Any of my Shortcut friends know if there’s a way to set an Urgent reminder in iOS 26.2 via Shortcuts? I was initially hoping the Reminders widget would let me but it doesn’t seem to, and initially looking at Shortcuts it seems to be missing there as well.

Illinois needs a progressive income tax. It should be on the ballot every year until it passes.

Almost every other funding idea they come up with is just bullshit nibbling around the edges in ways that still predominantly tax working people instead of those with real wealth.
A corporate head tax will be paid out of a personnel/staffing budget.

Which means less money for workers in Chicago compared to other places.

Corporations don’t pay the head tax.

You do.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

A Facebook group called #LincolnSquare Mamas organized a #NoKings protest for kids. They expected ~20 people, but we all wrapped around the block (see pic). Little kids with their homemade signs chanting "No ICE! Be nice!" @thatguywasfly.bsky.social & I went with our niblings & their parents.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

If it's an invasion (it is), then local law enforcement, be they state or municipal, shouldn't be working with or to run cover for the invaders, which they already have this weekend.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

If it's really an invasion (and it is) then maybe we need to do something beyond just calling it what it is. Close the borders? Deploy Illinois Guard to protect us? Some kind of economic sanctions against Texas or the US?

You said you would protect your people. It's time for action.

I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES
Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

People in the complex said they were zip tying kids and they didn't have names or anything. They took you first, then ran to see if you had any outstanding warrants - not just immigration. And the FBI helped them.
NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.
