GO READ !! An over six month investigation that I began after asking myself what Evanston is doing for migrants amidst the resource shortage crisis in Chicago. Conversations led me to this beautiful family and what similar families deserve here in Evanston❤️

[The Daily Northwestern @thedailynu]

IN FOCUS: After fleeing death-threats at home in Colombia, an asylum-seeking family arrived in Evanston for refuge. They struggled to find help in the declared sanctuary city.

To Muslims who sat out the election because Kamala Harris was too ‘pro-Israel’:

How do you feel now that the guy who beat Harris by a sliver just called for
what appears to be the ethnic cleansing of 1.7 million Muslims in Gaza and for the US to take over the Gaza Strip.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

From capping the cost of prescription drugs for all to providing first-time homebuyers with financial support to restoring the child tax credit for families, @KamalaHarris just laid out some ways she'll help lower costs for the American people.

She has the vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands, and I know she will deliver. Let’s get to work!

New art from Shepard Fairey, the same artist who made the iconic Obama “Hope” poster in 2008. Beautiful.

BREAKING: Barack Obama raised $150 million during his 2012 campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris raised $200 million last week.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Interesting timing to do so over the summer once most students aren’t on campus…

One search using Chat GTP consumes 10 times as much energy as a traditional search engine … add intellectual power to the long list of societal dependencies on carbon emissions.

Let’s hope AI can solve this crisis.

They had to shut down Pride Fest for 15 minutes because it was too packed. Moment of Chicago underestimating the gays …

My LGBTQ reporting and health professor was interviewed by Democracy Now. Proud to be his student.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

I'm back fully online now, with a thread of highlights from my appearance on @democracynow this morning. The 17-minute segment began with Amy Goodman playing video of Rep. Jim Banks calling me a "goon" and a "professional prognosticator." https://t.co/J9BBgIEQNg
