The front porch is Atlanta’s original social network: atlantamagazine.com/news-culture-a… I ended up with a stoop rather than a porch when we bought, but I’m committed to teaching my fam the art.
Taking this time in West End of Louisville to school mija on the art of porch sitting & speaking to errybody. Must preserve Southern ways.
❤️ this. On the Front Porch, Black Life in Full View: A look at how an architectural fixture has played a role in Black culture. nyti.ms/2E21Xb4 There’s years worth of me talking about porches onhere, it’s nostalgia for summers with my grands + dreams of my forever home.

The Trib story on Pritzker’s IEA endorsement also includes quotes from Dem lawmakers on the likelihood of CPS funding in veto: chicagotribune.com/2026/08/17/gov…
IEA endorsed Pritzker for reelection yesterday, which was a little jarring considering how much CTU-dominate/CPS news I consume. chalkbeat.org/chicago/2026/0… Also yest 👇🏾 + the filing for JB’s $65M contribution to himself hit. It hardly feels like a race…
After ~2 yrs, just in time for a critical veto sesh for the district, CPS will have an IGA Chief. But not without some Board drama: board-rule.ghost.io/the-rundown-on…
Looks like @reemadamin & @NaderDIssa are live tweeting the CPS Board meeting that just got started if you’re a glutton for punishment.
How the Supreme Court remade religious liberty in the Christian right’s image: In a Court eager to move fast and break things, the justices are moving fastest in religion cases. vox.com/politics/49958…
Supreme Court sets Nov. 3rd date for case over Catholic preschools and Colorado's universal program: ncronline.org/news/supreme-c…
SCOTUS accepts case that asks if private religious schools that accept public education $$ can refuse to enroll students based on religious principles. Colorado & 2 lower courts have said no. SCOTUS could give a different answer: chalkbeat.org/colorado/2026/…
Supreme Court Stays Out of Case on Gay Rights and Foster Care: nytimes.com/2018/08/30/us/… Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch disagreed.
Rapid delivery of high-quality satellite images to frontline troops is a key battlefield advancement of the last yr, enabling Ukraine to strike quickly vs. weapons depots, logistical hubs & troops deep within territory held by Russia, & in Russia itself. 🎁nytimes.com/2026/08/17/wor…
The Strategy Behind the Battle for Crimea: Ukraine’s new offensive on the territory has military stakes far beyond payback. foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/02/ukr… Main thread that includes much more on drone capabilities below.
How a Ukrainian bank worker, from Russian-occupied Melitopol, came to face life in a Russian prison. Artem Murdid, his mother & his girlfriend are accused of terrorism. They vocally pro-Ukrainian, but say they only signed a confession after torture. 🔓 nytimes.com/2026/08/16/wor…

It’s been years since I tweeted about Ukrainian politics outside of the Orthodox split (thread below), so I’m starting fresh. A comedian & actor best known for playing a teacher that becomes president on tv could actually be Ukraine’s next president: economist.com/europe/2019/03…

At “Quasi-Public” Private Schools, 100% of Students Get Tuition Vouchers. There’s Almost No Accountability. propublica.org/article/privat… These schools exist throughout the country. WI had 39 in the category. Together, they were educating 7,923 kids & taking ~$87M from state vouchers.
Majority of TN’s expanded voucher program went to high income fams: wjhl.com/news/regional/… Tennessee Department of Education said 9,360 of 15k newly available vouchers went to students in the program’s 3rd-priority category, where a family of 4 could make up to $173k per year.

Can charter schools teach religion? Fight looms even after Oklahoma state board rejects school: chalkbeat.org/2023/4/11/2367… The virtual Catholic school could resubmit their application as soon as next month.
Two folks I don’t care for arguing: Former County Commish/Wilson campaign flack Richard Boykin demands apology from Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas for vulgar text messages cbsnews.com/chicago/news/r… Given Pappas’s history, truly can’t know about that use of “boy.”
Look, I hope we’re past “Maria, just being Maria” or men being allowed to act in the way Pappas is accused in the workplace. Passionate doesn’t explain away putting your finger in folks’ faces or telling a Latina contractor to learn English: chicago.suntimes.com/2026/02/24/coo…
Could the next reporter that interviews Mike Quigley just ask him which city services exactly he wants to take a hatchet to? Since he’s willing to say he’s for laying thousands of people off repeatedly, that seems like the natural follow up. chicago.suntimes.com/fran-spielman-…
Fine, I'll make a mayoral candidate thread even though it's too early. On Mendoza, I'll just say no one should be surprised about the places she's willing to go on crime. youtu.be/yLe6DtXmGeA?si… x.com/SharoneMitchJr…
The SAFE-T Act did not create the presumption of innocence, a bedrock principal of our oft-challenged democracy that’s pretty important everywhere, but especially in a region that has such a long and painful history of wrongful convictions and police misconduct.
Islamophobia’s Rise in Texas: ‘I Won’t Rest Until Every Muslim Is Gone’ ⛓️💥nytimes.com/2026/08/17/us/… Muslim communities have been growing for decades, particularly around Dallas. Now, conservatives want to roll up the welcome mat.
A Reagan-Appointed Judge Issued a Firm Rebuke of Texas GOP Claims About the East Plano Islamic Center: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/… The judge allowed EPIC’s lawsuit vs. the funeral commission to proceed + rejected the chair’s claim of qualified immunity, which is rare in the circuit.
With El-Sayed’s Victory Comes a Wave of Islamophobia: 🎁 nytimes.com/2026/08/11/us/… The onslaught is being fueled in part by Republican Party officials and has quickly become a central aspect of the strategy to beat Dr. El-Sayed in the fall.
Michigan Senate primary called for Abdul El-Sayed: nbcnews.com/politics/2026-… Closer than the internet would’ve had you thinking in the last handful of days, but still a big deal given how much was thrown at him.
Speaker Mike Johnson: Islamophobia is acceptable. Defends lawmaker that said, “Muslims don't belong in American society.” politico.com/live-updates/2…

Governor Pritzker on more money for K-12 schools: "If you’d like I can pull the pockets out of my trousers to show you that the state does not have the dollars that are just laying around. And so the question is where can we find those dollars?"
CST did a story on a Darren Bailey contributor which I’m not gonna share, but I’m stuck on the spox’s quote: “Darren speaks at a lot of churches, honestly ... we go to African American churches, major Protestant, non-denominational churches ... he goes everywhere.”
GOP candidate for IL-Gov: Textbooks at Bailey’s school teach students that “God regulated but did not forbid slavery.” Teachers are instructed to ask students to compare outlawing abortion to ending slavery, & explain the strengths of the 3/5s Compromise. ksdk.com/article/news/p…

👀 James Talarico Poaches Cornyn Staffer: Cross-party hires are rare, but the move could show the Senate Democratic campaign is hoping to reach out to Republicans in reliably red Texas. notus.org/campaigns/jame… I’d assumed it was comms, interesting it’s a policy hire.
Paxton’s victory over Sen. Cornyn is a crushing blow to the Texas GOP's old guard, which has faltered in recent years against the Paxton-led insurgent wing. texastribune.org/2026/05/26/tex… + The case for Democratic optimism in Texas: nytimes.com/2026/05/27/ups…
