I think Pritzker is much too smart to fall for that.

He's really quite demented, isn't he?

Yeah, I'm sure nobody across the country has thought of this. Thank god this social media rando was here to show JB Pritzker the path forward.

Trust Act, look it up.
JB heads the ISP, which is providing crowd control for ICE. Remember that when regime goons are shooting people in the street, peppering pastors in the head and stomping your sissy flaming ass into the asphalt.

He doesn't have a framework. Stop pretending he has plan. He has no plans for anything. Start trying to do some actual journalism. You might enjoy it!

Wonderful video from Rick Steves in Poland. Reports he's cancer free, which is great news.

Yeah, JB should challenge Trump to an MMA fight in Grant Park!

Bluesky needs a bigger eye roll emoji.

Alfalfa Romeo @alfalfaromeo.bsky.social · 5h

If JB has any presidential ambitions, now is the time for him to start walking his tough talk. He's got the opportunity to go head to head with the Trump regime's goon squad and its white rascist supporters. I'll bet he won't do a damn thing but continue with his usual rhetoric and complaints.

Ray Lopez is trash.

The TRiiBE @thetriibe.com · 4h

In February, as a guest on the far-right podcast Real America’s Voice News, Chicago Ald. Ray Lopez said he met with “Border Czar” Tom Homan and offered to give him Mayor Johnson’s home address “so that if he wanted to arrest him immediately and do us all that favor.”

Trump isn’t the first elected official to suggest jail for Mayor Brandon Johnson • The TRiiBE

Months before President Trump, Chicago Ald. Raymond Lopez suggested his administration arrests Johnson.

Trump is particularly afraid of this guy. It is entirely possible JB will be in a position to arrest Trump in 2028. Not that he would, but you better believe Trump is worried about what happens when the crime spree ends

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 7h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

It hasn't been about left vs right since 2016.

Mark Jacob @markjacob.bsky.social · 8h

The best way to get beyond the "it's just politics" mentality is to avoid framing our current crisis as left vs. right and instead frame it as decency vs. indecency.
