I'm watching alongside Illinoisans what's happening in our country right now with dread.
The authoritarian playbook is laid bare: they point to a group of people who don't look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.
What comes next?

Check your history books from 1929 Weimar Germany, and also look at what Henry Ford was supporting. America exports it's hate for profit.
We storm ashore and we make those fascists wish they'd never been born.
We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.
I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

Who will succeed Him?
Wouldn't fancy any of his progeny as royalty!
It won't happen.
Southern states had to alter our constitutions to reflect that.
Peaceful secession is, at absolute best, a fantasy.
That’s been the legal agreement since Reconstruction.
Not liking that doesn’t change it. From a state that regularly has it on the ballot, and this bullshit regularly comes up.
Talk of secession whether it's about Texas, California, or the Pacific Northwest is fueled by Russian online counter-ops campaigns.
We fought a war over secession and human rights. It's deeply unpatriotic to even consider the breakup of these United States.

MAKE SOME NOISE!
The Cook County Circuit Court found that, after January 6, 2021, Trump cannot Constitutionally server as President.

And, again, the SCOTUS ruling in Trump v. Anderson never actually addressed the finding of disqualification, let alone overruled it. It only kept states from removing him from the ballot.
Regardless, majorities in both houses in Congress found him guilty of incitement of insurrection, courts of law in 2 states found him barred from office, and SCOTUS never actually disagreed with that finding.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.
💙🌊🥊💪🏻🇺🇸❤️🩹

We would love to move there but don’t know where to start or how we can afford it.
What if your state starts a refugee program that offers assistance to people like us?
We need less poetry and more actionable items to do here.
“Gathering my justice” doesn’t mean anything.
What can we ACTUALLY do?
I wish many more Governors would follow your leadership example.
We the People need to take over.
We CAN and we MUST persevere.
But hearing your thoughts like this @govpritzker.illinois.gov SURE is helpful!
Do not despair!
We're the United States of America & there's nothing we can't do if we set our minds to it.

And the GOP? A garden slug has more backbone.
Congress is pretty much the reason we have this problem in the first place.
NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL LOBBYING IS ILLEGAL!
Takes an extraordinary club of losers to lose to a loser like Donald Trump. Americans are sick of losers justifying other losers.
Still waiting for an apology for the Obama/Musk tech bro sellout. We still aren't talking about that?

You should also send this to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. The "courage" part, anyway. They may need a dictionary or a thesaurus or something with that.
Or they could just follow your example.
They count on precisely the fact most people underestimate their own numbers vs fascists, & self-censor or pre-comply.
When we fight, we win.
That'd be a great move to work on right now.

The only difference is this guy has a blue sky account
1) congressional democrats have little power via the rulebook
2) congressional democrats are not using the power they do have
3) congressional democrats are giving votes to trump's appointees and should not do so.
I’m one of your voters.
We need to go to Washington ASAP and create a shadow government and in a non violent way we need needs to create a movement occupying Washington (same as it was occupying Wall Street or Maidan square).
If we fail now, then we need to think about secession.

The courts aren’t likely to save us if he ignores their unenforced orders
Only a union of senior military leadership refusing to follow illegal orders supported by a union of governors supporting military leaders will save the republic. These are the FINAL guardrails
2: not as large a majority as you think. Not even a large majority. Almost as many liberals own guns as Conservatives.
I hope you are right on the second part. In case. Trying to remember who said it would be a bloodless takeover, if the Democrats let it.

Some things I’ve been thinking about
I feel for you «good» Americans rn!
Most of us ARE good. But too many of us were complacent.
This is a red alert to Europe - band together & arm up. Unless Trump/Musk/Putin are ultimately defeated, all democracy is at risk.
Surely segments of the Gov are following developments, planning an intervention.
Surely there are patriots following the defiance of court TROs
This power grab is the definition of dictatorship, tyranny,
Repression, oppression, subjugation will follow
You haven't seen yet?

You chose this gig. Uphold your oath.

I wish you could enlist EVERY elected Democrat to bring the same focus and fire to their work.
We’ve been taken over by an authoritarian ripping through our government to solidify power. We need to fight NOW.
We need more leaders speaking out! Please stop the damage he’s doing to our nation! 💔💙🙏

Rent a banquet room and make it the opposition press room. Get Pete in there talking to the press. I bet the AP shows up.

It's not a threat, it's drawing a personal boundary in a state where violence is wielded in arbitrary ways, and essentially a revocation of the state's monopoly on violence

This needs to be the messaging of all Democrats, not because it's effective political theater, but because it's the truth, and people need to be prepared and appropriately angry/scared.

Nazis prevailed for the same reason Repubs will - lack of meaningful resistance.
Personally, I’d like to see Dems talking about organized strikes.
And thank you!
We need everyone to stop normalizing this behavior and start sounding true alarm bells. Editors need to push back and publish hard-hitters. Bigger protests.
Thank you, Gov Pritzker.
I am fairly confident that he never declared bankruptcy or inspired/incited/cajoled a murderous mob to commit an insurrection over a false claim that he lost an election.
Stay Strong Gov Pritzker! We need you!

Cameras without distribution fall short in a media landscape owned and operated by billionaire oligarchs working for billionaire oligarchs.
It's important right now to promote independent media and uncompromising social media platforms.
Be certain to shore up your chain of command with your National Guard while you are talking about Kings.
Any presidential order to federalize must go through you, Governor. Refuse illegal mobilization.
And no orders from the president to non-federalized guard units, not ever.
