Step 1 of the plan:

Turn the justice system into a political witch hunt operation that punishes critics for free speech and immunizes loyalists for actual criminality.

I voted for Kamala Harris. I was stunned that she was so soundly defeated. I hope many feel terrible about not supporting her, but that won't change what happened. What will you do in the future?

Sadly, too many continue to be fanatic Trump supporters.

Didn’t like her voice
Didn’t like her laugh
Didn’t want to vote
Couldn’t vote for a woman
Couldn’t vote for a black women

If more of us were educating donors, media, business leaders, etc could we influence how they support long term youth-serving programs? Look at this graphic.

The volunteer-based tutor/mentor program that I led from 1975 to 1992 is now Tutoring Chicago, and celebrating its 60th year. I was invited to share my reflections, which you can view in the video in this article. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/10/cele...

This is the front cover of the 1988-89 Montgomery Ward/Cabrini-Green Tutoring Program yearbook. Shown are just a few of the 300 pairs of students and volunteers who were part of the program.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

China and North Korea are taking advantage of this sad situation.

Why aren't Western countries, including the USA, supporting Ukraine the same way, for the same purpose. Innovating and testing new weapons and strategies on a live battlefield can be life-saving if/when a much wider war emerges.

Tim Mak @timkmak.bsky.social · 2d

Here’s what we’re reading today:

North Korea supplies 35 to 50% of Russia's ammunition, supplying 200,000 to 260,000 152 mm and 122 mm shells per month.

The countries are using the war in Ukraine to test and improve North Korea's weapons.

Північна Корея забезпечує від 35 до 50% потреб Росії у боєприпасах, постачаючи 200-260 тис. снарядів 152 мм і 122 мм на місяць. — Укрінформ.
