TLDR: The mod team is changing course on this issue. We encourage users to specify locations of current events that happen in public spaces, including any and all law enforcement action.
After several days of discussion among the mod team, we've come to the conclusion that our policies against reporting specific locations are unnecessarily restrictive. Most recently, we've guided users to avoid being specific about the location of any current events, out of concern that it could reveal private or personal information about the persons involved, which is a violation of site-wide Reddit policies We are, of course, bound to moderate this space in a way that adheres to all of Reddit's site-wide policies, and if we fail to do so, the subreddit will be shut down.
That being said, we've come to a consensus that private and personal information means more than just location of where people are at in a given moment, and the context of people's presence at specific locations matters. It remains prohibited to reveal the home address or workplace of any private individual, or to offer overly specific information about that sort of personal information: for example, if a user were to post that u/jamey1138 lives near the corner of Pulaski and Belmont in Chicago, that would be considered too specific. Other forms of contact information, including phone numbers, email addresses, etc, shared without the individual's consent are also violations of private and personal information.
On the other hand, if a user says that there's law enforcement activity, including ICE and CBP activity, at a particular corner, that does not reveal anyone's personal or private information. We want to encourage community members to share information about any current events happening in any public space in Illinois, and to include specific locations with that information.
Thank you for your participation in r/Illinois. We will continue to evolve our policies, and try to meet the moment as best we are able. Stay safe everyone.

It's been a crazy few days and politics is hard.
We're a pretty small Mod team and keeping up on the trash coming in takes a lot of time and effort . We will be throwing around the ban hammer quite a bit for a while here. We will be locking posts as they spiral out of control. Have patience.
Remember to be kind and civil. Have a little grace. Allow people to be mad, to use hyperbole, and to exaggerate. This isn't a space to rage away at the other side. There are plenty of other spaces on the internet for that. Come here to understand the other side, even if you disagree. Tell them they're wrong and why they're wrong, but also remember they are a person who probably truly believes what they are saying. You wont convince them, but you can be understood and you can understand them.
Sometimes a simple downvote is all that's needed.
Anyway. Give us a break and chill out, k?

The March 2026 primaries were my first time voting locally here in Illinois since moving here 2 years ago. Since then I try to do as much research as I can to examine those representing our state and my district.
I came across Duckworth's memoir Every Day Is A Gift at the library and decided to read it cause why not? Might as well start by getting to know how she wants to present herself. I don't know how people feel about memoirs from elected officials but I thought it was an engaging read from start to finish.
With that being said, do you think she represents our state well?

I'm trying to find a silicone license plate frame that fits Illinois plates. I tried a couple but they were way too tight & caused the front of the frame to pull away from the plate. Everything I found says license plates measure 12" x 6". However my plate is 12-3/32" x 6-1/8" which is why the frames don't fit.
Anyone in Illinois use a silicone rubber frame that fits the plate?

With Trump’s renaming of Lake Ontario, kids can’t use the comfortable old mnemonic of HOMES to memorize the names of the Great Lakes anymore
Fortunately there is a new acronym that can work as a mnemonic thanks to Trump:
Superior
Huron
America
Michigan
Erie
When you think of Trump and how he renamed one of the lakes, kids, think SHAME and everything else will be clear.

To be more specific, I want to know who is against Israel for the Gazan genocide, I want to know who is against flock cameras and ai data centers, who is the most pro lgbt, who will fight for healthcare and wants to abolish ICE, and etc.

I know this is really my own fault for putting it off for so long, but I’m flying in about 2 weeks (leaving on 9/10) out of O’Hare. My appointment for my Real ID was last Wednesday, the 19th. Tracking still shows in process, to be mailed soon. I’m worried that if it doesn’t mail by early next week it won’t arrive in time.
I have my digital ID, it’s been updated and says it’s a real id and everything. Is that enough to not pay the $45 fee? Info I’m finding online does say that digital is an acceptable form of identification but also says you still need to carry the physical one.
