At the Tony Evers/Mandela Barnes inaugural ball in Wisconsin, Tammy Baldwin takes the stage to open up the program. For six years, she kept the light of progressivism alive here. Tonight, every constitutional officer in the state is a Democrat.
Lt Governor Mandela Barnes compliments Senator Tammy Baldwin’s inaugural garb: “I love those coattails!”
(Get it? Like, political coattails helping downballot candidates get elected? It’s an excellent joke, people.)

"May we be willing to do what’s best for the next generation, rather than the next election." – @Tony4WI
Wisconsin's newly elected Democratic governor, Tony Evers, just concluded his inaugural address this way: "Let's polka tonight, and get to work tomorrow!"

(He really does polka, and will do so at the inaugural ball tonight)

Sarah Godlewski took her oath of office today as State Treasurer of Wisconsin—after successfully leading the fight against the GOP effort to eliminate the office. She's dynamite. Keep an eye on her.

Kids’ inaugural gala for @GovEvers and @TheOtherMandela!
When you elect a teacher governor, he doesn’t just use little ones as props. He throws a gala at the Children’s Museum and talks directly to the kids.
Q&A with kids. Child asks Tony Evers what he, as a kid, wanted to be when he grew up. Answers that he first job was scraping mold off cheese, which taught him what he *didn’t* want to do, so he became a teacher. #KidsGala

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

Q (Inaudible.)

THE PRESIDENT: Well, you’re going to have to see that. I have reports. And they have a lot of everybody in that group. It’s a horrible thing. And it’s a lot bigger than 5,000 people. And we got to stop them at the border.
And unfortunately, if you look at the countries, they have not done their job. Unfortunately, they have not done their job.

After an educational trip to Rome, undertaken in the first few months of 1859, he spent the summer of that year studying at the University of Edinburgh under, among others, the chemist Lyon Playfair. In October, he matriculated as an undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford.
Now released from the educational strictures imposed by his parents, he enjoyed studying for the first time and performed satisfactorily in examinations. In 1861, he transferred to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was tutored in history by Charles Kingsley.
In 1860, Edward undertook the first tour of North America by a Prince of Wales. His genial good humor and confident bonhomie made the tour a great success. He inaugurated the Victoria Bridge, Montreal, across the St Lawrence River, and laid the cornerstone of Parliament Hill.

This is my grandfather, Murray Goldfinger. The tattoo, 161108, was given to him at Birkenau.

He's 91 and his health is failing. He told his tale of survival for 65 years. Now, I've taken the responsibility.

One part of his story always gets a big reaction from students.
January 1945. Murray (born Monek) was on The Death March west from Birkenau as Russian soldiers advanced from the east.

He was tired, cold, and hungry. He saw something in the air, descending towards him.

It hit him in the chest, and he caught it.

A 2-lb piece of roast beef.
Monek was shocked. He looked around. Nobody had noticed, so he stuffed it under his shirt.

Over the next two days, he tore small pieces and ate them on the sly.

When I told the story to a group of eighth graders today, they all laughed.

"Was it a gift from Heaven?" I asked.

Sometimes I remember to take a screenshot just before I start writing a new chapter. Here’s a chronological selection:
It’s funny (for me, at least) to notice how I learned I don’t need to be so precious about whitespace and visual noise…
…and having two side-by-side panes (one for writing, the other for notes) is easier than having them in one file and moving above and below.
