Pinned tweet from old Twitter acct: Trump infected people long before he got COVID. He infected them with viciousness, with hatred, gave them the disease of callousness and cruelty, thinking you can laugh when someone mocks a disabled person, jeer along when someone insults his political opponent.

Trump is speaking. He can't just make a speech about a momentous event, he has to ding Biden in the middle of it, going off script to insult him. Biden is facing terminal cancer right now. Trump might have pulled off this peace treaty, but in what passes for his soul he is a dark and petty man.

I taught elementary special education for 26 yrs. I changed my college major from English to Special Education to earn that degree in 1976 because the law guaranteeing education (94-142) was to be passed in 75. It was a wonderful career. Now this. What in the hell is going on with our government???💔

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Watching a Mary Tyler Moore episode from spring, 1972. Two guest stars will star in later shows as "Weezy" Jefferson (Isabel Sanford)❤️ on The Jeffersons and Howard the airline pilot on Newhart (Bill Daily)--kind of an audition for those two. Mary Frann was on the previous episode, later in Newhart.

Watching it now--he became a US citizen in 2019, so he qualifies as a national treasure.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver this week is a complete takedown of Bari Weiss... and it's thorough and devastating.

And a bit of interesting timing, given that Weiss's new boss, David Ellison (who is talked about in the episode) is trying to buy HBO, where Oliver's show is...

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

Me, neither. Last possible date I could have been there was first half of 1972. Growing up in Downers, we had the best damn field trips.

Went to the field museum yesterday. I dunno what my problem is, but I cannot do more than two hours. It's a great museum, though.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

“The bird is descended from a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), which is native to the eastern and central United States, and a green jay (Cyanocorax luxuosus), which traditionally occurs in Central America, Mexico, and southern Texas.”

How does anyone stand to be around Stephen Miller? He is so tiresome, starting back when he stood up in his high school lunchroom and declared that the students shouldn't be made to clean up after themselves. Entitled self-important little shit. Keep dancing, blowup Antifa!!!

Oops, it didn't all fit and I made a mistake taking out the words...
"he had to call his mom for help." She had to go down to Mexico to find him and pick him up!

Someone must have helped him, given him food to eat, a place to stay, and money to call his mom. He was there for a while!
