face facts, they despise the teachings of the Christ.

Thank you Governor!!!

Yep, laws apply to everyone except him and his thugs.

Can we use a class action lawsuit to fight the government for accepting trump’s application to run for office in the 2024 election? Somewhere there is a clerk who accepted paperwork that should have been rejected. That mistake put everything that we’re dealing with into motion.

What worries me - if Biden had signed a nonsense EO threatening anyone that burnt a flag with a year in prison (or some similar 1A violation), you’d have had dozens of people burning them and filming it by now. And rightly so. The fact that you don’t here - suggests people are becoming cowed.

We know that his executive order has no power since it violates the First Amendment. We do not need to tempt Trump's cops into shooting citizens.

Your philosophy is flawed.

How so?

Here is the difference: The people who would have burned flags to spite Biden would have been maga assholes. Just because Democrats aren't running out to burn flags to spite the Manchurian Cantaloupe doesn't mean we are cowed, it's more that we know his stupid EOs aren't the law so why bother?

You can't spell HATRED without RED HAT!

errr … not 100% correct. That’s not the president’s complicit lackey. He’s the architect

💯

Not exactly. It's about Stephen Miller and his lackey, dumald trump.

💯 %!!!

Complicit unelected unconfirmed wackadoodle lackey

AND WHO’S GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIM?!?! WHO?! WWWHHHHOOOOO?!?!

Fuck Miller. Fuck Trump. Little shits got where they are because of this Republic and now they want to shut the door behind them small minded little shits!

It would be nice if we had a functioning Supreme Court.

😮‍💨

HI beautiful 😍 am new here on this app trying to make genuine friends with carefulness

Unfortunately they're functioning exactly the way they were paid to.. totally compromised.

And a Congress.

You better believe it bro.

Truth!!

Yep

I enjoyed this speech! 💙

👍👍👍👍 👏👏👏👏 💙✊💪💙

Definitely

That’s exactly what they’re doing..and if the public reacts they will jump all over it! 😡

Trump calling Democratic Governors dictators is exactly the projection we expect from a Fascist who is fumbling with the last few brain cells he has.

Agreed and how do we circumvent election interference?

I am not an Attorney, I think: Start painting Property Lines around Federal Buildings. That is their sole jurisdiction, outside of DC city limits.. This far and no farther.

The words dictator and fascism ought to be used with far greater frequency than they have been so far.

Exactly 😊am new here on this app trying to make genuine and honest friends with carefulness

Generally agree but I suspect Miiler is the mastermind and Trump more the complicit figurehead lackey. We've got to be more aware that this isn't just, or even primarily Trump.

"...AND END ELECTIONS!"

The only thing I take issue with is Steven Miller being a lackey. I think he’s an architect.
