i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

Illinois protects, lifts its LGBTQ+ residents
Unlike some other states, Illinois is choosing compassion and building the infrastructure to protect LGBTQ+ rights. Also, clean energy, college sports, fruit-filled memories, call to Peoples Gas, Trump's National Guard plans, Trump supporters and and sky-high prices for groceries and other goods.

Thanks to Trump's funding cuts, PBS will lay off 15% of its staff.
Trump wants to exert control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all.
It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.
