At the #NoKings in Orland Park southwest of Chicago, an older woman in a car simply said "thank you" with tears in her eyes as they drove by

That'll keep me going for a few months

β€œHow much did you make last year?”
β€œ$37 MILLION.”
β€œHow much did you pay in taxes.”
β€œ2-3 MILLION. Don’t blame me, change the tax code.”
β€œGo @ZohranKMamdani !”
β€œIf he wins I’ll leave.β€πŸ€”

The Chicago skyline behind a high row of bushes and trees. The leaves are mostly green, although some have turned red/rust and yellow. A street lamp is among the bushes. The sky is bright blue with white wispy clouds.
