We need help with the suicide rates climbing in 13-26 year olds feeling hopeless
Feeling like targets for hate crimes
A lot of Chicago suburban schools might cancel “woke” clubs to not create issues.
We have to fight for all Illinois children

Like I wrote here, it’s a dangerous game of jenga - putting everyone’s health at risk https://aepc.us/another-block-bites-the-dust/

thejillthompson.bsky.social•46 days ago

What are our state programs that counter this? How do we funnel our tax money into ways to help us in Illinois?

ncjeffrey.bsky.social•46 days ago

Hey Gov Pritzker, first, I’ve heard some words from you recently and think you’re awesome. Second, a question…how long do we wait before we get bold?

fatalerrors.bsky.social•46 days ago

Please call off Chicago PD goons so we can protest!

goodmetric.bsky.social•45 days ago

That would be mayor Johnson’s call. JB could only control the State Troopers and IL national guard

1.2+million wasn’t enough the first go around.

Dictator, Communism, that’s what it feels like

rgoldin.bsky.social•46 days ago

He's playing the long game. This is the way to dump our knowledge in favor of bringing H1B visa of his friends to garner more favor and money for himself. Just like the 5mil gold cards, its gonna line his pockets like the oligarch that he is.

jonahwhitney.bsky.social•46 days ago

The visa thing is what is most infuriating about this. It’s so obvious that the stage is being set for our jobs to be given away. As someone who’s working to break into software dev, my prospects are going to be significantly worse. That’s not to say the job market was any good to begin with.

And reproductive health care is not a mere matter of convenience; it literally saves lives

katesskatess.bsky.social•46 days ago

Trump and his band of thieves do not care. They defy judgements, they defy the law and they keep on rolling on. Americans need to come out by the millions.

T est en train de détruire votre pays... Traître et dictateur bon courage à vous

11kelleyk.bsky.social•46 days ago

Gov, can you tell your fellow Dems to start holding meetings in districts where Repubs are afraid to hold town halls. They’ll have to hear a lot of complaints, but they need to start offering an alternative to the chaos. Start from the ground up now. Don’t wait until midterms. We need strategy now.

13mae.bsky.social•45 days ago

Need you in the White House!

dbdant.bsky.social•46 days ago

What Trump is doing isn't just a coup. It's sabotage.

frankjeweetwelwie.bsky.social•46 days ago

I could not care less. Trumps latest actions like remotely switching off F-16 jamming circuits, directly costs lives of Ukranian people. You have blood on your hands too, if you let Trump continue this madness.

claudiaradelt.bsky.social•45 days ago

I guess it is called „survival of the fittest“…

jknightc.bsky.social•46 days ago

Is an American free if they can't access health care? Is an American free if they can't get meaningful work? The list can go on for awhile.

debbiet40.bsky.social•46 days ago

Yes, first they came for women! Now it’s everyone!

gardinia675.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you, Governor JB Pritzker!
Are we living in a world where The blind leading the blind?

mathewforesta.bsky.social•46 days ago

Ya man, but are you gonna do anything outside of rhetoric? If this is really an emergency the Democrats have to find a way to log jam this government now.

david-baxendale.bsky.social•46 days ago

The more I hear about project 2025 and that is happening the more it looks like they want to live in that movie "the village".

cascadianow.bsky.social•46 days ago

Hi Gov Pritzker, I live in California now, and a few of my Democratic reps are holding town halls in red districts. Any chance we could see this in Illinois? Southern and Central Illinois is hurting.

sqgs.bsky.social•46 days ago

Illinois (and other blue states) needs to hire these scientists and run a shadow CDC/NIH. We can't just let these institutions be destroyed

alallyallyson.bsky.social•46 days ago

Seems like an incredibly smart, easy decision to do this on some scale and make Illinois the premier destination for scientists, researchers, medical professionals…anyway, going into severe weather season, we should at *least* be hyper-funding and running a shadow NOAA/NWS service

constance-ramirez.bsky.social•45 days ago

So how are you helping us? Telling us about all the terrible things he is doing is not enough. Change doesn't happen without action.

2heartswellness.bsky.social•46 days ago

It will, and I thank you for your outspoken determination to defend us, @jbpritzker.bsky.social!

Cutting back Healthcare is his version of genocide. He will have his people dispute causes of death like he did during Covid.

millicent8.bsky.social•46 days ago

People will die. The current president does not care about whether you die or not!

vglntgrandma.bsky.social•46 days ago

We trust that governors like you will do everything possible to protect our rights in your state.

The federal government program that provides free at-home Covid-19 tests says it is “not currently accepting orders,” according to the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response website. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/10/health/free-covid-tests-federal-government-website

jenstone.bsky.social•46 days ago

You’re entirely correct, but this is what the MAGA cult ^wants^. Because mostly it’s people of color dying. And that is their goal. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Let’s call it what it is.

PH funding = Federal grants.
PH isn't just vaccines--it's WIC and SNAP, and community health classes. They put up a shelter after a tornado. They work with hospitals to drill emergency responses.
PH treats community TB. PH screens, dxs and treats STIs. They support new moms.
Protect Public Health

Don’t forget food recalls! Just as important as regulations decrease.

We were put into a Constitutional Crisis 1/6/20 when T had Barr wrote an OLC Memo derailing the human right of equal protection of law for 170 million women & Democrats didn't say a word -
Biden had 4 years to publish an updated Constitution with the Equal Rights Amendment
You made this bed-

jasonegenberg.bsky.social•46 days ago

MAGA isn’t just a movement, it’s a personality. Trump’s grip isn’t about politics; it’s about identity. So, how is the spell broken? How do we pull people back without pushing them further in? The answer isn’t what you think. Read this before it’s too late.

You say that as if the Felon in the WH gives a damn about American lives. He proved to US in 2020 that he doesn’t.

You democrats need to form a revolution before AgolfShitler destroys USA forever…

mme97.bsky.social•45 days ago

I hope that since I live in Illinois and I voted for you, JB, that you have a plan to protect us. This baby will be here soon, and I have to have c sec. I can't afford that if they take my insurance. I also hope that vaccines will be available for my baby.

If you don’t care about sick people, Medical advances and drug development will happen elsewhere. Lost opportunity for the U.S.

We know it’s bad, getting worse. What will you do, Governor?
