Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

As a librarian, I watched people’s research capabilities degrade in the age of Google. Maybe we will be forced now to relearn how to use databases now that even Google keyword searches are worthless.

I should introduce myself since my bio is short. I’m a SharePoint Administrator, mother of two adult children, a dog, and a cat. My job has taken me around the world and I know that there is no greater country than the one we live in. I’ll do what I can to protect our Democracy, in my small way.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

I'm old enough to remember when the GOP threw an absolute SHIT FIT when Janet Reno released a study (done in the wake of the OKC bombing) showing that the right was responsible for more political violence. They pressured her to retract the study, and she caved.

We're in this situation because of the collapse of good local news media. It created an info vacuum, & well funded social media & podcasts stepped into it
I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.
I wrote a bit about the misguided effort by Democrats to replicate Joe Rogan the right-wing podcast ecosystem.
