I will not be watching the State of the Union tomorrow evening. Nothing enrages Trump more than us tuning him out. Instead, I will be viewing and contributing to the State of the People, a 24-hour livestream of counter-programming beginning this evening. Register at stateofthepeople.media.

Nearly 1 in 4 Illinoisans are enrolled in Medicaid. They're working moms and dads, seniors, people with disabilities — they're our friends and neighbors. We need to stand up, speak out, and show up so Donald Trump prioritizes your health care over tax cuts for his friends.

The White House boasted the Declaration of Independence was written in English to justify repealing a 2000 federal language access executive order. Fact: The Declaration was translated into German and published in the colonies even before many of the original signers added their signatures to it.

Easy to do. If you have a second, comment. If you have a few minutes, contact your reps. If you have a few hours, join a protest. Activism at any level helps.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Democrats Brittany Pettersen & @kevinmullin.bsky.social came back to the House floor to fight for working families. Rep. Pettersen, who was denied by GOP leadership the ability to vote remotely after giving birth to her son, flew across the country to vote no on the disastrous budget proposal.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

This is brilliant. Let’s hope they do it again and again until their rep shows up. Would be worth stealing this idea!

Want to help? Here are a few ideas in a 🧵: Contact your reps. State reps and local. Share your concerns. Use the forms on their website or phone numbers. Amplify content that fuels progress. We are very good at identifying problems. But people are looking for steps they can take.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Last article was hard to read. The journalist, bless their heart, fell for the “cost cutting measures” story. Folks, a $20K per year Rec Tech cleaning latrines is not putting our nation in the poorhouse. It’s a scapegoat for corporations like Musk’s Tesla not paying their fair share in taxes 😤

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.
