It's 82 degrees right now in central Illinois. With high winds (>45 mph).
Expecting severe weather later today...rain, wind, hail, possible tornado.
Stay safe out there, everyone!
(And, if severe weather's headed your way, get out your weather radio, locate your flashlights, and charge your devices. Prepare your safe space(s), too.)
>> When ever will these States abandon the USA? Or are they supporting #Trump and #Musk in their madness?
#Illinois is #Democratic, and #Chicago is solidly Democratic.
Which is why it is so puzzling to see taxpayer-funded #ChicagoPolice performing the duty that #Tesla should have hired private security guards for.
There are many high-end stores — #Dior, #Cartier, and #Bloomingdales around the corner. All pay for their own private security service.

I heard... SILENCE.
This past week here in #AuroraIllinois , the weather has been pleasant & warmer. In the past, this kind of weather would be full of life, coming awake.
I know most of the #songbirds have migrated and haven't returned yet, so I don't expect to hear them. But only last week, I was regularly seeing a LOT of #birds , and hearing lots of chirping. The bird food & bread scraps I often put out for them in the morning were always eaten before lunch.
In past years, the sky would have had lots of birds flying overhead in this first warmth. I would hear lots of chirping.
This whole day, I heard only SILENCE.
4 of the past 5 days, bird food was left uneaten. Bread scraps were only eaten by the nighttime animals.
Today, I only saw one lonely #sparrow, behaving abnormally by hiding in my flower pot, right next to my door-- and near me. None of his friends ever appeared.
I hope I'm mistaken. I hope this is not due to #BirdFlu .
The attack on #WadeeAlfayoumi, a kindergartner who loved Legos & soccer [
], drew international attention & left many members of IL’s large Palestinian & Muslim communities frightened & angry. Some leaders in those communities connected the attack to rhetoric used by some [#FarRight] American politicians & media personalities that they said dehumanized #Palestinians.
Well done #Illinois.
A jury in suburban #Chicago convicted a man on Friday on #murder & #HateCrime charges in the fatal stabbing of a 6-yr-old #Palestinian American boy who lived at his property. The killing, which took place days after #Hamas attacked #Israel in 2023, was fueled by anti-#Muslim #hate….
The defendant, Joseph M. Czuba, 73, faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced.
