IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed. - ThreadSky

I believe Kamala was cheated, along with us, the Democrats.

rosehillband.bsky.social•67 days ago

Trump is the figure head of a coup. Putin runs the show. The object is to make us sick, demoralized, disunited, unable as citizens to fight back.

I am so proud of my Governor!

bigskygirl.bsky.social•66 days ago

Yes we are in. Complete idocracy

nurseforlife.bsky.social•67 days ago

I think he would be as good leader for the Democrat Party & a presidential contender.

daralebrun.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm old enough to remember Biden saying these kinds of things. Glad to see common sense and decency are being revived.

caldawn.bsky.social•67 days ago

Thank God for Gov Pritzker! I so proud to call him my governor. He sees clearly what is happening in America and in Washington. He’s not painting any rosy pictures, but he gives me hope.

bitcoindavey.bsky.social•67 days ago

So what’s your point ?

christinabean.bsky.social•67 days ago

Truth.

blowen.bsky.social•67 days ago

I am so god damn lucky to live here. I mean, like tears in my eyes lucky.

rebeccawithacause.bsky.social•67 days ago

I feel the same. 🥹

madisonnative.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm glad IL has him too. That's how I felt last night watching our Gov Ever's address. POS Robin Vos behind him playing contrarian. Despicable. Like SOTU, half the chamber sat while democrats stood and applauded programs for children's learning and health. Sour grapes they are. No more whine from Rs

jc99whit.bsky.social•67 days ago

Proud of my gov. He is the only one who is taking a strong offensive position.

rebeccawithacause.bsky.social•67 days ago

As he says in the speech, Democrats will gain nothing if they comply. And he is 100% right.

mayan205.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm sure he will thank you for the compliment

My math was wrong. Elon Musk is worth $400,000,000,000. It would take him 29,178 years to spend $5,000 a day and go broke. Do you Trump supporters get it yet? This is the billionaire shreading Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid he is paying into, FOR YOU.

Why is this man not President?

sweakie.bsky.social•67 days ago

Love my Governor!

politicalgal.bsky.social•67 days ago

I want to move to Illinois. Gov. Pritzker spoke truthfully. Every Republican Senator & Congressman should be ashamed for not abiding by the Constitution & supporting a dictator, a dying dictator, just like Putin a dying dictator.
Gladwell's new book talks about this Holocaust memorial. Thx posting.

edgarallanheaux.bsky.social•67 days ago

And Illinois would welcome you! Just maybe avoid Southern Illinois, pretty red down there.

dslovejoy.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's been proven just how many idiots there are in the country.

chrisbyc.bsky.social•67 days ago

Most excellent. Rachel played the last 3 minutes or so of his speech. Pritzker could be president. I may have to more back to Illinois.

Hey dem leaders this is how you should communicate. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @davidhogg.bsky.social 🤩

itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social•67 days ago

How about getting into some "Good Trouble" Hakeem? Like a sit in at the IRS to prevent Musk from entering the building? Or DailyPress briefings in front of different agencies informing people about how these cuts will affect them? Or holding Town Halls in the Districts of vulnerable Republicans?

Truth to power...the people's power, isn't it?

keithfromohio.bsky.social•67 days ago

In the sauna at the gym last night I had to listen to 5 guys say Hitler did a lot of great things, that Jews deserve to die (they also claim that Jews inflated the Holocaust death toll) and said that Jewish people control the porn industry, which is more dangerous than guns. Im terrified of America.

rebeccawithacause.bsky.social•67 days ago

Oh wow, that’s awful!! I just don’t understand what is wrong with people. When did “Nazis are bad” become a controversial statement?

keithfromohio.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's men. It's the Joe Rogan/Andrew Tate-o-sphere. Republicans are becoming Nazis and they're realizing they need to justify Nazi behavior for them to justify their own desires for absolute control, power, and the ability to kill off those they hate. it's all tied into their masculinity issues.

rebeccawithacause.bsky.social•67 days ago

When Zuck said he wanted more “masculine energy” at Meta I truly wanted to vomit. This mentality is a blight on humanity and SO dangerous.

keithfromohio.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yeah, and it's crazy how many Americans seem to just not care. Like, it's wild to go on LinkedIn right now and see people being like "The hardest part of 2025 is trying to figure out which font I should type my resume in!" And I'm like...ARE WE LIVING IN THE SAME 2025??????

rebeccawithacause.bsky.social•67 days ago

I long for a world where I had few enough problems to care about fonts… but I can’t see ANY universe where I would enjoy spending time on LinkedIn 😆

ceciliafund.bsky.social•67 days ago

He is becoming America’s Governor.
Kind, compassionate and strong.
Love him. 💙

pinupual-2.bsky.social•67 days ago

Not too early to sound the 5-alarm fire. Thank you for standing up to DJT. Not from IL, but nonetheless Gov. Pritzker made a great plea not only for Illinois, but to the country.

daimakku.bsky.social•67 days ago

Gov Pritzker is proof that not ALL billionaires are bad. Just most of them, unfortunately.

glen2.bsky.social•67 days ago

77 million idiots apparently!

catjando.bsky.social•67 days ago

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is a born leader. He stands up for the people in his state and for the country!

jamesyesoro.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm 71, disabled just over border in WI. I think I may have to move to your state to save myself. Keep fighting, stay governor, and kick that felon into the gutter. I appreciate your STRONG WORDS..SOMEONE HAS TO STAND AGAINST THIS TYRANNY.

fusciacat.bsky.social•67 days ago

Il Gov. Pritzker is a powerful speaker. I could listen to him for an hour. He was wonderful. This is what a leader sounds like.

matteofights.bsky.social•67 days ago

This man needs a national platform. I know Illinois needs good governance but, Good God, we need a national figure to start bringing it hard. Every. Fucking. Day. Is his lieutenant governor capable of running the state?

rebeccawithacause.bsky.social•67 days ago

That’s a good question about the Lieutenant Governor. I don’t know a whole lot about her. But I would love to see JB run for President. For now, I just want him to keep doing what he’s doing and hope others follow suit.

matts-99.bsky.social•67 days ago

He says great things. We don’t need another billionaire.

afroburrito.bsky.social•67 days ago

I way to like him more. I know he's getting ready for a presidential run, so these are useful speeches. But I don't believe in "good" billionaires.

thetallsister.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yep. The hell with them. Let god and history be their judge

jlroberson.bsky.social•67 days ago

There are fragile times in history when all evil has to do is simply say I'm doing this horrible thing and I'm enjoying that it's horrible, and people will just say okay I guess you get to do that

rebeccawithacause.bsky.social•67 days ago

Absolutely, and this appears to be one of those times. We just have to make sure that a critical mass of people do NOT do that. It’s our only hope.

w2jmf.bsky.social•67 days ago

He’s a lovely guy. He needs to change his lifestyle though so he can be around for much longer.

Our Illinois Governor is amazing.

deathweasel.io•67 days ago

Is he suggesting what I think he’s suggesting?

caligirl4ever.bsky.social•67 days ago

my governor, gavin newsom, is pretty awesome. i think he’s laying low hoping for $$$$ for so cal fires. but i love Gov P, love him! he speaks truth to power. i’d totally vote for him!
