Edward Snowden said it the best:
“When you say ‘I don’t care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,’ that’s no different than saying
‘I don’t care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'”
“Simply because you are following the law, doesn’t mean that you’ll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life.”
Every parent of a child with special needs should be terrified right now

BITCOIN

This is the single handedly most inane thing this state government has ever done, and that is saying something. I have no idea what I’m going to do now. I am just in shock at how much this damaged my city’s credibility as a crypto hub. Illinois Governor Pritzker has signed a 0.2% tax on crypto transactions into law including transfers between personal wallets, with the Crypto Council for Innovation calling it “the most punitive digital asset tax in the country.”
The Pritzker family, like any other wealthy “philanthropists”, may gain several advantages from operating NGOs and charitable foundations. These benefits can be categorized into financial, social, and strategic advantages:
This is the same crook that removed the 5 toilets from his mansion to avoid paying $331,000 in tax liabilities, then gifted a $9M deal to the contractor that helped him do it. The only thing dumber than this tax, are the people who comply with it.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the Digital Asset Tax Act (DATA) into law on June 16, 2026, as part of the state’s $55.9 billion fiscal 2027 budget (Senate Bill 3019). This legislation makes Illinois the first U.S. state to impose a transaction-based tax on digital assets, set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
The law imposes a 0.2% privilege tax on the value of digital assets involved in business activities, including exchanges, transfers, custody, and wallet services. The tax is collected and remitted by registered digital asset brokers rather than individual users.
It applies to:
> Brokers with a physical presence in Illinois.
> Out-of-state brokers with at least $100,000 in annual receipts from Illinois customers.
The measure is projected to generate approximately $60 million annually for the state. Industry groups, including the Crypto Council for Innovation, have condemned the tax as the “most punitive” in the country, warning it could drive innovation and businesses out of the state. Violations of the registration and compliance requirements can be charged as a Class 3 felony.
THIS MAN WITH AUTISM SAVED MONEY FOR TWO YEARS SO HE COULD DONATE 160 BOXES OF CRAYONS TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
•PROJECT NIGHTFALL
A man with autism spent more than TWO YEARS saving money for one goal: Buying crayons for children he had never met.
Chris Francisco, a 32-year-old man from the Philippines, quietly set aside small amounts of money over the course of more than two years.
One peso at a time, Chris patiently saved until he had enough to buy 160 boxes of crayons for local public schools.
When he finally reached his goal, he packed the crayons into a large sack and personally delivered them to two schools, giving 80 boxes to each.
He also donated periodic tables to help high school students with their studies.
Teachers were deeply moved when they learned that every box had been paid for through years of careful saving.
Many people wait until they’re wealthy to make a difference. Chris didn’t. He simply gave what he could, little by little, until those small sacrifices became something beautiful.
When asked about the donation, Chris said: “I hope they appreciate what I’ve done.”
This man saw children he didn’t know, believed they deserved support, and spent years quietly working toward helping them. Proof that generosity isn’t measured by how much you have. It’s measured by how much of your heart you’re willing to give.
