Great news! We have been officially endorsed by Advocates for Trans Equality, an organization that works hard to progress the legal and political rights of Transgender people across the US. I am incredibly blessed by their support for this campaign for ALL Illinoisans! @transequality.bsky.social

There is no better way to insulate yourself from global oil & gas price volatility than to invest in technologies that generate useful heat & power without any oil & gas input. The Trump WH attack on renewables is a direct attack on your economic security.

Datacenters Behaving Like Acoustic Weapons
Datacenters Behaving Like Acoustic Weapons YouTube video by Benn Jordan

Benn Jordan's research confirms what we know: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP8...

Data centers pollute. They put out noise, they use electricity, sometimes they consume clean water. Economists call that a "negative externality".

If they can't be good neighbors, they can't be here.

Today, we lost an amazing leader in the fight for equality. Rev. Jackson moved mountains, unwaivering, to see our great nation progress forward.

Rest In Power Rev. Jesse Jackson. May your work continue on.

"You Outlaw It": Heritage Foundation President Announces Intent To Outlaw All Trans Adult Care Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts indicated his organization's position on the PBD podcast.

This is akin to outlawing cancer care and vaccines. Every person must have equal healthcare. And I will fight for others for as long as I am alive. And unfortunately, for the soft suits in DC, I'm a Midwestern trans woman. I'm as stubborn as a newborn calf and as hardy as the corn in our ground.

The vindictiveness of President Trump knows no bounds. His cuts to Americans’ health care do not make America great. They make us weaker, poorer, and sicker.

When people are in government custody, we are responsible for their care.

30+ people have died in ICE detention since President Trump took office.

They must answer for it.

Running (for office) while trans
Running (for office) while trans Trans people have been muchΒ discussed in American politics β€” from sports to bathrooms to health care. But theirΒ representation in elected office has been minimal. We’ll talk with several Midwestern…

Had an absolutely wonderful time speaking with the folks at the 21st show, alongside three other candidates running for office here in the Midwest. Thank you to the entire staff of the show and of Illinois Public Media

And of course, make sure you support public media, like IPM, NPR, and PBS!

Confirmed ICE / HSI sighting in Creve Coeur about 1:30 pm. Peoria Rapid Response has it on their Facebook.

Posting here so that people know at least one raid has happened in Greater Peoria, and that observers are going to report on it.

Even though this is a primary for some races, this is your _only chance_ to vote for David Daye and Sarah Howard in this cycle. The school board race will not be in the November general.

Vote early, vote often!

President Trump promised his immigration enforcement would go after the β€œworst of the worst.”

But his Administration’s own data shows that is a lie.

ICE is going after innocent people, just to meet the President’s cruel enforcement quotas.

Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.

And now, he’s planning to subvert the 2026 election.

A weaponized FBI raided an election center in Georgia last month… on President Trump’s order.

Republicans’ response? To double down on his conspiracy theories and hold a series of EIGHT hearings to justify them.
