Decatur is a city full of heart, resilience, and community spirit but too many still struggle. A mutual aid hub isn’t charity—it’s neighbors helping neighbors bc systems fail but community doesn’t.

Philanthropy is broke, too.

Look at #DecaturIL and @howardbuffet.bsky.social

Sorry, sir- but I believe the people should decide where to put resources for public good.

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.

For $250. For her classroom…

Today's #HatoftheDay, with HATS the Lego Cat, is from the Decatur Bean Ballers of the Prospect League.

I believe the Bean Ballers logo is the only one in baseball that includes soybeans!

Breaking: GOP finds $ for mega-yachts but not babies' healthcare! Medicaid covers 41% of US births - but sure, cut that first.
