One thing I absolutely love about living in the 93rd, is how I can just scoot 10 minutes out of town and see the beauty of our earth.
I also love that the heavens said that trans people belong. 🏳️⚧️💜

Today is Veterans Day. A day to honor the people who risked everything to give us the promise of Life, Liberty, and the unfettered Pursuit of Happiness. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your sacrifice. Let's now celebrate you on this Veteran's day.

Federal acts affect us here at the state level. The 93rd district has a poverty rate on average of 10%, and removing vital lifelines like the SNAP program will only increase that rate.
Government is not a corporation and should not be run as such. But the Republicans seem to think it is.

I did a little research on what countries have a lower GDP than Elon Musk's net worth after his pay increase. So here we go.
Indonesia, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium, Ireland, Argentina, Sweden, Israel, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Austria, Thailand,

Earlier this week I officially submitted my paperwork for my campaign to be the 93rd district's next state representative. This district has been my home for my entire life, and not once have I contemplated leaving it.

Out at the Tazewell County Democrats collecting goods for local food pantries, and the community turned out! With still 5 hours left of collecting, I'm so proud of our community.

Congrats to the Democrats. It seems like when you are fighting for healthcare, food, and safety, and actually stand up for those that can't speak, we win elections.
Now let's carry this through next November! And don't ever stop fighting. 💜

I have not met a single voter yet who has told me that trans people have affected their lives negatively. To most people it's a nothingburger.
There is hope for a more just world.

Today, I feel like we probably still haven't reached the bottom, but it may be in sight.
The blank, dead-eyed apathy where cis people simply didn't want to hear about what was happening to trans people feels like it's letting up.

What does democracy look like?
Not this. This is heinous.
To my fellow white trans women, especially the fortunate ones in places like Seattle and other blue cities in blue states, fight and protect those of us who are less fortunate.

Let's go transsexuals!*
*Let's just scoot past that TDOV is the same day every year. Also, I love how even the president of the United States is sexually attracted to us, as the only reason to point this out is because the only thing on his mind is what we do in bed. Girl.

Thank you for the amazing day @transupfrontil.com! Our rights are not to be trampled on, and I will fight to make sure trans and queer Illinoisans have the same rights as any other human, especially our LGBTQ+ Black and Brown residents and our trans youth.

ADHD isn't a joke or a gag. It's a legitimate disability that affects so many people around the world. As someone who struggles with ADHD, and with the healthcare system's lack of assistance with people like me, I know how disabling it can be.
