This is absolutely monstrous, inhumane policy.

Governor Abbott's troops have been told to push migrant children back into the Rio Grande to drown.

The Indian Child Welfare Act has been vital in protecting the best interests of Native children, their families, and their communities for decades. Today’s Supreme Court ruling upholds the constitutionality of this law and respects tribal sovereignty. https://t.co/h7Aw9CefiK

Outrageous.

An AP language student in SC, assigned to read Ta-Nehisi Coates, instead wrote to the school board: "I am pretty sure a teacher talking about systemic racism is illegal in South Carolina."

The school board banned the book.

My latest for @PENamerica.

@DebGoldenDC I feel like I play this game all year.

@JewishWonk And then there are words that are Yiddish that I thought were English. Furblundget really stumped my college roommates. I swore it was a “real” word but I couldn’t find it in the dictionary to prove it to them.

@wjk1971 Yes. I always think it would be some seriously bad karma to live there. I feel like there was an article in the Chicago reader about it?

[Sarah Karp @SSKedreporter]

This, to me, is a profound finding.

I shouldn’t even be surprised but on the day Brandon Johnson becomes Mayor of Chicago, the Chicago Tribune publishes this garbage from Paul Vallas….

[Dave Stieber @D_Stieber]

Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel closed 53 public schools in Chicago, billionaire Ken Griffin wanted 125 CPS schools closed. When will the Chicago Tribune and Sun Times blame them for youth violence?

30 infants die and we recall 4.7 mil Rock ‘n Play Sleepers

2 toddlers die and we recall 3.2 mil Calico Critters toys

2 infants die and we recall so much formula that the US goes into shortage

Last year, over 6000 children were injured by gun violence. Nothing.

“Brandon Johnson is unequivocal on issues of race, segregation, and how government policies of the past directly targeted and harmed communities of color. With this approach, he sees what is necessary to make real opportunities possible for all Chicagoans” https://t.co/ToRtTA1Pgr

I often think about the people who choose to believe that Paul Vallas definitely lives in this apartment.
