@IlliniJen Yeah, our taxes are rough, but imagine the mess we’d be in if we still had Rauner, who made the Thompson/Ryan quagmire so much worse—26 months w/ no budget!
Republicans are such terrible governors; it’ll take decades or a century of Dem leaders to fix what they did to Illinois.

Congrats, Illinois, on winning the one title no state should ever want: highest combined state and local tax burden in the country.
A median household forks over $13,099 a year straight to Springfield and City Hall. That’s 16.5% of every dollar earned and $4,472 (52%) above the national average.
Yet as lawmakers scramble through budget talks, progressives demand even more tax hikes on billionaires and corporations. You revel in the spending spree while working Illinoisans get bled dry by brutal property taxes, punishing sales taxes, and every creative fee you invent.
Other states look like bargains by comparison.
Keep squeezing us dry. At this rate, you’ll have the highest taxes on an empty state.

On August 26, 2025, 19-year-old Black autistic college student Victoria Lang was locked out of her dorm in Wichita Falls, Texas and went to a downtown McDonald’s to change her clothes while she waited for housing to be sorted out. A manager called 911, claiming she’d been in the restroom too long and assuming she was homeless.
Wichita Falls police officers Daniel Wilson and Douglas Gulley responded; body cam footage shows Wilson choking, dragging, and hogtying Lang as they force her out of the restroom, into the restaurant, and into a patrol car — force the department later labeled “unnecessary and excessive”. Both officers left the Wichita Falls Police Department, with Wilson fired in November 2025 and Gulley resigning afterward.
On May 6, 2026, the city finally released five angles of body cam and cruiser video from the arrest, and days later a grand jury indicted former officer Daniel Wilson over his actions in that McDonald’s bathroom.

@Tamer_Alnoaizy Awww. Maybe her family shouldn't support hamas & she'd have water.

One of the videos that deeply affected and shocked me.
A little girl runs with her siblings behind a water truck, trying to stop it with all her strength, lifting jerrycans heavier than her own body to collect water for her family, while the truck keeps moving.
Do not stop speaking about the children of Gaza.

@Tamer_Alnoaizy @ThatTimWalker Humanity, where art thou?
Why are there still people who look yet choose not to see, who listen yet choose not to hear?
Are the souls of the rich & powerful so shrivelled that they will not act to forge peace for all & right these wrongs?
