THAT'S MY GOVERNOR

(Every IL progressive's greatest happy surprise, how damn good he turned out to be)

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

I had some doubts in the beginning, but he’s won me over.

We all did/ he did us all, no?

Both billionaires and Illinois governors have a dodgy track record, tbf.

Right? I've been more and more impressed with him the longer he's been in office.

Proud to have helped vote him in. Sad I had to move out of state later.

Does he have a brother we can have, one state west? Because the one we have is a nightmare.

There are a bunch of Pritzkers on that family tree. If any others have been raised with that kinda moral fiber they really should be passing them out fr

Have been following him for a while - the thing I really like about him is although he's from one of richest families in the country - I have never heard him speak from the entitled, Master of the Universe pov like Musk, Thiel, etc. JB is a man of privilege who speaks and acts like Tim Walz

(one of them somewhere way off on some branch was a former student of mine and she was wonderful, so that's 2/2 about whom I can say anything concrete. And I know one was funding a complete translation of the Zohar, but that's all I know.)

Keep your Iowa neighbors in your prayers. It's dark days here this week.

theradr.bsky.social•6 days ago

💔 prayers up.

I am in awe of JB.

He just keeps making me prouder and prouder (and more relieved) to live in IL

Mine too. And yes, I'm one of the pleasantly surprised!
