I just want to vent because I am very frustrated with recent news...

As a resident of Illinois who was born here, I've always thought of Illinois as an alright state to live in. I reached out to Pritzker and expressed some disappointment in there not being pushback on the federal court order given regarding student financial aid for illegal immigrants. It is totally unlawful and cruel to pass a law like that literally a week or two before this academic year starts. I am not an illegal immigrant but I have many friends and family who are and it totally pisses me off that thousands of people have to suffer over something like this. Also, the damn shady data center projects. Why?!

Financial gain at the expense of the people. It's a damn Friday...

Is there anything I can do to at least stir some reconsiderations in congress or the Illinois Gov? I want to make an impact.

The timing seems particularly cruel, whether or not that was the intention.
