Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

YES

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

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.

Unhinged in the best way

maybe it's a weakness in my character but I'll never be able to forgive my fellow Americans for any of this

it's just never going to happen

He heard about refugees applying for asylum and his 1990s frozen brain associated that with Silence of the Lambs having mental asylums but no one in the media has ever thought to ask him about it god I fucking hate it here.

Youth pastor voice: You know who else took on a globally important leadership role at the age of 33?

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment.

In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community.

You have a home here always.

When the President, who claims to be a Christian, deploys the National Guard to crush immigration protests by diverse people speaking many languages on the FEAST of PENTECOST, that's a special kind of sin.

Wow. Just wow.

This tacky piece of shit looks like they found a design team from 1979 and paid them in cocaine.

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

We support our international students - Opinion Last week, the Republican-majority federal government’s cruel, anti-immigrant agenda became a local issue when an unspecified number of University of Illinois international students had their visas ab...

These are extremely troubling times, and the only way we can imagine getting through it is with kindness and looking for solidarity with our neighbors and fellow community members, which includes our international students.

It's pretty wild to me that that Democratic leadership in Congress are struggling with rapid response and messaging generally, and somehow, there's J. B. Pritzker, a center-left Democrat from the Midwest, making it look easy and winning over folks across the ideological spectrum.

A low barrier homeless shelter is still a good thing - Opinion The push to open a new low-barrier shelter began in 2022, when the City of Champaign Township board and Champaign City Council unanimously approved using about $4 million of funding from the American ...

Voting yes for this referendum is a small step we can take towards making a difference right here in Champaign-Urbana.

I’m so grateful to live in Illinois. He’s been an amazing governor.

Thank you!

That’s my governor @govpritzker.illinois.gov leading the way 💪🏼

Anti-trans Legislation: Illinois In 2025, states around the country are voting on bills that would block trans people from receiving basic healthcare, education, legal recognition, and the right to publicly exist. Learn more and spea...

Illinois friends, being in a blue state does not mean we don’t have anti-trans legislation being introduced here. Call your reps and let them know these measures are trash. translegislation.com/bills/2025/IL

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

Executive orders and our community: Supporting the rights of immigrants - Opinion Well, it’s been a week, hasn’t it? We are sure we are not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the firehose of disastrous information we’ve been hit with in just these first several days of the ...

Our work at Smile Politely is a testament to how deeply we care about our community. As it turns out, that’s where all of us as community members can have the biggest impact.

Shop at COSTCO, folks. The only company that didn't cave and furthermore doubled down on DEI efforts and said it has helped their revenue, their products, their employees, and their customers.
