Trying for each day to do a tiny bit of these five things:
1. Spanish
2. Writing (no matter what kind)
3. Guitar (even 15 minutes of changing chords)
4. Drawing (even if only some doodling)
5. Reading (even if only 10 minutes)

WATTERS & EL-SAYED.
Watters: Do you think men should play women's sports?
El-Sayed: I'm running for U.S. Senate. It's insane. I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports. It's silly. People can't take you seriously.

One year ago, Donald Trump began his targeted campaign of abuse and terror in Illinois as Operation Midway Blitz.
I pledged then to Illinoisans that we would not look away, we would not stay silent, and we would fight this with everything we had.
That continues today.

Nobody fucking believes Zionists when they say criticism of Israel or opposition to it is antisemitic anymore. They wore that one out. We all can see that massacring every Palestinian in sight & expanding genocide regionally has nothing to do with Judaism. Including many anti Zionist Jews worldwide.

A threat turned into a violent reality days later when Donald Trump suggested bringing the military into our city streets.
Until there is accountability and justice, we cannot stay quiet.
It will take courage and conviction from all of us to see it delivered for Illinoisans.

Denmark, particularly in Copenhagen, has installed floating platforms/islands planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in its harbors and canals. These create safe urban habitats and sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life.
