I am relieved that Julianna Stratton won the primary (or more specifically, I am relieved that Krishnamoorthy did not win it). Unrelated to the Senate primary, I also feel like I should write a book about how easy it is not to (try to) fuck your students. It seems like a lot of people could stand to hear about my remarkable system.

When you are in a safe blue district like #IL09 is, winning the Democratic primary is practically the same thing as winning the general election.

Neighbor and friend of mine, who is of #Palestinian descent, and I were seriously nearly in tears of joy to see Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social, who is also of Palestinian descent, at the top of this chart. This is historical.

There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic for Kat, but it will be close. If you're in IL09, vote or same day register and vote. Your vote is NEEDED. Seriously Kat could lose by one vote, don't let it be yours.

New IL09 poll from M3 Strategies, among voters who already cast ballots by mail or early in person:

Kat Abughazaleh 29.5%
Daniel Biss 26.2%
Laura Fine 19.7%
Phil Andrew 7.9%
Mike Simmons 6.6%
Bushra Amiwala 5.1%
