Well, I have a solution.
Just vote.
As in, you are still on a list of people who havenβt voted.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document whatβs happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICEβs recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'" Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."
βFuck them kids.β
Thatβs literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
Today, I'm signing legislationΒ to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter.
It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote.
And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.
