Nora Daley is an undeniable asset to the state of Illinois. Her philanthropy, leadership, and overhaul of the Illinois Arts Council have helped expand access to the arts while establishing our state as a cultural leader. wbez.org/arts/2025/11/1…

Last spring, @KatAbughazaleh launched a campaign with a simple message: Dems need to grow a spine. Now she faces up to 15 years in prison for protesting against ICE and Trump. She's not backing down, either. Takes more than spine. My latest for @GQMagazine gq.com/story/kat-abug…

“I have all the makings of a trad wife, except what comes out of my mouth and what’s going on in my brain,” @KatAbughazaleh tells @GQMagazine. “It drives them insane. They get so confused and triggered by women they’re attracted to.” tinyurl.com/mrzra3cm

She’s 26. Her primary opponent is 80. @KatAbughazaleh talks to @Elly33 for @GQMagazine about her bid for Congress: “People are begging their representatives to do something”

“The establishment Democratic opinions are calcified. And too little too late on the policy side. We need actionable changes & people who will fight for those changes. This is what makes Kat a great fighter for the moment.” —@hasanthehun on @KatAbughazaleh gq.visitlink.me/3cVbLo

I vote more rants, esp ones like this: “I have all the makings of a trad wife, except what comes out of my mouth and what’s going on in my brain. It drives [toxic men] insane. They get so confused and triggered by women they’re attracted to." Trad wife gone is my 2025 fighter.

Thank you to GQ and @Elly33 for listening to me rant about democracy, antifascism, and Elon Musk: gq.com/story/kat-abug…

At a crossroads when Chicago profiled him nine years ago, Jerryon Stevens is now in jail, awaiting trial on a murder charge. At home, his mother reckons with her son’s path — and tries to hold her fractured family together. @chicagomag chicagomag.com/chicago-magazi…

It took me a long time to write this piece. By some counts, almost a decade. Sometimes stories have to reveal themselves to you. That's what happened here. In the end, I think Chrishona's story was always where this project was meant to land. chicagomag.com/chicago-magazi… @ChicagoMag

Man, a little stunned by the words, @tnoland1! This piece was a doozy, and, in some ways, 9 years in the making. I'm glad I gave it the time it needed. Super grateful to Chrishona. And to Terry who, despite my hesitation, kept encouraging me to dig back in.
Terry Noland@tnoland1

In my 11 years at @chicagomag, this @elly33 story is one of the best we've run. It's about the ripple effects of incarceration on families but also about the resilience of the women left behind, holding things down, keeping joy alive. Please read it. l8r.it/TlgD

Casey and Jamie's story resonated with the refugee experiences I've documented. There is a growing diaspora of people fleeing their homes to protect their personal freedoms. They are indeed America's refugees. Thx to @RollingStone & @KateLStorey for helping me tell this story!
Rolling Stone@RollingStone

"Calling this a new class of refugees is not overly dramatic." Laws restricting interventions for transgender youth and limiting access to health care has driven people across the country to seek shelter in states with LGBTQ-friendly policies. 🔗 rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Jamie and Casey miss the ocean. They can still hear the sound of wind blowing through palm trees and ache for the sticky sweltering heat of long summer. Florida was their home but now they are part of a new class of American refugee. My latest for @RollingStone
Rolling Stone@RollingStone

Florida Was Their Home. Anti-Trans Laws Led Them to Flee. As red states pass laws limiting gender-affirming care and abortions, families are moving. One expert calls it “an uncountable diaspora." Read: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
