Crocus. But it’s still too early here in northern Illinois.

Colbert’s show may end sooner than expected. It doesn’t matter now because we’ll all follow him to his next destination. Never loved him more!

I hope you ate many pancakes to make up for the years you didn’t know!

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Too bad it was still too early for Raymond Burr to be out as a gay man.

I fell in love with her in about 1967. Fortunately we’re both still around!

Chicago or Minnesota?

Another heartache for Caroline. She’s had so many.

Karoline Leavitt has drunk the Kool Aid.

So funny and adorable.

Congrats on your nomination.

Looks delicious. Warm with butter!

Because a lot of us have been boycotting since January.

I’m on the other side of the Atlantic bit surely looks delicious.

I find it hard to trust what MTG is saying.

This makes me so sad. I hope she can find a way to complete her PHD.

Jacob’s reporting from Chicago has been excellent.

Thank you for being an important part of why Illinois is safe for me and my community.

Rogers Park is such a wonderful diverse neighborhood.
