I know, I know.. we not suppose to like NASCAR being here. However, yesterday I heard dozens of ppl say “Chicago is beautiful I need to come back again.” I saw cool farmer’s tans on the south side inside Harold’s. A good mixing of people being nice to each other is dope – at Chicago, IL

In honor of Pride Month @NourishHopeChi is offering a dollar-for-dollar match in June. Individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ are disproportionately affected by food insecurity & mental health challenges—two things the nonprofit works to alleviate ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

My favorite part was @hmcghee asking if, after all she’s witnessed, @MichelleObama stands by “When they go low, we go high.”
“Going high is a choice to approach a problem with a solution-oriented mind. Going low is the most self-indulgent way I can react.”
So, yes 💜

We mourn the loss of the lives taken by senseless gun violence over the holiday weekend — at the Highland Park July 4th parade and in separate shootings in Chicago. We grieve with those affected by the ongoing tragedy and are heartbroken for the greater Chicagoland community.
