Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has a plan to undermine the autism registry RFK Jr. keeps talking about.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has a plan to protect autism-related data from RFK Jr.’s absurd plans to create a disease registry tracking autistic people.

Pritzker plans to sign an executive order Wednesday that will prevent state agencies from obtaining or disclosing data that personally identifies people with autism, unless it’s required for medical care or legal matters, according to a copy of the order obtained by the Chicago-Sun Times.

    I lived most of my life in Illinois and you’re right, the property taxes suck. But keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Move to a state with low property taxes like I did, and enjoy shitty roads, crumbling infrastructure, and lack of assorted services that you now take for granted.

    I also miss having a Governor who gives a shit about people. I held my nose and voted for Pritzker when he ran against Rauner, thinking that it wouldn’t make a difference. Turned out to be the best choice I ever made. I’m really hoping he runs for President in '28.

      I just hope one day we can replace austerity with taxes on the rich. Also, I had the same thought voting for Pritzker, the first time.

      Oh, the choice is a shitty republican that sucks or a billionaire. Yippy!

      I was so glad my defeatism and low expectations turned out to be wrong.
