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.

Not the type of record the White House should be trying to break. Makes sense why they’re awfully hush-hush about this one.

@irishrainforest.bsky.social is absolutely right. And Ireland is not the worst example of this. I live where it is most egregious -- the United States.
Extreme wealth inequality is killing planet Earth, and hijacking political power so as to be allowed continue.
This is the most important thing to understand right now.

More #Trumpdementia. Best numbers? Is he lying to himself, or to all Americans, or both? I don't think he knows -- he's losing it.
Trump: "I have the best numbers for any president in many years. Any president. And I would say if you read it, it's pretty clear I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad."
(Trump's approval rating is currently at a historic low, even for him, so no, his numbers are not the "best")
