Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I felt something that has become unfamiliar: pride. Watching the living presidents gathered together reminded me that our story is bigger than any single administration, election, or demagogue.

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.

Imagine going back to your high school two years after graduating while wearing a USA uniform and playing alongside players you’ve always looked up to… and in front of a packed house. What a night! Congrats Char!
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
I can’t believe people have actually complained about Justin Bieber sitting at the laptop and singing along to his old songs. FUCK. FOMO is killing me rn.
An unmatched legacy written by a girl from Hooper.

Her house burned down, the man she loved for over a decade cheated on her, she lost her voice, and her own father walked away when she needed him most. And through it all, she kept going, holding herself together. My heart aches for her. This song was meant for her
