Polls are open until eight in Iowa--still plenty of time if you haven't already voted!

Huge shout out to the precinct election officials and Johnson County Auditor staff for all their hard work today!

Hit those "-ai" keys any time you can.

Hell yeah, nice work

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Nice!

Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day and neither became a gold glove shortstop. #MissedOpportunity

This is what the Democrats have been raising hell about.

Just a reminder if you're in the Iowa City area, you can already vote at the Johnson County Admin building. ICCSD school board, IC city counsel, and coralville city counsel.

So incredibly proud to earn the endorsement of the ICEA. Education and unions mean everything to me, and I am humbled by the opportunity to support the students and educators of the Iowa City Community School District.

New square logo. Hopefully optimized sharing on social media.

Like magic! Didn't want to lead with the phallic reference.

Thinking I should trade in for a fuel injected on

Almost forgot, today is my 24th Iowa Citiaversary! Moved here on the KLR, and never looked back. Except when I moved away and then came back.

Clearly I am getting through to my students.

Not a taco! Scallion pancake wrap with Chinese five spice pork and chili crisp from the mini mart stand. Phenomenal.

We are entering the time of year when the car heat gets turned on in the morning, and by afternoon, we are using A.C. again. This is a strange land I live in.

"When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic]."--Abraham Lincoln to Joshua Speed, August 24, 1855

I braved the terrorscape that is downtown Iowa City and had a great time at the farmers market. Maya is starting the social studies education program at Iowa!

I implore all white people in the US to stop saying " I’m an eighth, ninth... Nth generation Iowan, Texan, and whichever other state your family of white settler immigrants settled in a long time ago" as if it is some badge of honor that gives you a special right to live in that state.

Instagram post from Stop AAPI HAte; horrific new details emerge about CBP's unlawful detainment of u.s. permanent resident returning from south korea. reports detail how CBP trapped tae heung "will" kim under inhumane conditions for over eight days at an airport. officers moved kim several times to "confuse and disorient him" kept the lights on at all times, gave him minimal food and no bed--forcing hi to sleep on a row of chairs.

will taeheung kim, a korean american scientist and doctoral candidate with a green card, is still being detained by ICE. he's been in detention since July 21, first at SFO for over a week and then in various ICE facilities all over the country.

Just got our second shipment of yard signs, and I'm hoping to get them up around the community. Let me know if you or someone you know would like one!
