Bloomington-Normal, IL holds a food drive while protesting Trump to help feed those in need. Proud of my community.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... Sounds like they definitely have something to hide and a little bit more of our freedom is eroding away.

This is from The no Kings protest in our town. I thought the sign summed up the ate of our country well.

www.cnbc.com/2025/10/20/t... Oh No!

Bloomington – Normal, Illinois

www.latimes.com/california/s... This isn’t necessary. Waste of taxpayer payer money. This will also interfere with No Kings protests.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article... Possibly targeted by right wing extremists unhappy with her rulings.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru... So Trump appointed judge in Oregon says Trump cannot use the Oregon National Guard in Oregon because there’s no emergency, so he just takes the California National Guard and move them there. Fascism at its highest.

www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c... Wonder what would happen if Pritzker called up the National Guard first and put them to work doing cleanup of parks and along Lake Michigan. I fear this will just increase the tension and violence if Trump send troops to Chicago.

This is from substack. Call your congressional representative and ask about these bills. This would give control of the state department to President Trump and it would allow Congress not to know what’s going on for 90 days. EEK. I don’t understand why Congress wants to give up this power.

Trump is just ordered the military into Portland and said they could use full force which means they could kill civilians. Who’s going to stand up against this?

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... This will hurt all of us but seniors the most.

From substack 🤣

choosmeinstyle.com/rawpgjjvho/ I’ve always been a huge Simon & Garfunkel fan. And the song reminds me how we have lost our ability to communicate effectively with one another. This is a great rendition done by the Royal Marines.

From Substack And I would suggest that not only will this hurt healthcare, but a lot of companies who need a lot of skilled workers like the Hyundai plant in Georgia will not be able to pay $100,000 per worker for their visas.

kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/pentagon-o... Trump said he wants to commemorate the confederacy. Lee was a traitor and he should not be respected. Shameful.

apnews.com/article/omar... Probsbly only failed because Democrats were going to censor Corey Mills, so he voted against the censure. My rep, No Good LaHood, of course voted for it.

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... So, in response they cleared the homeless out. Hope they find the perpetrators.

abcnews.go.com/US/people-hu... I wonder how much of this was due to the Fox commentator’s outrageous remarks about killing the homeless. 🙁

From Substack.

www.politico.eu/article/cove... Why isn’t this getting more media attention?

from substack. Duffy doesn’t understand Earth Science which includes understanding the Earth's interconnected systems, including the Earth, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere and their interactions with the space and integrates knowledge from geology, meteorology, oceanography, and astronomy.

How is Texas allowed to redistrict when it is against their own Constitution? statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CN/htm/...

www.politico.com/news/2025/07... You know priorities are wrong when ICE agents get student loan forgiveness but teachers don’t. 🤬

Just thought these were pretty. False parasol mushroom, I think. Toxic.

This will hurt rural and tribal communities who depend on NPR for weather alerts. Not sure what the Republicans have against programs like Nature or Nova, either. If they can destroy something good, they will.

Did anyone else notice that Trump and the administration quietly took away all assistance to Ukraine yesterday, including military aid?

How about those Chicago Cubs tonight against the Houston Astros? 12-2 in the 8th. Go Cubbies!⚾🧢

Trump says nuclear deal with Iran isn’t necessary. Probably because he knows he could never reach a deal. I am still waiting on those tariff deals. jewishinsider.com/2025/06/trum...

Now that the USA bombed Iran, not only will Iran retaliate with military force, but they will likely block the strait of Hormuz which will have further economic implications.

Further proof Trump is an idiot.

Trump continues to violate impoundment act. Congress needs to get more assertive. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Bloomington-Normal, IL. “No Kings” Protest

From Occupy Democrats. Let’s keep the “No Kings” protests totally peaceful.

Trump wants ramp up violence. Protestors need to be peaceful or he will turn our military on us.

Excellent read about an “unassuming” female museum curator who helped keep track of the art that Nazis stole from French galleries and Jewish citizens. And she helped get a lot of it back. If she can do this, then each of us can help beat back the Trump regime in some way.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXnl... Pritzker nailed it.

I think the budget bill has a lot of hidden items we won’t like at all.

Great philosophy to fight Trump’s policies.
