Jeff Tiedrich - three cheers for Defiant Democrats like JB Pritzker
last week, after the lowest-information voters in the universe clownfucked themselves into a second Donny Convict presidency, it was heartening to see Democratic leadership stand up to announce that ‘we won’t obey in advance.’
Governors like California’s Gavin Newsom, IIllinois’ JB Pritzker, and Massachusetts’ Maura Healey announced they would be ‘Trump-proofing’ their states, and also actively blocking any attempt by Donny’s Playskool Gestapo to use local law enforcement to round up and detain millions of immigrants.
yesterday, JB Pritzger reiterated his pledge to defy.
“we also want to make sure that there isn’t a violation of peoples’ rights with raids, for example, that are done in coordination with local law enforcement — on people who are, frankly, holding down jobs and have been in this country for many, many years. we think that’s improper, and in Illinois, that’s not something that we would condone. there’s been some talk about using other states’ National Guards, red state National Guards, to somehow come into a blue state and try to enforce these new, Stephen-Miller-inspired rules, and that’s something that we’re just not going to accept.”

(6,372 posts)All I can say is that I'm glad to be living in Chicago. Governor Pritzker is the top of the line when it comes to being an effective governor of a state, he's the best we've had in Illinois in several generations. He would be remarkable in the Presidency.
