After the village of Grayslake IL canceled a planned meeting for public comments, the community organized an Alternative Town Hall. Speakers voiced their opposition to the T5 hyper-scale data center being built in town before marching down main street.
Thanks so much to u/EvanStonePhotography for initially posting about this yesterday! I went back to my footage of that incident and was able to see from a different angle as this guy points a gun at protesters, press, and police outside his vehicle as he tries to flee.

On Monday, August 10th 2026, the Love family, friends, and concerned community members will be assembling at Mundelein Village Hall to voice our contempt for the killing of Mary Alice Love. We are demanding accountability and transparency from the Village of Mundelein and the Mundelein Police Department in regards to Mary Alice's murder at the hands of Mundelein police. The mayor of Mundelein and the village boards' silence regarding this matter has been deafening.

Data centers are a monumental strain on our communities already limited resources. These power hungry constructs consume massive amounts of electricity, and require huge amounts of water to cool their screaming processors. They pollute our air with fumes and noise from dirty, often unregulated generators.
This is no NIMBY (not in my back yard) situation, these projects extract resources from our communities and funnel them upward to greedy technocrats and their investors.
If you are at all concerned about the multiple data center plans being discussed in the Chicago area, come make your voice heard in Grayslake.
Time: 1pm on Saturday, June 13th 2026

Hey all! I live in the Chicago area and recently picked up my guitar again. Thought I'd share a little project I started. I figure a group of local musicians like yourselves might be able to offer some constructive criticism. If you have any recommendations on recording technique, future songs, basically anything other than "stop singing", I'd love to hear it!
I'm also looking for folks to jam with. I played guitar in a punk/ska band back in the early 2000's, but I dabble in bass and drums as well. Let me know!
Turning Point USA's "Turning Point Education" will be hosting its Educators' Summit at the Marriot Resort in Lincolnshire IL 6/16/26 - 6/19/26. Speakers include Erika Kirk, Riley Gaines and other hate spewing individuals.
They are not talking about education, they are talking about indoctrination.
If you are sick and tired of the way things are, but feel like you don't know what to do about it... come show them that Chicago does not agree with their twisted rhetoric.

Hi All!
Has anyone else heard of this legislation being proposed in Illinois? (HB5784) It sounds like if its passed, it would label any product with more than .4 milligrams of THC per container a cannabis product, regardless of where that THC is derived from. That means all the hemp-derived THC drinks you can find at gas stations, grocery stores, and liquor stores will become "cannabis" in Illinois, and will no longer be able to be sold anywhere other than a licensed cannabis dispensary.
Is this true? Does anyone have any insight they can share? Thanks!
Progressive Morgan Coghill takes a stand against the proposed T5 data center in Grayslake Illinois. My favorite part is when he compares the board members to 6th graders!
