As a pundit I tweeted+spoke A LOT. At times I've been sarcastic, unclear or plainly missed the mark. I apologize for offending ppl who care as much as I do about making America the best, multiethnic, diverse democracy+I'll rep the Biden-Harris admin w/humility, sincerity+respect.

For the record, I've never advocated for, nor believed that Dreamers should be targeted by ICE agents. I've been for DACA + comprehensive immigration reform for years. Frankly, it's depressing ppl can forget about every other thing I've said in public on this bc of bad tweets.

Thank you @United for sharing what you’re doing for travelers re: Coronavirus. As a frequent flyer with status on @americanair I would love to hear what they are proactively doing.

I'm on the board of South Side Weekly, a newsprint & radio nonprofit dedicated to local stories, civic engagement & developing journalists on Chicago's S. Side. A triple match that I, among others, helped fund. $ more than triply well spent if you give.

Congrats to @IamDebraLee and her induction into the @AAFNational Hall of Fame. As she said, “we’ve made strides, but we need to continue” to ensure people of color are included in our stories. Right on!!

Very cool to be on this. Thanks @MotherJones @timothypmurphy "Epic in scope & intimate in its narratives...the story of the people it failed & the institutions that failed them. Buy copies for your friends, sure, but maybe also pick up one for your mayor" https://t.co/NvLx0rwvWs
