This is on you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Alienating our allies is a classic malignant narcissist tactic.

Hey hey ho ho ISP has got to go!

So he’s speaking for himself ( as usual).

Because he controls the state police.

Your state police are denying your residents their First Amendment rights and causing physical and emotional harm. This is not Trump’s doing. This is YOU! Call off your storm troopers or stop pretending you care about democracy.

This is great news! As one of the privileged few who was able to see it in Santa Barbara when it first came out, I can attest that it’s a great film, both by subject matter and by production—one that should be seen by everyone.

I’m starting to believe he’s just stupid.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 8d

This is what they want you to believe.

We have been unsuccessful at getting a woman elected president. Both times, one of the best women in America lost to the worst man.

It is, but I think destroying Israel is Netanyahu’s narcissistic response to being indicted for fraud.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 9d

No.

With all due respect, you showed weakness and this has empowered Trump to trash your state even further.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 17d

Not what we saw on the videos.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 17d

What about the State Police, then? Why are they helping ICE?

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 17d

You get treated like an idiot for leaving money on the table. At least, that’s been my experience.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 17d

Interesting. I always thought this had more to do with the capitalist doctrine that nothing is valuable unless it brings a return on investment. Heaven help you if you wish to discuss the joy of something you like doing. Your discussion shifts to why you don’t want to monetize it.

I agree (of course) but I also think that Netanyahu is deliberately trying to destroy Israel in revenge for his indictments. We see the same here. They don’t call ‘em malignant narcissists for nothing.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 19d

Netanyahu is actively working to destroy Israel in revenge for his fraud indictment.

Warren Buffet is a master of simplistic both-sides fallacies.

Nope. Threw trans kids under the bus.

The healthcare crisis was created to fund concentration camps.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 21d

White privilege. My friends and neighbors are afraid of being shipped off to a camp.

Eric Valinsky @ekvalinskyy.bsky.social · 21d

My fight is about not kidnapping people and putting them in concentration camps and not committing violence against people exercising their first amendment rights. Does that not concern you?
