We didn’t have an election today and I had panicked texts from friends asking me about voting because they thought there had to be an election today.

Had to drive my 18 year old to the polls last minute tonight because he walked by the polling station earlier this afternoon, and he realized he didn’t have his ID so he didn’t go in.

There is no ID requirement in Massachusetts.

I have been to Lincoln’s home several times and the three toilets in the outhouse was what I remembered the most.

Three wooden toilet seats at Abraham Lincoln’s home in Springfield, Illinois.

Soccer game and a statewide band competition. Thankfully the parenting gods aligned so we could make both.

They have no idea they’re wasting their precious time to learn and someone’s money. And their access to you!

Sad. What a waste.

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Randolph County Commissioner confirms effort to 'reorganize' library board of trustees This comes a few weeks after the trustees voted to keep the book Call Me Max, about a transgender child, in the children’s section after a community member requested it be removed or relocated.

Randolph County Public Library (NC) may see their board of directors removed and replaced. Why? Because they elected to keep CALL ME MAX on shelves after it was challenged.

Potential meeting is TONIGHT.
