Today is a big win for Illinois and American democracy.

Texas has bused and flew over 30,000 migrants to the Chicago area. Our community welcomed these refugees.
Now, this same Governor is sending the Texas National Guard into our community to round up immigrants. If this isn't the 2025 version of a civil war, please explain to me what this is.

Sometimes, the Moon passes directly in front of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster in a celestial event called an occultation! This composite image from Spain captures the Moon's visit. These monthly occultations last until 2029, then not again until 2042!

There we go! These are the kind of actions we're looking for from our party.
The grassroots has been holding it down with acts of resistance and good trouble. It's good to see an elected official finally doing something.

How people get drawn into authoritarian movements:
"Companies ....receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts."
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
