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.
Hegseth looks joyous and is smiling way too much at this press conference. He’s like a middle schooler who just won a video game and is sharing what happened with his buddies.

I just saw this painting at the Art Institute of Chicago for the first time. Spot on comment on this @ilibeebythesea.bsky.social!

A wintry photo of the Chicago River surrounded by the dense downtown cityscape. There's an elevated train crossing a bridge in the foreground
A photo looking along elevated train tracks towards the distant Sears Tower under a bright blue sky
A photo of the Chicago skyline from the south taken from a park full of yellow winter grasses
Happy birthday Chicago!

This is what it looks like when a friend takes care of you.
My brain can’t compute anymore. It overheated this week. I don’t know how to take in all of the inputs right now. And I know I have to act somehow so have to reengage. But damn…..

Pizza Bianco burns a lot of wood
#Phoenix is different than I expected. I’m eating some of the best pizza I’ve ever had at Pizzeria Bianco and the landscape intertwined into the city is beautiful.

This was never about woman's sports
I was just saying the other day that we need ranked choice #voting as I try to figure out who to vote for fo Congress in #IL7 #IL-07 #IL07. There are soooo many people running for Danny Davis’ seat.
Hey, #chicago let’s get Ranked Choice Voting before we are again swamped by candidates for Mayor. Next step: tell state lawmakers to pass #illinois SB2004 and provide needed clarity for municipalities to pass laws that stick. @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/25/o...

I'm probably skipping the speech tonight, but the #SOTU in my house is that my first grader and his classmates apparently hide during recess when they hear helicopters "in case it's the ICE police."
So. The State of the Union! Whew buddy.
HOW TO NOT CONSUME REGIME PROPAGANDA (unless you're paid to!)
1. Just don't watch (always an option!)
2. Stream the People's SOTU ⬇️
3. Engage with this brilliant event ➡️ bsky.app/profile/erin...
4. Best of both worlds: #2 AND #3! (that's my plan!)
The People's State of the Union!
