No need to respond to this message. I’ve been off social media and logged out of Bluesky for like the past 3 months but logged back in to say thank you. As a young woman seeking work in the realm of politics men in power have always scared me. And you speaking out continues to empower us all. 💕

A group of people dressed up as Santa are holding protest signs and blocking traffic on Michigan Avenue. Police are present and news cameras are filming. This is a screenshot from Jackson Potter on Facebook.
It appears there is a group of Santas doing civil disobedience in downtown Chicago while demanding "a city budget for the money not the few." The Santas want billionaires to get taxed. So say we all.

With so many nonprofits making a year-end push for donations, it helps to do some research before deciding where to give.
@propublica.org's Nonprofit Explorer tool has details on millions of orgs (including ProPublica) with helpful info like executive compensation, revenue, and expenses.

Shoutout to #pbskids for doing a better job addressing racist indigenous mascots in sports and replacing them than #universityofillinois
Thank you for updating me! I lived in Urbana & Champaign during college but that was 2021 and after so I don’t know much of what it was like before
Montgomery County first made its “Ride On” buses free to all riders under 18 in 2019. Then on June 29, 2025, it made all of its buses fare-free for all passengers. The system has a fleet of nearly 400 buses, 80 routes, and provided 19.2 million rides in the 2025 fiscal year.
Have you been to Urbana? Tbh this doesn’t suprise me although my experience of Urbana is only from that past 5 ish years but it’s essentially where all the most progressive students and faculty at UIUC live
