We just got back from a trip from Chicago to Boston and then from Bradley/Hartford back to Chicago O'Hare. I am reminded that the English word "Travel" has its roots in the French word "travailler" which means "to work". We are exhausted. #travel #language

No matter how well you play, if you are consistently a bully on the neighborhood basketball court eventually the other kids won't invite you to the game and will play without you. We have become the bully and the rest of the kids are going to start enjoying b-ball without us. #tariffs #politics

Ok #Wisconsin . This is a no brainer. The Wisconsin #aclu sent out a questionnaire to Crawford and Schimel to help us compare their #SupremeCourt candidacies. Take a moment and read their answers. How can we elect a judge who won't even answer? www.aclu-wi.org/en/publicati...

While the Musk and Bannon #Nazi salutes are despicable and should be condemned we are missing the point of the gesture. They manage to control the narrative for yet another cycle. They throw out red meat and we spend valuable cycles talking about it. How do we control the narrative ourselves?

A good reframing of our work in the coming years. What I hear is that instead of spending our precious time observing The Don and complaining we need to turn around and keep our attention on the reality on the street and heaping those problems on The Don. open.substack.com/pub/newrepub...
