I also try to avoid saying I “have to” do something. It is an overused phrase, and removes one from decision making.
There are few things in life one “has to” do, ha. Better to say / think I “choose to” do XYZ because ABC.
Please please read this from the archbishop of Chicago

Jesse Jackson never stopped fighting for America, in times of darkness he turned to hope and embodied the light.
The ability and willingness to schedule a meeting.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Exactly, now add a column showing total average team revenue. I could be wrong, but owners are likely getting a bigger share of revenue than ever before.
The 5th year of war in Ukraine has begun.
At 4am on this day in 2022, Putin ordered his troops to destroy Ukraine. They tried. They failed.
It's Day 1462 and a daily thread with all the fact-checked news, free, every single day.
Please send a coffee if you like my work🙏
Here’s last night’s story about Twitter, how it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, and the real reason why John won’t be tweeting in the future. Hint: it has something to do with his amazing feet. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI
I was also thinking about this. Thank you for posting it.
The chances are waning that Vladimir Putin’s armies in Ukraine will produce something he can call victory. But Russia’s president cannot give up. We explain why
In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
So cool. A real “Leaders eat last” moment. Outstanding that the NFL has this award, and fitting that a Chicago Bears offensive lineman is the first recipient.
Thank you Joe 🙏🐻⬇️
After winning the first Protector of the Year Award, Joe Thuney received some messages from some of the great offensive linemen who came before him
As we approach the Super Bowl, and embrace Black History Month, and take in the ICE atrocities in Minneapolis, I want to post this wonderful summary of Prince’s Minneapolis sound GOAT halftime performance.

Minneapolis has real Boston 1775 vibes lately. No surprise that John Adams—a moderate farmer and lawyer, yet the principal agitator for independence—was radicalized against the English crown by its Eye of Sauron-like brutality against his city.
Honda Fit Super Bowl commercial practically writes itself, ha
A star was born
“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out
I spent an hour watching today live. I had to disconnect from it for a bit.
Conclusion that's easy to reach is one I reached a long time ago: None of this should be happening, ICE shouldn't in the streets, the military shouldn't be in the streets, and the blame goes right to the White House.
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
There’s video now. Worst thing I’ve ever seen. The entire ICE contingent needs to be arrested
