We knew there was more lending in white areas of Chicago, but the sheer scale of the disparity is shocking. When you hear about disinvestment, this is what people mean. https://t.co/rLUatMMZwa Your weekend #longreads & #listen

@pksmid @WBEZ Heartbreaking on every level for public media, audio reporting, and culture in Chicago. Hard to fathom that this level of talent is being let go.

[Linda Lutton @lindalutton]

Horrible for Chicago, public media, local reporting, democracy, and all of my uber-talented former colleagues-- those staying and the 14 being laid off.

I want to say this. Pay for your news. Support public radio. Subscribe to the NYT and others. Journalism matters. It’s been bartered and discredited by those who stand to benefit. But everyone has the power to change that.

[Linda Lutton @lindalutton]

Sad news. Barbara Ehrenreich, my one and only mother, died on September 1, a few days after her 81st birthday. She was, she made clear, ready to go. She was never much for thoughts and prayers, but you can honor her memory by loving one another, and by fighting like hell.
