At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.
One thing that is tough about rapid response/patrols, besides constantly being threatened by armed secret police, is that for the most part they see the defeats. There are exceptions, but you’ll never know how many people were saved by slowing feds down, whistles, community alerts, etc.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.
"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

I want to push back against the sentiment that we live in terrible political times and we must exist as if we don't. Let me hold your hand gently when I say this:
You don't have to keep it moving like the world isn't burning. You can meet the moment *and* do daily life. Let's talk about how. 🧵

Aw yeah, it’s the feast day of #WilliamWilberforce, #politician, #evangelical #Christian, antislavery activist & social reformer (1759-1833). Brother Bill said “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know."

Cardinal Robert Prevost--Pope Leo XIV--is a great choice. I'm fairly optimistic in terms of outreach and inclusivity for the Church's outlook.

The HHS published a lengthy document that rails against gender-affirming care for youth and the professional associations that have developed standards for treating them.
But beyond its overtly political nature, experts say it does not meet the bare minimum of basic scientific standards.

If you're at a Red Sox home game and you want to send me a song request, this is the best place to do it. If you prefer to send it via Twitter, that's okay. If you prefer to send it via some other means, I may or may not see it in time. Thanks! Let's have an awesome Red Sox season together! ⚾ 🎹
