Indivisible Chicago is estimating the crowd today at 75,000.

If (when?) we have another Civil War, could we please do Reconstruction right this time and not let the defeated assholes regain power through violence?

My grandmother came to the US the "right way" because Congress created legislation to allow her & tens of thousands of other war brides to immigrate after WW2. We solve the immigration "crisis" by creating legal pathways for people to come here not by criminalizing people for wanting a better life.

It was such a pleasure to be on Talk That Pod! I always love talking about podcasting, and it's fun to be on the other side of the mic occasionally. 🙂 Many thanks to Sebastian for inviting me to be part of his exciting new podcast. Check it out! talkthatpod.net/013-kelly-po...

I've done 2 baseball episodes of Unsung History (with @americanstudier.bsky.social on a semi-pro baseball team of students from the Chinese Educational Mission & with @dockent.bsky.social on the Negro Leagues), but I'd love to do more this summer. Any new baseball histories I should check out? ⚾
