Joined the People's March on Washington today in a sea of strength and hope. I hadn't felt this connected to Americans since Obama's first inauguration and my spirit was restored. Didn't see much coverage in the media, but not surprising. The People won't roll over. It's on.

Donald Trump is threatening your health and well-being to reward his fossil fuel donors.
While he sells out our nation's future, I won't stop believing in the science and fighting for what Illinoisans need — affordable energy, clean air and water, and good jobs.

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.
Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.
Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
