I have also been turned down for every WFH job I’ve applied for, once again, severely limiting my earning abilities. My only source of income is by selling my art, crafted items and music. Please consider supporting my small business or at least sharing it, even if you can’t buy something! Thanks!

Judge Sara Ellis' opinion in IL v. Trump is an absolute banger:

www.courtlistener.com/docket/71559...

The Court therefore must make a credibility assessment as to which version of the facts
should be believed. While the Court does not doubt that there have been acts of vandalism, civil
disobedience, and even assaults on federal agents, the Court cannot conclude that Defendants’
declarations are reliable. Two of Defendants’ declarations refer to arrests made on September 27,
2025 of individuals who were carrying weapons and assaulting federal agents. See Doc. 62-2 at
19; Doc. 62-4 at 5. But neither declaration discloses that federal grand juries have refused to
return an indictment against at least three of those individuals, which equates to a finding of a
lack of probable cause that any crime occurred. See United States v. Ray Collins and Jocelyne
Robledo, 25-cr-608, Doc. 26 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 7, 2025); United States v. Paul Ivery, 25-cr-609
(N.D. Ill.). In addition to demonstrating a potential lack of candor by these affiants, it also calls
into question their ability to accurately assess the facts. Similar declarations were provided by
these same individuals in Chicago Headline Club et. al. v. Noem, 25-cv-12173, Doc. 35-1, Doc.
35-9 (N.D. Ill.), a case which challenged the Constitutionality of ICE’s response to protestors at
the Broadview ICE Processing Center. In issuing its TRO against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem,
the court in that case found that the plaintiffs would likely be able to show that ICE’s actions
have violated protestors’ First Amendment right to be free from retaliation while engaged in
newsgathering, religious exercise, and protest, and Fourth Amendment rights to be free from
excessive force. Id. at Doc. 43. Although this Court was not asked to make any such finding, it
does note a troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of
appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning,

Sorry for being so vulnerable but until you are disabled and are living so far from your people without any real support system you will never know how terrifying it is whenever there is any kind of major event or upheaval where you are living. My go bag is getting heavier and heavier every day.

My life as a mixed race child was fraught with many traumas, having had a white father who hated Mexicans and Natives and took it out on me.💔😢 I speak out for that child who couldn’t, and for my beautiful grandma, who no longer can. And for my lovely mamá, who I inherited my strong spirit from. ❤️

A photo of me as a child, with long ponytails. My natural hair is black with auburn highlights and my skin was light brown in the winter, golden brown in the summer, and my eyes are hazel brown. I’m wearing a light blue, sleeveless dress with white tights. I’m on a plastic slide indoors with bookshelves behind me. I’m a multiracial person of Mexican American and Indigenous descent.

Photo of my maternal grandmother, as a teenager in the 1940’s. Her hair and outfit are very emblematic of the time period. She’s wearing a white shirt and black scarf. She was a woman of Mexican American and Indigenous descent with light to medium brown skin, brown eyes and light black hair.

Photo of me with my mom in 2024. My hair was dyed red in this photo and it’s naturally wavy. I am a multiracial person of Mexican American and Indigenous descent, have beige skin tones and hazel golden brown eyes. I’m wearing a black top and sweater. My mom is wearing a brown top, gold hoop earrings, glasses and has brown eyes, light black hair and brown skin tones. She is a Mexican American woman of Indigenous descent.
