The Obama Presidential Center is taking shape. This photo doesn't show it but the Athletic Center is starting to take shape too. I've labeled the parts (and neighbors). The library roof will have the gardens and slope as a green hill into the park. #JacksonPark #Chicago

This is bad if you care about trurh, history, or information availability to the poor.

My mom's estate auction is live. Marion "Lucy" Clark was an internationally recognized hand-hooked-rug artist and a volunteer for the lobbying campaign to estanlish the US Institute of Peace. Her dad loved estate sales--the circle of life: shenandoahvalleyauctions.hibid.com/auction/6316...

This has been two weeks of constant events that are more dangerous than January 6th or, I’d absolutely argue, even 9/11, and it is a damning indictment of American media that so many publications and reporters are too cowardly, too docile, to act like it.
Yes. Meanwhile the rest of mainstream media is largely acting like this has been a mildly worrisome two weeks, not the greatest scandal and danger to America that any of us has ever lived through.

I'm in the @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com this morning asking: Who exactly is running the federal government?
