Illinois’ lesbian lawmaker, arch nemesis of the good, the true, & the beautiful. Beloved by IFI. Under-educated, over-loved, cat (and dog) lady. She/her. #twill

This is what MAGA believes the “GA” part of the acronym symbolizes.
It is NOT what our Nation is about.
It is NOT what Chicago is or will ever be about.
Hate has no home here, and racist, bigoted attacks like this aren’t ones we stay silent about.

🎉 The Illinois legislative session is a wrap. And we have a lot to celebrate.
Working families in Illinois have been squeezed by rising prices and corporate greed. This session, we fought back—and we won:
✅ Hidden junk fees are banned. After three years of advocacy, HB 228 passed. The price you see is the price you pay. No more hidden “convenience” or “processing” fees at checkout.
✅Illinois now has the ability to support local guaranteed income initiatives like the Newborn Equity Support Transfer (NEST), laying the foundation for future investments in economic security.
These victories were made possible by our coalition partners, advocates, parent leaders, and community members who showed up, spoke out, and refused to back down.
This is what fighting for working families looks like. And our fight continues.

Folks keep saying if we don’t welcome these energy leaches with open arms (and wallets), they’ll just go to Indiana. It’s easy to see why. While we’re struggling to ensure people kicked off food benefits can eat, not a penny for these leeches.
As we head into the last hours of session, we’re still fighting to continue the pause on tax breaks for data centers & pass the Power Act regulating them & stopping them from passing their energy costs onto consumers. This here is some grade a bs out of Indiana 👇🏼
🚨Big scandal brewing in Indiana after the State admitted it doled out a shocking $655 million 💰💰💰 in data center sales tax exemption subsidies in 2025.
It previously had claimed it had given less than $1 million in subsidies in 2025.
#NoKings was a powerful day! Our Reps. are committed to carrying that momentum forward and keeping Illinois safe from the chaos of the Trump Administration.
