Hooray for the Humanities!
Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Asking questions and admitting what you don't know is not weakness. It's courageous and I believe goes a long way in building trust. ❤️
completely outside of politics, this is so charming

I am so disappointed in @durbin.senate.gov. He sold out @barackobama.bsky.social, his former senate colleague. He sold out progressives and liberals who sent a very clear message just 5 days ago. Most importantly, he sold out the 500k+ Illinoisans who will likely lose their health insurance.

Yup.
Buncha supposed politics experts are going to spend the next week looking at a young charismatic candidate with an optimistic message like it’s some cryptic formula for cold fusion

Amen.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, thank you for standing up and defending our state! And to the people of Chicago, who spoke out or protested: I freakin’ love youse guys!
(CNN) - President Donald Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops .. could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

I love my governor!!!
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I am grateful every day to live in Illinois!
The Illinois State Board of Elections says it will not hand over to the Trump administration a copy of the state’s complete, unredacted voter registration database, citing state laws requiring the agency to protect voters’ sensitive personal information. https://to.wttw.com/45OofcI

Why is it called “tug of war” when it’s actually a “war of tug”?

Let’s go, Illinois!
Nothing Trump does ultimately will be successful if we refuse to be silent, refuse to comply, and continue to resist and take action.

The other thing to note is: community colleges are insanely important for what remains of the American Dream. They let people get trained for jobs we really need, and help them become manufacturing workers or HVAC specialists or electricians at tiny costs.

When my husband proposed and we were settling on a wedding date, I said, “Which month has a Saturday the 23rd?” 23 had always been my favorite number because of #Ryno. Bridesmaid dresses were blue and there was ivy in my bouquet.

He was classy as hell. #ryno

Classic!
Jon Stewart's first show since CBS (and mutual parent company Paramount) cancelled his friend Stephen Colbert and The Late Show. Jon blasts "precompliance" and has a very NSFW song that some may find familiar.

Preach on, Jon.

Just discovered that they released Jill Sobule's final album posthumously. It's a recording of her one-woman show, F**K 7th Grade. (Great title!) And the final song on the album is (It Was) A Good Life. The word bittersweet doesn't cut it. #JillSobule #F**K7thGrade #AGoodLife
