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.

yeah, it’s one thing to critique the Dems and push for more. But to believe they're on the same level as the Republicans is foolish.
I see this sort of proud posturing a lot and it's really a wonderful way to loudly demonstrate to everyone you have absolutely no idea what's going on

Just walk out! You can leave!
tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

I watched so many reruns as a kid. Loved the sisters. I can't stomach watching Bill Cosby himself…otherwise, I'd rewatch it.

I do try to use this stupid power to do as much good as I can -- promoting important causes, shining a light on good reporting and scholarly work, etc etc.
But this is a volunteer gig in my free time. I'm not your monkey.
If you stamp your feet and make demands, I'm just going to block you.

Dozens of students walked out the front doors of Beaverton’s Southridge High School into the pouring rain this morning to protest ongoing immigration enforcement in the community.
Hundreds of Washington County students stage walkout over ICE activity
The protest took place less than half a mile from the preschool where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shattered the car window of a local chiropractor and arrested him as he dropped off his two-year-old in June.

Seattle has thousands of Somali immigrants, many in my neighborhood. We go to the same farmer's market. We shop at the same stores. We share the same sidewalks. They fucking matter to me and I firmly reject the idea that any place on earth would be better off without Somalis.
