You know how some celebrity deaths hit harder than others? This one hits hard. 🙁 Rob Reiner was a good man. RIP.

Yes, calling your members of Congress matters. As much as it can feel like it's falling on deaf ears, they have to log every single call about an issue. They need to know what their constituents want. Time is running out! The House is voting as early as today. Phone numbers + scripts at 5calls.org

I only ever get voicemail for my reps (Florida), but I called and sent emails. Keep up the pressure! @5calls.org makes it super simple with phone numbers and scripts.

I don’t think the human body was made to deal with this much nonstop stress and existential dread. I feel like I’ve been in a constant state of overstimulation for the last decade at least.

America's public lands are perhaps the single greatest asset our country has. Protected wilderness, open space parks, BLM, Forest Service, and grazing lands are without a doubt our richest resource, and aside from generating *literally* trillions in revenue, they're also vital for our survival.

✨ Juneteenth is not just history—it’s a call to action. On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved people in the U.S.—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we honor Black resilience, resistance, and the ongoing fight for liberation. #Juneteenth #Pinks

Still valid...

The news really sucks today. Instead of boosting a harmful Supreme Court decision, here’s something better: a practical guide on how to support the LGBTQ+ youth in your life. Because they deserve our attention, our protection, and our love. 💖🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/ar...

Congrats Florida Panthers! Two years in a row!!! 🎉 #StanleyCup

History has its eyes on you.

Five years… five years since 9 minutes and 29 seconds, ending George Floyd’s life. I often wonder if this country learned anything from this violent murder… compassion became trendy for a spell… for the marginalized… #GeorgeFloyd #Justice4George

Did you ever hear my story of how I wanted a second cat but my husband didn’t so I got one that was identical to the first and it took him FOREVER to realize we did, in fact, have a second cat? #caturday

This is not just about Medicaid, it’s about how we want to function as a country. If we think life is better for all of us if we take care of our neighbors, or if we want to let corporations write the rules, cut the safety net, and call it ‘freedom.’

Happy Mother's Day! 💐

Whelp, I'm officially old... I just increased the font size on my phone. It looks gross, but WOW, that is so much better! 😭 #GenX

Congratulations, Canada!!! 🇨🇦

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the US, we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day. Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy. BUT a peaceful People’s Movement is growing. 👉 www.FiftyFifty.one

Birthday girl basking in the sun. ☀️ (11 years) Just found out today is National Cat Lady Day, too! 😁 #cats #caturday

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement. Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy. 
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable. #50501movement #HandsOff #April5

This is not a subtweet about anybody, but if you're thinking about running for office, it doesn't have to be for Congress. There are so many important local elections where your community needs you to step up.

I am absolutely in awe! Thank you, Senator Booker! #GoodTrouble

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

Saw this quote on Threads. Not sure where it originated, but I had to make a little graphic for it.

Goddamn Joe and Eva made me cry #Survivor

That was, by far, one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Definitely the most beautiful thing to happen on #Survivor 🥹

For most folks, democracy is local. So get out and run for office. The people are demanding change. Don’t just wonder when that change will happen. Be that change.

If you want to know more about me, my campaign, and what we're trying to differently (which is a lot!), you can go to katforillinois.com.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Good Trouble!

What they did to Zelensky in the Oval Office today... what an absolute disgrace! I am beyond disgusted. 🇺🇦

🚨URGENT: Special elections are coming up in Florida’s congressional districts FL-01 and FL-06. However, many Democrats got purged from voter rolls. Verify your status NOW—either online or in person. The deadline is March 3rd! Don’t let them silence you. Spread the word! 🗳️ registertovoteflorida.gov

If you've been feeling helpless about the state of our country, here's one way you can make a huge difference.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

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.
