"I’ve been following Kat Abughazaleh’s career for years, starting with her work
as a researcher and journalist for
Media Matters. Her insights on politics
and the American right, and her ability to trigger the worst people on the
internet, made Abughazaleh a prominent and essential guide through the often
frightening and always too online world of post-Trump America.
Now, she’s running for Congress in Illinois 9th district with a progressive,
community oriented campaign based in direct mutual aide within her district.
The other day she posted on Bluesky that if she wins her race, she wants to be
sworn in on a copy of Octavia Butler’s
Parable of the Sower:
For the record, I will be swearing in on Octavia Butler’s Parable of the
Sower after I’m elected.
Abughazaleh, I found out, is a big reader and a huge fan of sci-fi."
