Remember when “genocide Joe” losers snuck into historic Mother Emanuel AME Church, to scream about Gaza in Black Elders faces, while President Biden was speaking?
I think about it a LOT. Will neither forgive nor forget that disrespect to Black people, elders! and to our sacred spaces.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

In a time when governments need to learn, they continually demonstrate that they have learned exactly nothing. Government is about being the custodian of the well-being of 26 million people - this is not custodianship, it's incompetence bordering on negligence.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.
