·11h ago At the State of the State address in Illinois this week, Gov. J.B. Pritzker asked a very important question: What comes next? ‘After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay, lesbian, and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and the minorities — once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends— after that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face— what comes next?’

·12h ago 'Tyranny requires your fear, silence, and compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and don't let the "tragic spirit of despair" overcome us when our country needs us the most.' When hate showed up in their backyard, they stood their ground, and the cowards left. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker spoke this week at the State of the State address, sharing the story of a 1970s event when Nazis went all the way to the Supreme Court for their right to protest. When the event actually happened, only 10 showed up while thousands stood strong in resistance.

·1d ago DOGE made major cuts to the 9/11 First Responders' fund, causing backlash from both Democrats and Republicans. This impacted 20% of the World Trade Center Health Program staff. 'This staff reduction will only make it more difficult for the program to supervise its contracts and to care for its members who are comprised of the brave men and women who ran towards danger and helped in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks,' lawmakers from both sides of the aisle wrote in an open letter. In addition, a grant to the New York Fire Department for researching illnesses was deemed 'nonessential,' which representatives criticized in their letter, saying it could not be 'farther from the truth.' Dr. David J. Prezant, chief medical officer for the Fire Department, emphasized that 'the study is critical because without it, we cannot definitively prove that illnesses are World Trade Center-related.'
