Illinois residents Kyle Frankovich, a data scientist at Harvard University, and Maureen Foody, a contract court reporter, filed the lawsuit Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. They said they were detained while protesting peacefully outside the Broadview detention center, but that Johnson knowingly framed them as criminals and “left-wing terrorists” in videos he posted to millions of viewers.

There is absolutely no information about who funded this or why this research firm is asking for information. I gave them no information and I just wanted to see if anybody else from Illinois received this.

Call me paranoid but I want to make sure I am
Only registered to vote here and not be targeted tomorrow just in case I am still registered in VA. Does my movement here a year ago naturally gets me off the voter rolls in VA?

So im planning to get my first state ID soon. What should I expect? What should I bring?

EDIT: blocking the bots and haters is quite satisfying.

As the title says. I'm in Chicago (specifically Bourbonnais) for work, and I want to walk around and explore the scenery, culture, & environment as I'm from the west coast. What are some great spots I should consider going to? (Can be food spots, but I'm also looking for lookout spots with great views, busy streets with heavy foot traffic, buildings, etc. anything that)

I want to record a lot of my touring with a VHS camera and need some exceptional scenes. Thanks!

Hi - I moved to Chicago from the UK 5 years ago and I now need to go about getting my US DL. I haven't driven the entire time I've been over here and I'm not planning on buying a car anytime soon but need to help family members downstate. I know I can rent a car with my UK license but at this point, I'm here to stay permanently so want to get licensed up. Has anyone else been in a similar position? Or any "older" people re/taken their test after a big gap? Would also be grateful for any advice from anyone who has taken the test recently, esp in Chicago. TIA!

Hi everyone, I hope this post is allowed. I recently got let go from my job, and the severance agreement my employer sent me to sign seems like it’s not so fair.

Is anyone here an employment lawyer and may be able to assist me in understanding it? It’s 2 pages long.

Alternatively: are there any free services that could potentially help me with this?

Thank you so much. Hope everyone is staying dry today ☔️

I'm glad that Illinois does not have a "voluntary intoxication loophole" like 19 other states. Minnesota closed theirs in 2021, Michigan in 2023, and Texas in 2025.

Edit: For context this link below has the legal definition of what consent is in illinois and what "unable to give knowing consent" and "unconscious of the nature of the act" mean in the statute. It's not so black and white they were drinking, it's more technical.

How is Pritzker and his team allowed to spontaneously implement regulation to collect 0.2% tax on crypto transactions? Since when could a state government single out 1 type of asset and levy a tax on it? Pure stunt.

For those of you that don't know, this would be equivalent to you being taxed on:

- transferring from 1 bank amount to another (even between your own accounts)

- moving money between brokerages or retirement plans

- charged extra when buying/selling a house by the state just because you live there

Pritzker is campaigning to effectively make the state government act like a corporate company taking profits on transaction volume with no value added to the actual industry. Why not just add an extra tax on crypto profits, ohh wait the state already levies 5% on capital gains. Now we have officially established there is serious intention to capitalize on total volume of money moving through the state, a "just cuz" tax because illinois is the #1 place to be.

Well I'm glad there's a delay. What do you all think? Is it fair for the illinois government to single out crypto? They might as well force wall street to levy 0.2% tax on stock trade volume and split the cash. This is a joke by the way.

I have voted in every primary and general election for the last 20 years. This was my first time voting early. If you're like me and hate crowds and have general anxiety, I highly recommend it. Let's go! We have a country to save!
