They deserve better.
The Lost Children for the victims of every school shooting There's no more laughter in the museums. And that's just the beginning: There's no one beautifully out of tune in the church choir, no one spinning on the thing that spins in the park. See? It doesn't even have a name, because children have to name a thing like that. No one breathes on the window of a school the week before winter break, writing her name in the mist. What's a school now anyway? A place to keep the dead. That's all. History knows that. It stands a mother before a ditch and it hands her her child, and she has three seconds, three seconds to say to him all she would have said in their life. Everyone knows when the gun-hunger comes the children go first, as saplings bow to the first snows of winter, and silence did this. We did this. We're winter. Come, let's walk awhile through the ruins. You can still hear their voices, in the coldness: there, in the places they hid in—a safe-room, a dark barn, a cellar, a closet at the back of a classroom— wondering what sound that is, what power, wondering where all the grown-ups are. —Joseph Fasano

Memorial Day isn’t just about burgers and barbecues — it’s about honoring those who gave everything so we can live free. Take a moment to remember. Then go ahead and enjoy your weekend. That’s what they fought for

Chicago is excited about the new Pope!

The new Pope is a White Sox fan, but considering that the Sox need all the help they can get, this Cub fan (and Protestant) will forgive Pope Leo for that.

Snow Angels! There’s something magical about laying in the snow & looking up into a bright blue sky.

This is an excellent suggestion!

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

This! We need ACTION from our Democratic Senators and Representatives, loud noisy action and protest!

"Sir, the House Democratic Caucus is failing to meet this moment. By a lot. There were ten weeks between Election Day and Inauguration, and it’s not as though y’all didn’t know in advance the rough sketch for what’s occurred over the past eight days."
