Holding @govpritzker.illinois.gov and the Illinois legislature accountable to the people. Tax the rich. Fund human services. Take care of people in the midst of fascism if you truly want to fight Trump. You can't say you're fighting the Nazis while acting like them.

This is a fall risk for me & other disabled folks. This is a failure of my landlord to make the sidewalk safe, yes, but also this is the result of @mayorofchicago.bsky.social blocking the Plow the Sidewalks program. The city should be solving this collective action problem. That's government's job.
Here's a sadly typical image that shows just how people don't give a shit about accessibility and how enforcement is a joke. Great job, Amtrak.
This little goblin princess is 5 years old today! My sweet baby girl 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm sick to death of these Dems who are all words, no action, like @donnaforcongress.bsky.social, who can't even articulate the OVERWHELMING call to Abolish ICE. Thank goodness we have @robertpeters.bsky.social in IL-02. Robert's been out there actually showing up for the people. Always has been.
Nothing quite like coming home from a trip to a pupper that loves you. 🥰🥰🥰
Coco is slightly less worried about getting consent on such things, as you can see. 🤣🐕🥰
North Side People's Budget Town Hall. The mayor is committing to taxing the rich and corporations to fight back against Trump and his theft of healthcare and food off our tables to make billionaires richer. Millionaires and billionaires will pay their fair share.
If you can support today, the disability community of Chicago will be rallying this morning at the RTA Board meeting to defend the Rideshare Access Program and Taxi Access Program from changes that will take away our independence. Disabled people, seniors, & veterans must have access to community.
@gailsimone.bsky.social Picked this up at the art show today, and figured it would delight you. 💜
The administration and the right in general understand what Malcolm told us better than we on the left do all too often.
For those of you who consider genderqueer to be under the trans umbrella, have some visibility! For those that don’t, fuck off! Kisses!! 🥰💜✊️💃🖕🥰
Do not let looks deceive you. Coco is not a dog. She is a goblin princess. 💜🐕💜
So coffee is woke now, I guess. This should go over splendidly.

At the People's Inauguration for @gracielaforsenate.bsky.social as State Senator. Absolutely needed this moment of joy in the course of this week. Mazel tov, Senator!
There is a genuine fear, rightly so, if tax benefits of charity were reduced or taken away that charitable giving would evaporate. We continue to enable the outsourcing of policy decisions to the rich rather than tax them & make those decisions democratically and deliberatively. That needs to stop.
Happy holidays whatever you may be celebrating this season. I'm celebrating the joys of Jewish culinary tradition today with a traditional bagel and lox. Perfection.
Aforementioned Fuck Cookie. Beelzebunz Bakery. Springfield, IL. Delightful.
If you're in Springfield, IL, whether to plead for legislators to protect disabled lives or just for funzies, visit Beelzebunz Bakery. HIGHLY recommended. They have Fuck cookies. And the Sausage Roll is INCREDIBLE.
One of the most beautiful spots in Springfield to rest while walking due to my disabilities between the Capitol building and the Stratton offices. Here to urge urgent action to save disabled folks' lives under Trump. A moment of beauty is just what is needed right now.
