Indiana Republicans … INDIANA REPUBLICANS!! … rejected a redistricting map that would have carved up the Gary and Indianapolis regions and guaranteed them 100% of Indiana’s congressional seats.

“The GOP-controlled state Senate on Thursday voted down 31 to 19 the map that would have gerrymandered two more safe red seats, imperiling the party’s chances at holding control of Congress next November.”

Excerpt from her article in The Atlantic:

Marco Rubio here, with an important announcement: No more Calibri in official State Department communications! Get out of here with your ungarnished lines and provocatively naked terminals! The Biden administration may have shot the serif*, switching from Times New Roman on the grounds that serif-less fonts such as Calibri are more accessible to readers with disabilities. That’s all over now.

* Emphasis mine. What a glorious pun.

Are you looking for ways to help your local community members in need? The Food Pantry relies on community contributions to stock our shelves. Support from our community is critical now. No tax dollars are used to purchase food items. Any donation (big or small) is always appreciated!

Anticipated cuts to SNAP benefits could have a significant impact on families across Illinois, exacerbating food insecurity during a time when many are already struggling with rising costs. Loss of these benefits means many Lisle Township residents risk losing access to basic nutrition. Together, we can fight hunger!

We are always accepting donations of the following unexpired and unopened items: Applesauce, Canned or Fresh Meats, Canned or Fresh Vegetables/Fruits, Cooking Oils/Butter, Crackers, Dried Herbs and Spices, Instant Potatoes, Nuts, Pasta and Sauces, Rice, Soups, Formula, Personal Hygiene Items, Toilet Paper, Laundry Detergent, and Baby and Adult Diapers.

Cash and check donations are also accepted for bulk food purchases. Checks for monetary donations can be made out to “Lisle Township Foundation.” All donations can be dropped off at the Lisle Township Supervisor’s Office located at 4711 Indiana Avenue during regular hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Please check in with the receptionist when dropping off so your items can be promptly added to the Food Pantry inventory for distribution. If you have any questions, please call our office at (630) 968-2087.

Whistles are by far the most effective tactic for protecting people from brutal ICE raids. I have been having whistles 3-D printed for this purpose and bundling them with instruction cards. They are VERY LOUD when blown with only modest effort. Most have been printed with recycled fiber.

So far, I have handed out over 60 Whistles with cards. They’ll be available at most LTDO events; please PM me on Facebook if you’d like to pick up whistles from my porch.

Report any sightings at icirr.org/fsn or call 855-435-7693.
