One of the greatest comebacks in NCAA basketball history was led last night by Kelvin Sampson, a member of the Lumbee, an Indigenous and Black North Carolina tribe. His father helped fight off the Klan in the Battle of Hayes Pond. He’s the first Native coach to ever go to Final Four. DEI, baby! ✊🏽

Part of me is happy to be part of the community witnessing this filibuster, the other part is absolutely angry, gutted and miserable when thinking about the reasons why it is happening.
Showing some signs of fatigue, but Corey Booker is still going strong into his 18th hour on the Senate floor.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I work in Lombard and had no idea this existed! This is a pharmacy I can support.
Chicago Pride Pharmacy is a critical access point for patients with HIV in Lombard, but they're getting hit hard by pharmacy benefit managers.

Unfairly high prices from PBMs have put a strain on them and their customers.

It's past time we reform their unfair practices.
