IL Gov JB Pritzker to a Trump federal govt: "You come for my people, you come through me,"

[Dennis Donovan]

Democratic Coalition
This is awesome - we want to see more governors standing up to Trump's impending attacks on their residents 👇

“To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom, and opportunity, and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior. You come for my people, you come through me,” Pritzker said.

[3catwoman3]

5. JB is an excellent. Governor.

Although we live in the one Chicago/Cook County collar county that is red, I’m glad I live in Illinois.

6. Blue states are sticking together!........................

sending law enforcement, national guards, military will be televised, and the majority of American will see the brutality, although shithole's cult will enjoy it.

7. Honoring his oath of office, "defending against all enemies foreign and domestic".

[roamer65]

8. Governor Whitmer of MI will have his back as well.

And so will blue Michiganders.

We are of the same cloth.

9. Stephen Miller is on record saying that the plan is to use National Guardsmen from Red states to invade Blue states

to carry out deportation orders.

[roamer65]

10. Fuck Miller.

That’s not gonna happen.

Enuff said.

[Yavin4]

11. I'd rather not.

But I get your point.

[RJ_MacReady]

16. Then

Blue states must deploy their national guards to protect their state.

[Magoo48]

19. Nope, not gonna work in California.

Anyway, in the California Republic, by a large margin, we don’t like fucking Nazis.

[Yavin4]

21. He's going to send TX National Guardsmen into CA

What will CA do then?

12. I've felt for some time that we're beginning to see the early signs...

...of a kind of "soft secession" by several states. It started with things like sanctuary cities, ignoring FDA scheduling of cannabis, the devolution of abortion law to the states, and other similar movements over the last 20 years or so. And the ties that bind were further stressed by the Trump regime's disastrous mismanagement of Covid. Of course, the courts weighed in long ago on the question of "hard" secession (not possible; the Union is a one-way street), but I really wonder what the country is going to look like in another 20 years. The 2024 election will definitely be seen as a major inflection point.

13. The Union isn't a one-way street.

To victors always belong the spoils.

The South couldn’t back it with military victory, that’s why they are still in the Union.

We seceded from the British Empire and backed it with military force. Therefore we became an independent nation.

14. Well, here I'm talking about *peaceful* or at least *relatively peaceful* secession.

IANAL, but I know that the lawyers and scholars say it's a one-way street. States can't vote to leave or litigate their way out of the Union.

As for violent secession, we fought a war that resulted in more than 600,000 deaths as a direct result of the conflict, with secondary casualties adding to a grand total of more than 1,000,000 deaths. The level of savagery in that war even today is totally incomprehensible (see the "Battle of the Bloody Angle", for just one example). I can't imagine what Civil War 2.0, fought with modern weapons, would even look like.

[roamer65]

15. I see a stronger devolution of powers coming.

The blue states are gonna take a long test drive of the 10th Amendment.

17. I love Gov Pritzker's Attitude! May all the Dem Govs
