Ohioan living in Chicago. I tweet about politics, sports, and social justice. 🇺🇸 could be great, if we just gave a shit about each other. Opinions are my own

More than ever, it’s essential that we try to have a real exchange of ideas with each other about the challenges of racism and inequality we face in our society. I hope you’ll consider reading and subscribing to my blog dedicated to the discussion.

@united , can you get it together? On flight 1531 from MSP to ORD and got diverted to Madison. We got the all clear an hour ago, but are still sitting here because they’re collecting “performance data”. We left MSP 5 hours ago - let’s go!

@JacobLRosen My Rockets lost both the women’s and men’s championship today. Tough sledding 😫

[Alton L @Alynum]

Just another casual 15 people deep line at the @Walgreens on Wood & Milwaukee in Chicago. With all the stores they’ve closed, you’d think they could supplement the staff with a few extra people to provide an actual decent customer experience!

@JacobLRosen @annabeyerle Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Eli!

People get really mad if you point out that inflation has fallen a lot since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act but it is true that this is what happened.

Shoddy graphic design aside, this flier is downright untrue. Issue 1 makes it harder for citizens to amend our state constitution. We must hold politicians accountable with majority rule. Vote NO on Issue 1 this August!

@Sabree33 Don’t get me wrong, I watched some CFB but the big games for me were the #Guards. Especially after it became clear my Rockets weren’t going to cover lol

[Alton L @Alynum]

While most sports fans were thinking about college football and things like “is JJ McCarthy QB1”, I stayed wit 15
innings of baseball and watched Kirk McCarty deal 3 scoreless to set up the Guards for a sweep of a doubleheader. Postseason baseball for #CLE is a real possibility!

He’s probably gonna be suspended the whole year so might be an issue for ‘23. I’m ready for Jimmy G!

[Mary Kay Cabot @MaryKayCabot]

Joel Bitonio believes the #Browns will be booed wherever they go like when Deshaun Watson took the field in Jacksonville. “It seems now more than ever, it’s Cleveland against the world. We’ll be ready for it”

The days of our nation's biggest companies paying zero dollars in federal income tax are numbered.

The current GOP isn’t pro-military. It isn’t “for the troops”. It won’t take care of veterans. They’ll support endless war and the funding of the war machine, but not the people who lay their lives on the line. An absolutely disgraceful vote #RepublicansKillVeterans

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

📺 NEW VIDEO

Republicans just voted AGAINST a bill to help toxin-exposed veterans survive. Then they celebrated. #RepublicansKillVeterans

Wrote my first piece in awhile - this time about guns, gun safety, and our culture. https://t.co/3ppX54HGWj

@kvnbsbl Absolutely unreal. Even after they improbably tied it, they could’ve easily lost in the bottom of the 9th and 10th. What a game. And what a performance by Naylor. This team is so inconsistent, but they are fun!

[Alton L @Alynum]

@kvnbsbl I actually really like Morgan, but I’m not sure he’s better rn. Plesac throws way harder and has been really good to start the year. Morgan is underrated and an eventual piece in the rotation though

[Alton L @Alynum]

Wrong take. Baker’s value is trash after last season. The Browns couldn’t wait for a suitor for a mediocre QB when half the league was after Watson. They’ve got their man, and they’ll trade Baker for a pick or two before camp. I’m excited to see the Mayfield to Anderson combo

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

The Browns needed to trade Baker Mayfield before the ink dried on Deshaun Watson’s contract. Instead, they trashed Baker in the media, aided in killing his trade value and are stuck with a QB they don’t want.

[Alton L @Alynum]

So excited for @XavierMBB! I was disappointed they didn’t make the big dance, but they rebounded from a horrific finish and ended the season with a win. NATIONAL(LY INVITED) CHAMPS BABY!!!!

[Alton L @Alynum]

@PeteXU @sean_m10 Gotcha. A10 definitely ain’t the Big East, so X could’ve definitely had a few more conferences titles if they had stayed. But I love that they are in the BE, and they’ve proved they can be at the upper end of a good league

[Alton L @Alynum]

That Arizona/TCU game was epic and quite the close to the opening weekend of #MarchMadness . I love the tournament!
