It's also nonsense. Signal is incredibly secure, but like everything, if you invite a fucking journalist into your group, that's not gonna help.

Unless you work for the bloody CIA, Signal is the absolute best app to be using. Especially for everyday meetups, but you should verify all contacts.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

In 2023, I proposed the Illinois Grocery Initiative to lower food prices and provide options in food deserts across the state. www.ksdk.com/article/news...
Pritzker breaks ground on state-backed grocery in Venice, calling it a 'revival' for forgotten towns
The Illinois governor says the project proves government can help the free market work where private investors walked away.

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

If you think that Signal is an op and totally backdoored, my recommendation is that you should plan all of your crimes over Telegram group chat.

Shout out to all the small town protesters out there.

There is no anonymity in a tiny town. No strength in numbers or hiding in a crowd. When you stand up for democracy in a small town, EVERYONE knows. Y'all are brave as hell. #NoKings

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
