I can’t think of a better way to observe Banned Books Week than by reading excerpts from banned books. Today: Ruby Bridges Goes to School, by the civil rights icon herself, Ruby Bridges. #BannedBooksWeek #LetFreedomRead #fREADom

Make it a point to read the things censors say you shouldn’t. That’s what I’ve been doing the last few days to mark Banned Books Week. Today: The 1619 Project, created by Nikole Hannah-Jones.

In Chicago, Dick Butkus was football. Thinking of his family today, and all the Bears fans who loved watching one of the best to ever play the game.

I initially rejected the claim of "genocide" regarding Russia's invasion for being hyperbolic in the beginning. 2 years later and with countless direct quotes, it's very clear that Russia's war aim IS genocide. Opposing Ukrainian aid only serves to help make that genocide happen

I will oppose any effort to hold the federal government hostage for Ukraine funding. I will not consent to expedited passage of any spending measure that provides any more US aid to Ukraine. ow.ly/u5Og50POrPQ

Lavergne has been the red headed step-child for a long time Glad our boys have graduated and we no longer have to deal with it. But the future is in the hands of children, and we need to start with at least a good education
