The Obama Diary 
How fantastic that the Obama Presidential Center is providing so many jobs for Chicagoans and featuring the talents of workers as the project takes shape. So looking forward to a TOD reunion after it’s completed and dedicated.
Thank you NW for posting Maurice Harris’ story and celebration of life.
Yes indeed Judith! What a reunion it will be too 👏🏾👏🏾🥰
TEDtalk:
“Meet 2019 Obama Fellow Colette Pichon
Battle Founder and Executive Director of the Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy:
Colette founded the Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy to dismantle structural racism exacerbated by climate change. At the end of 2019, Colette gave a TEDTalk about her work and how to cultivate collective resilience, better prepare before disaster strikes, and advance human rights for all.”
(obama.org)
Glad to know about the work of Colette Pichon!
What Ms. Pichon says is so important.
On another topic, who else is utterly sick of Joe Manchin?
big thanks Judith.
We saw the lobbyist confirm that Manchin is a ‘Kingmaker” in Congress for Exxon Mobil.
Smugly controlling the fate of Democracy in America….in a world of rising fascism.
Q: Who/what else is driving his me-me-me response?
—Not his constituents.
Well said Judith!!!
Perfection!

PBO…in our hearts.
Always!
And as stupid as many of them behave, there should be
Paging, Bobfr….
LET’S DO IT!!!
This is a must!!
👍🏿
WHY WOULD THIS BE BIDEN’S RESPONSIBILITY…AND WHERE WOULD THEY GO…..THIS IS SUCH A STUPID COMMENT…It angers me that no matter what the GOP does…somehow so called progressives find fault with DEMS…just STOP!
Preach Sheila!
Same goes for garland.
It is NOT Cowardice…It reveals who they are …..who they have always been…What can #WeThePeople do
so many youngsters have become monsters is some scary shit.
Yes, karen, it’s mine now.
what priorities should the DOJ have and how successful would these prosecutions be…..We just had SCOTUS disregard Precedent and Rule of Law in order to allow the drip drip end of Roe V Wade…
It is hard to know what is happening in the DOJ…keep in mind that the DOJ was damn near destroyed by Trump and his minions… we have not seen many firings…Trump got rid of the IGs…building the DOJ back up will take time…
AMEN>>>>>We MUST MAKE THEM FAIL!!!!
That article is actually titled:
“In Invoking Beau, Biden Broaches a Loss That’s Guided His Presidency”
Congressman Raskin:
““People can obviously have different reactions to that,” Mr. Raskin said, “but we found it enormously consoling.”
“He wanted to talk to me about his kids,” Mr. Guttenberg said, “but in a weird way it was also so that I would talk to him about my kids. It was his way of saying, ‘We have a bond here, and you can be comfortable with me.”
President Joe Biden encourages people who have lost to talk about it, and it goes both ways.
“Only a sane spiritual rebuilding of the human race can bring about peace. To set about this task, we must go back to the child.
In the child we can find the natural human characteristics before they are spoiled by the harmful influences of society.
The life of the embryo in the mother’s womb has the sole purpose of maturing into the newborn child. But the gestation of the whole human being is not confined to that short period.
Another period of gestation follows, whose sole purpose is to incarnate and make conscious the child’s spirit. Delicate nurture is needed to protect this often unrecognized process which can only be carried out by the child, obeying a natural rhythm of activity which has little in common with that of the commanding adult.
Truly, upon the spiritual growth of the child depend the health or sickness of the soul, the strength or weakness of the character, the clearness or obscurity of the intellect.
The nurturing of the spiritual life finds its expression both within the family and at school in what is still called education.
If education recognizes the intrinsic value of the child’s personality and provides an environment suited to spiritual growth, we have the revelation of an entirely new child, whose astonishing characteristics can eventually contribute to the betterment of the world.
I believe that the new adults who emerge from a more tranquil childhood will use their intellects and achievements to find a means to end the fury of war.
Monumental changes are needed to establish peace in the world: first, the maturing of adults to a higher level of development and, then, the providing of an environment that will no longer deprive any human being of the basic needs of life.
Through new education, we must enable children to grow up with a healthy spirit, a strong character and clear intellect, so that as adults they will not tolerate contradictory moral principles but will gather human energies for constructive purposes.
– Maria Montessori”
shows ya how many times political entities have edited and re-written the Bible…
Good West Coast Sunday morning Nerdy & TOD family 🌟🌞
Y’all, Propane Jane wrote this thread in 2018. Read all of the tweets.
Congrats Chasten and Pete…two angels to cuddle!
This endless manufactured divisiveness from the architects on the right, without which imo
Americans would’ve felt the unity in the struggle against Covid. It could have brought us together.
The protocols were for our common good. People lost and kept losing, we can all relate. Protocols that we’re not using now, even as fatalities have DOUBLED from a year ago before we had the vaccine. Millions of children unvaccinated and a variant that is more transmissible with twice as many dying…imagine going back to school in the fall season. Without vaccines or masks schools will be incubators. All teachers must be vaccinated and wear masks…no excuses Union Leaders!! What do we do about ghoul governors targeting children, putting them in the hospital and ending their lives? Close the schools again? Are we spectating, what are we waiting for?
America act to stop the inevitable. Do something to protect the children from a fatal virus.
Same with indictments against Trump and friends for all their terrible crimes….we must act. imo without action, as with climate change, inconceivably much worse is on the way.

He was just on Jonathan Capehart’s show … his win would mean he’d replace Val Demings after she replaces creepy Marco Rubio!
Yes! he is an amazing young man and will go far!
I plan to move back to Florida later this year, and I’m hoping all these fabulous changes happen!
