Just as other cities are wrestling with what to do about monuments, schools and government buildings that honor people who acted dishonorably toward Black and Brown people, Chicago has to deal with its own racial reckoning. https://t.co/h8WWEeN3oO

I don’t have the answers to ending gang violence. The only people who might are the people involved. What I do know is that when kids feel they are loved and protected at home, they are less likely to pick up a gun in the street. We've got to do better. https://t.co/XDcZ5sD3ib

Osaka's voice is as powerful as her serve. https://t.co/FH6VAKQkSY

Her mistake was not going directly to the heads of the newsrooms, TV and radio stations and talking about that lack of diversity and inclusion. After all, the press didn’t turn overwhelmingly white overnight. It has been going that way for years. https://t.co/qu9VgMnC3I

The city’s year-to-date murder clearance rate is 58.45% compared to 51.88% in 2019. In 2017, it was just 29%. Just as we insist that the city hold rogue police officers accountable for their actions, we need to salute those who do the right thing. https://t.co/JyjRt585WJ

What a relief that Trump will be banned from Facebook for awhile longer — and let’s keep it that way. https://t.co/JuFMANT3u2

Angry South Side residents complained about these problems last year, at the height of the pandemic, some saying they hadn’t had mail delivered for weeks. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this issue has gotten much better. https://t.co/jcjlMYFVVY

Bolden became a real problem for the Secret Service when he threatened to reveal the agency’s shortcomings in guarding President John F. Kennedy. https://t.co/vlLEaTiYyv

The guilty verdicts aren’t going to change the culture that led to Chauvin doing what he did to Floyd, nor will it magically change the distrust of police officers that exists. But whenever justice triumphs over injustice, it chips away at that distrust. https://t.co/hvWCVbkgVr

There should be no more delay. Maintaining an indefinite military presence in Afghanistan is untenable. https://t.co/YfrhbdnMvO
