For months, IFT members have been coming together and standing up to demand a state that puts working people over billionaire profits, that invests in our students, higher education, communities AND the people who work to support them.

Students don't just need a teacher, they need a team: Counselors. Paraprofessionals.  Nurses. Support staff. Custodians.  The list goes on.

Hear firsthand from AFT Local 604 members in the East Aurora council how fully funding public education would directly improve the lives of their students.

Serving ✨ full funding energy ✨ for our students. Paraprofessionals know exactly what students need to learn, grow, and feel supported. The only thing missing? Lawmakers choosing full funding over corporate giveaways.

Paraprofessionals and support staff show up every day for students. But when the school day ends, many are still figuring out how to make ends meet, leaning on their village for childcare, picking up extra work, or going without. That’s neither sustainable nor fair.

School closes. Paychecks stop. Bills don’t. PSRPs keep our schools running all year — but every summer they’re left without income and without unemployment insurance access. This week, there's still time to show up for them.

What happens outside the classroom doesn’t stay outside the classroom.

Illinois’ public universities are being slowly starved—and students are paying the price. Years of chronic underfunding have led to program cuts, fewer faculty and staff, and rising tuition and fees at our public colleges and universities.

Building repairs, upgraded school buildings, and smaller class sizes are just some of the ways Champaign students would benefit if their district was fully funded. That's what's on the table.

Every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and included at school. And equity requires investment.

Jesse Watters promoted President Donald J. Trump's false claim that '86' was a mob term for murder. Watters used the term in July 2025 to describe people getting canceled by the mainstream media. I provide receipts along with the dictionary definition of the term - 86

Because of Trump’s UNSUCCESSFUL war against Iran, that he started for NO REASON, Iran is planning on taking control of 7 under sea Internet cables that pass through the Strait of Hormuz. That’s 20% of global internet and financial data. I’m sure the tech bro crowd isn’t happy with him right now.

Spent my Tuesday evening watching Husk expose AI hallucinations on TikTok while waiting to find out if we were all about to die. This is a good one.

People hate watching government become sponsored content while families are being squeezed at the pump and DOT is quietly lowering air traffic control hiring targets. That’s the part people can’t unsee.

Ukraine is strong. Ukrainians are brave. But resilience is not infinite. In Odesa, I see businesses closing, people leaving, and growing fatigue after five years of war. Even bamboo snaps if bent too far. The world must stop confusing courage with endless capacity. #Ukraine
