I refer to every candidate I support by their first name, it makes readers relate to them more directly and candidates do it themselves. Leni, for example, runs as Leni. This is politics, not medicine or the legal profession. Its not disrespectful to call women by their names.

It's important to translate our rage into ACTION! Voting in Primaries is part of that. Whether its for State Senate, County Board, or at the top of the ballot for Congress and Comptroller, Primary elections in Illinois mattet more than ever. Vote progressive, vote local, and vote your whole ballot!!

#EarlyVoting starts TODAY in all 50 Wards and the suburbs, and while the world is a dumpster fire and the Federal government is the worst, we've got a chance to fight back at the polls between now and the 17th. Whether you're in the City, in the suburbs, or in our new readership hotspot in Aurora...

This Guide, we're also using this update as an opportunity to summarize key changes made since the launch last week.

Early Voting is open NOW in the Loop, and mail-in ballots should be arriving. Hit the polls, then hit the streets 🤘

The Judicial Update to #GirlIGuess is now live!! Every Judicial race on the ballot is covered in full, with, as always, a nod to the keen journalism of the crew at Injustice Watch!

You're not wrong! Like I said, currently evaluating how we're approaching Federal races.

Yeah, I know. I dual-endorse about once a Guide (1% of all races covered overall), and its only when I can't justify a single endorsement. Didn't like the morass of politics & principles that led to my non-endorsement of Mike, & the same logic didn’t apply to Bushra. Changes coming in future Guides.

Nobody has any clue why DPI is just straight-up lying on those mailers but its going to backfire really hard, I'm guessing.

One of the world's leading pinkwashing organizations, A Wider Bridge, who were behind the session that precipitated the 2016 Creating Change protests, and perpetrated the 2017 Chicago Dyke March disruption is ceasing operations at the end of 2025.

Let me be the first to say: good fucking riddance.

This year, #GirlIGuess is awarding a whopping NINE #GoldenShrug endorsements. Yes, there are that many races that we just cannot afford to sleep on.

Shrug Nation, this is the slate! Show up, show out, VOTE!

Although he is registered to vote in Will County, it is technically possible that the Pope has read #GirlIGuess because he voted in the 2018 and 2024 General Elections if the reports of his registration are accurate. This is Good For The Jews™️

Stratton is rushing (smartly) to roll out endorsements with the hopes of clearing the field. There are some folks she won't be able to scare off (Krishnamoorthi, likely Frerichs or Kelly), but being able to prevent even one challenger could have massive downballot implications. Early race to watch!

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”
