I went on The Lazy & Entitled Podcast last week and the episode is titled after my mom, which is honestly the only legacy I'm trying to build.
We talked about genre confusion, making things in Chicago, and other stuff I won't spoil. It's a fun one.
It's the state leg races, the judicial races, the ones you skip because you don't recognize the names.
Don't skip them: Illinois primary is March 17.

I'm on PersonalPAC's Next Gen board because I think this stuff matters most when people actually show up for the boring races.
The top of the ticket isn't where reproductive rights get won or lost in Illinois.
If you vote in Cook County and care about reproductive rights, PersonalPAC just dropped their endorsement voter guide — enter your address and it shows you exactly who's endorsed on your ballot.

Kristi Noem just told the Senate she's "not familiar with the details" of the shooting of Marimar Martinez.
Martinez was sitting five rows behind her.
My research is on working class women and AI and the ONE consistency among all of the interviews we’ve done so far is concerns about data centers and environmental impact. We do not bring it up - they do. Every single one.

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state.
Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.
I'd like you to observe the press pantomime that this is a normal media deal in a country with functioning regulators

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
The tl,dr is that "American Future PAC", funding ads like the one above, has a non-descript web page mumbling that it's in favor of nice things, but it's actually only a front for the sports gambling industry, out to stave off any regulation of their predatory business

Please support the family of Michael Caga-anan Aguhar:
Michael died unexpectedly on Friday, February 20th, after a sudden medical emergency. Michael was the Program Director at Crossroads Fund, a beloved organizer, dear friend, and devoted partner and father.
And I thought I couldn’t love The Dispossessed any more

Meta is trying to take down @runforsomething.net candidate @miguelfor40.bsky.social - they're spending big to buy his opponent for an IL state house seat. Expect to see more of this in the future - complete with the "made by a person" disclaimer at the end. www.instagram.com/reels/DVIRnS...

A window into the utter uselessness of establishment Dems from my corner of the world...
Last fall, as masked agents kidnapped my neighbors daily, I literally never once saw my state rep. @jaimeandrade.bsky.social.
Now, he's sending unhinged mailers accusing his challenger of being pro-ICE (1/6)

Ok this dude is actually hilarious. Worth watching the whole thing.
