The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Your electric bill is going up—45% since last summer. While ComEd profits and data centers are straining our grid, state legislators need to do more. I’m ready to fight for clean, affordable energy and for the people here in our district.

💔 Our hearts are with Kyiv and every Ukrainian city under fire. On July 31, russia launched a horrific missile and drone attack on Kyiv, killing at least 31 people and injuring 159, including children. It was one of the deadliest assaults on Ukraine’s capital since the full-scale invasion’s start.

Three years ago, Roe v. Wade fell. As a pro-choice organizer, I saw it coming—and got to work.
We organized across Illinois and passed the Reproductive Health Act to codify Roe.
Now we must expand access statewide, protect trans rights, and take on insurance companies.

Good morning! Today is a good day to pass Green Social Housing out of joint Finance and Housing committee. Counting on at least 21 votes. Housing is a basic human need, not just a thing bought and sold for profit. Send all the vibes to Chicago City Council! 🙌
Tomorrow, a new tool to create mixed income affordable housing called “green social housing” is going before Council. It’s not going too far, I think, to say this is one of the most consequential things Council could do to support affordable housing—all over the city.
