We're expanding reproductive rights. We're erasing medical debt. We're making going to college in-state easier than ever before. We’re investing in shovel-ready sites for new homes and businesses. And we're lifting the burdens Illinoisans face because it's the right thing to do.

This sort of "here is how we know" article, in which the evidence is thoroughly summarized and clearly explained and common counter-arguments are calmly debunked with evidence, is probably something we should be doing a lot more of. Some people are not persuadable. Many are. #SciComm 🧪

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Are we in a sci-fi movie? Is this the Twilight Zone? Unfortunately, it’s worse. Not only is our data at risk due to DOGE and the Administration—but Congress itself is currently trying to deregulate AI and data privacy protections across the country in the big abomination of a bill.

Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.
