Lets clear the air here. The tollway will not text you. Log on to your ipass account. Don't click any links in any emails or text massages - just type in getipass.com. I hope you didn't just click that link I wrote out! DONT CLICK LINKS! TYPE IT IN! ..dummy..

From now on we will be removing the ipass scam posts. We get it. They're dumb. They should suffer and face consequences. Everyone, don't be stupid. Don't call them, don't click links. It's a scam.

This is an Illinois Sub-reddit, lets talk Political Posts

589 Upvotes

Hi All - your friendly Mod Team here.

We are in hard times, no doubt. There is a lot of uncertainty, chaos, and political happenings going on. Our sub-reddit has become just as chaotic and good information is getting lost in the fray.

Illinois is a political entity, so Political posts make a lot of sense. But we are also a location specific sub-reddit. Our sub is about the State of Illinois. To that end, political posts should be about Illinois. Not just affecting Illinois, but actually about Illinois. There are plenty of places on reddit to find information about Elon Musk, the OPM, and general information about tariffs. We do not need a post about every action. We do not need wild speculation posts.

A few good reminders:

  1. Posts must be about Illinois.
  2. Use the search bar before you post. See if someone else has posted your link or information already.
  3. Stop being a dickhead - we get it. We all hate Illinois Nazis - but that doesn't mean you can say or do anything you want. We need to discuss the issues, plan our response, not just call names. Stay civil or your post will be removed.

Protesters are lining both sides of the street for blocks in Geneva, Illinois. It's estimated that around 5,000 people have shown up for the 'Hands Off!' protest.

I was there, it was… insane. Surreal. It took my breath away. They had a giant tv on one of the buildings showing the chopper footage and that’s when it really hit how many people were there. Thank you to everybody who showed up today all around the country and world❤️‍🔥
