Yeah, I'm like across the street from Illinois. So close, yet so far.

Plenty of room here 👍🏻😊

It is helpful. Ty @jbpritzker.bsky.social

Me too! I live in Iowa and our governor is a Felon47 puppet. We are surrounded by amazing governors. Governor Walz in Minnesota and Governor Pritzker in Illinois.

Chicago would welcome you with open arms and Italian Beef sandwiches!

Maryland has a great governor! @govwesmoore.bsky.social

Bob Ferguson Washington -- He's got a spine

You’re guv doesn’t quote the bible and spread conspiracies?? Must be nice.

Right? Desatan is abominable. He will wear the alligator Auschwitz disaster for the rest of time.

I feel you. I'm in Florida 🫂

😭😭

I live in a blue state; our governor stays quiet and hidden. She's useless.

Iowa here. I call and email my reps and the only responses I get are regime propaganda and lies, when I get a response at all. Mostly I leave messages on machines or with soul-dead staffers.

It's a partial relief. #Pritzker.

No matter what state we’re in we can’t give up. I support the leaders who speak up when I agree with them but I know they aren’t always on our side. We need more strategy

Women have rights in blue states.

It is. And I’m sorry yours doesn’t.

JB turned out better than we expected.

Living in one of those States that the Governor wants to Gerrymander the crap out of it !! It sucks when you believe in free and fair elections and realize that isn’t happening anymore!!

2 decades of republican goofs getting closer and closer to far right in my state, with a few blue pockets that will be chopped up in the upcoming redistricting plan. I want a new planet.

Come see us in California 🌴☀️

Colorado rides the line with a gay libertarian governor, sometimes we're like fuck yeh and sometimes it's oh no

He supports RFK which is an immediate disqualification. Polis hasn’t done anything for Colorado, unless you know something I don’t?

I thought he handled the pandemic as well as anyone could He expanded Medicaid, backs a state medical insurance program, extended child health benefits to undocumented children He expanded school meal programs Supports affordable housing He expanded SNAP Continues to navigate budget cuts

We here in Florida agree

I have Cox. He did a performative interview with Steve Inskeep ( who I no longer listen to). Inskeep was promoting his book, “Disagree Better”. Such a joke, both of them. Cox is MAGA. It’s awful.

Don't bet on it. There are a whole lot of things they don't give a damn about. Being so close and yet so far is painful.

It is & isn’t. I’m in Chicago. We will be made to pay for our governor’s progressive views. But there is comfort in knowing we have rights that will be protected as fiercely as possible. But we don’t want to die. Chicago, Pritzker & Johnson are personal for him so this is different

Mine wouldn't

Myself

and have a soul

Sorry you don't have one. Here in Colorado I thought we had one, maybe he'll surprise me, but he's been making noises about supporting RFK, Jr., so I'm not sure. Our Denver mayor is a fighter, though.

Sigh…same. And it sucks to see so many blue state residents posting about wanting to leave red states for dead. “Cut them loose” is the term I have seen multiple times. We are all Americans, regardless of where we live. Some of us have shitty gerrymandered states and are doing what we can.

Kentucky is a double edged sword. Our governor cares deeply. But he's the only one.

Ours acted like she gave a damn, so we elected her. But she’s been a massive disappointment. @tinakotek.bsky.social

Sorry… but Pa has state level gop senate & house. Several of whom participated in #January6Attack. So there’s that 🤦🏻‍♀️

PA is in a tough spot right now. So sorry.

Can't relate 😭

We're so fortunate...

It’s fabulous, come to Minnesota!

I live in California. More than ANYTHING ELSE I want California to GET THE FUCK OUT of the United States....we are IDIOTS for trying to use stuff like logic, common sense, and the law to "work" with the Satanic dirtbag RepubliKKKans-they are all pure evil and Calif supports TONS of enemy Red states

I got MeMaw Ivy. Bitch is so old a brisk wind could turn her into a pile of ash. I hate this place.

Hellooooooo from Illinois! Yes, we are fortunate.

Except that we get the National Guard with above the law nationalized police tactics forced on us.

It is JB is my Governor!!❤️

Sort of, our gas prices are punishment, etc. There's plenty of counties here in Washington that are absolutely infested with cult members. The cult member population in Steven's County doubled since 2017. Gross people, cat box ash tray flavor,with bed sores on thier faces.

Henry McMaster is from an original wealthy slave owning South Carolina family. When he speaks, he sounds like Foghorn Leghorn. 🐔

Yes, I live in supermajority, autocratic red hell as well

👋🏾MD resident here. Having a Black man in the most powerful position in my state doesn't mean people who live here aren't suffering from being unhoused or having lack of access to healthcare. There are armed security in nearly every grocery store - even when Biden was president. America is crazy.

Duuuude move to Maryland! It's beautiful and even when we get a republican governor they aren't crazy, just annoying.

eh, gavin keeps throwing vulnerable people under the bus and I just get to yell at Nancy Pelosi's answering machine a lot. At times I wish I had a GOP Rep or Senator I could scream at. That said, I'mma keep yelling at who I can yell at.

Who's been thrown under the bus? I'm proud to be a Californian and a govenor stepping up to fight against the authoritarianism of trump and his MAGAt enforcers.

Most recently trans people and the homeless.

You're entitled.

Believe whatever you want about me. I'm not willing to sacrifice people for political expediency. Gavin Newsom is.

When you stand against the person that is standing in the way of the real threat of authoritarianism...you're complicit in the real threat trump and his MAGAt enforcers pose to those you wish to protect.

jfc. there are other people standing in trump's way who aren't willing to sacrifice my friends or their children. I support them. you can call me whatever the fuck you want to, but conceding that there are people for whom fighting is just too hard isn't going to cut it with me.

I'm just trying to have a conversation. Politics isn't a purity test.

knowing nothing about me but calling me complicit for not supporting an asshole politician who casually, jokingly sacrifices vulnerable populations' safety for his own political ambitions is a bad way to start or sustain a conversation.

You sound angry. That's not productive.

Same here and I live in a blue state.

Get the vote out, is how you get rid of them . And you can say they rigged the elections for the republicans but if the republicans aren’t happy either….. and they shouldn’t be , gerrymandering doesn’t matter. push it. Stand up Do your part

Same

Watching all these states talk about collaborating their state departments of health… and I’m sitting here in Florida mad jealous.

Debating whether to move. One the one hand, I'm quite jealous, too. On the other, those states are in the regime's crosshairs.

Can't relate, I live in California.

Love having our Gov, AG and SoS all women

It is, but MANY WILL BE TESTED in future if we don't STOP IT NOW!
