Not sure if it’s showing up on the broadcast, but here at the Park I’m loving watching Sangbin. He is doing a ton of work off the ball to make something happen. Quickly becoming one of my #allforcity favorites to root for

So, like, it’s weird that this needs to be said, but unless you’re biting your finger and signing in blood, you are also using a tool to express your intention to write your name.

“Guy known for scamming people decides to shut down federal agency in charge of policing scams” is a headline I think we all could have predicted a year ago… but it’s still frustrating to read it in real life. Who knew I cared so much about the CFPB?

Just taught the same lesson I teach every year on “Traits of a Healthy Democracy” and I’ve now been asked by multiple students if I’m criticizing President Trump. So, that’s a sign.

Well, it’s another Traitors’ Day, but one more absurd than the last 3. Pray for us, the high school civics teachers, that have to go to work & teach about the principles of our republic with a straight face. Suffice to say, the lesson on “rule of law” now brings up a lot of good follow up questions

If you’re not tough enough to focus on your job because of who someone else loves, you probably shouldn’t be a soldier. I mean, Alexander the Great conquered the known world and he wouldn’t be allowed in Hegseth’s army… www.cnn.com/2024/12/12/p...

My son’s soccer practice was just cancelled—too many kids going to the USMNT match tonight. I think I’m about to cave and get us tickets too… stupid, expensive passions. See ya’ll at CITYPARK for the last time!

Wasn’t trump upset about DEI programs because he thought it meant unqualified people were getting put into important jobs they didn’t deserve?

Newbie question: what’s the slang for posting around here? As much as I love the idea of “I just tweeted everyone…” becoming “I just blue’d everyone…”, I’m thinking that’s not right.
