Emmett Till was born right here in Chicago on July 25, 1941. And it is with deep humility and great pride that I signed legislation this week at Roberts Temple to declare his birthday as the Illinois Day of Reflection and Remembrance of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.

Governor Pritzker, Rev. Wheeler Parker Jr., Dr. Marvel McCain Parker, and others at the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ.Governor Pritzker holds the bill designating Emmett Till Day in Illinois.

Nobody talks about how we're all paying $15 for sandwiches now and just pretending that's normal. Five years ago that same sandwich was $8. The price doubled and the only explanation we got was "supply chain issues" which apparently means "forever."

the massacre at el mozote was probably the hardest book ive read in years. the blatant denial by the US government, who largely funded and trained the soldiers who perpetrated the massacre, under Reagan and then the release of thousands of documents by Clinton...the US has always been a shame.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

im sorry, but working in a homeless shelter for transitional age youth, I cannot see where Karen Bass has done the work to manage this housing crisis. some of them it takes them their entire transitional living program term (18-24 months!) to get permanent supportive housing. thats fucking absurd.
