This is what’s missing from the book. It is a 300-page meandering navel-gaze. A Joan Didion impression from someone with nothing to say, vaguely offended that readers would *expect* her to have something to say.

Okay first of all.
You have to pull off a *very particular* kind of style to write a 303-page book with zero chapters.
And the unintentional subtext of this book is quite clearly, “Olivia, you are not pulling that off.”

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

It’s disgusting that the criminal president eagerly awaits the next high-profile crime in Chicago so he can seize upon it as an excuse to punish a city that detests him.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
