I collect & share ideas others can use to fight poverty & inequality & help volunteer-based tutor, mentor & learning orgs reach K-12 youth in more places. Piloted since 1993 in Chicago. I have posted on social media since mid 2000s.
If you are involved w volunteer-based tutor, mentor & learning programs in any way, you need to be using the info I share in my newsletter to make sure well-organized, on-going, programs are reaching K-12 youth all areas w persistent poverty. tutormentorexchange.net/2026-newslet...

About time alternatives to Starlink were created. When will they be available?
KittyKatGirl😻🙏💞🐞@mary1kathy.bsky.social · 3d agoBoycott Starlink!
Thought for the day. To reach K-12 youth in all high poverty areas we need to influence what business & donors do, not just what youth program leaders do.

I created this in the 1990s to show goal of business support for K-12 tutor, mentor and learning programs. It's still needed.

The Washington Post reviewed a Heritage Foundation database of voter fraud cases and found 85 cases relating to allegations of noncitizens voting between 2002 and 2023. 85…over TWO DECADES. This entire administration is built on lies.
I wondered how much it costs to put innocent immigrants on planes to every corner of the Earth... this is a disgusting amount!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
So sad and tragic. When I first started teaching, this kind of thing wasn’t even on the radar. Now elementary school children are the victims. We have to get things turned around in this country, gun control would help. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Number of people injured at scene was not clear, as police say suspected shooter is dead at the scene

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

Most any individual deserves a day of respectful silence when they pass from this earth. So if you are feeling, well, not precisely grief-stricken at the death of Mike Ditka, set this aside to read tomorrow to remind yourself why. www.everygoddamnday.com/2017/10/mike...
Mike Ditka is not a Chicagoan
We can be aghast at Mike Ditka's oblivious racism, or grateful for his candor, or both.

Whoever wins the governorships in the battleground states will certify the 2028 presidential election. There are election deniers running, in Wisconsin and elsewhere. We've got to beat them. My new NYT op-ed:

The 2028 election is on the ballot right now.

How tf did Zelensky end up as the bad guy in this when putin was the one who INVADED his country for no damn reason???
If you get $90 from Drump will you donate it to a Democratic candidate? I will. That could be a huge boost and another unintended consequence from a White House action.
This #NationalTutoringWeek, hear from aspiring teachers about how tutoring has shaped their practice and set them up for stronger starts to their teaching careers.

Paris manages. London manages. Somehow Chicago can’t provide the tourists it covets with relief, other than alleys.
