    Our brother Yoni Vallecillo, a Honduran immigrant and teacher at Jones College Prep, is now a newly sworn-in U.S. citizen. He has just voted in his first presidential election. Such a powerful and absolutely wonderful moment. Don’t ever take this right for granted. Vote.

    A Halloween classic from Miss Cooper’s class at CICS Wrightwood on the South Side. Word is there’s a Thriller 2.0 coming. Stay tuned. 🎃🧙🏾💃🏾

    We did our thing in Chicago, too. Ms. Jazmine Cooper — about 7-8 months pregnant at the time — and her students at Wrightwood Elementary on Chicago’s South Side. Halloween 2019. Epic. Don’t sleep on the little queen in the pink. 💃🏾

    Dear President-elect Biden: Rahm Emanuel closed 50 schools and covered up the murder of a 17-year-old Black child until after he won re-election. Sincerely, Chicago
