You believe surveys over peoples lived experience?
Lived experience is so important we asked thousands of people about that experience! In a way that mathematically ensured a broad and diverse range of experiences! Asking about peoples' lived experience along dozens of different dimensions!

“AI is going to transform our lives for the better…which is why I’m demanding a full moratorium.” 🤦🏽♂️
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Congratulations to our friends in Illinois for passing major parking reforms!
It’s official! Today, Gov. Pritzker signed the NITA Act, which funds Illinois transit and provides Chicagoland with a central agency to plan, fund, and deliver a world-class transit system. The bill also removes mandatory parking minimums within a half-mile of major transit hubs!

I’m proud of my party for (a) opening the decision to all the voters in the district rather than just party delegates; (b) using Approval Voting to allow voters to express their real support of candidates; and (c) being transparent and accountable throughout the process.
