I'm pretty ok with living in IL these days.
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

It’s extremely maddening and dangerous that the legislative bodies think they can just bypass voters in this way. We voted no.

I think it already is.

But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made.

We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

Just a reminder that executive orders are NOT laws.

Laws are passed by Congress, or by state legislatures.

Executive orders aren't ruled either. Rules are issued by agencies after rulemaking processes, typically things like "notice and comment."

Consult a lawyer before you comply in advance.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

My husband used to teach at this high school. I am praying for all those impacted by this shooting and hoping for more policy and change instead of only thoughts and PRAYERS.

There was another school shooting at Antioch High School in Nashville. Republicans want to criminalize abortion, the women who have them, and the facilities who provide them.

But if you take a weapon in a school and use it to kill children, pro-life Republicans won't have a problem with it.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
