JB Pritzker creating the “Illinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.

An acquaintance was recently talking about how they're using ChatGPT to edit a novel they're writing and I obviously wasn't going to *get into it* but when they said "I'm too poor to hire an editor lol" I had to restrain myself

like, "oh sorry didn't realize you were the first-ever broke writer" /s
ChatGPT is trending. As an educated person and writer, I am sickened by the number of people with whom I've recently spoken (in the last week), who say they use ChatGPT to draft their emails, social media posts, and screenplays/books.

We judge people too much by their fleeting opinions—and too little by their consistent actions.

Anyone you meet is likely to hold some views you dislike. No one is as bad as their worst idea, and no belief is set in stone.

The true test of character is how people treat others.
It's starting. The "No Kings" rallies are just the beginning. We may have to go full "Arab Spring."

It's becoming chillingly clear: an administration that gleefully dismantled USAID and consigned countless people to slow death by starvation and preventable disease will not hesitate to inflict hunger on tens of millions of Americans by cutting off SNAP funds.
97% of voters think crypto is a scam. It's the 3% who keep the myth alive.

When your children and grandchildren ask you what you did to fight back when democracy was dying under an authoritarian regime, what will you tell them?

Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working.

I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

Reporter Priya Krishna and photographer Hiroko Masuike followed two women for a year as they set to open a restaurant in Brooklyn. Just a fantastic, informative piece for anyone who has ever dreamed of opening a food place.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
