I posted my #VeteransDay article. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/11/vete... Thank you for your service. Too bad government does so little to honor you. Too bad racist GOP is dishonoring so many men and women who have served, and serve now.

Dick Durbin obviously never saw the Peanuts cartoon strip with Lucy holding the football and saying "kick it". I hope who ever replaces him will have more ability to fight GOP tactics.

Or do I feature this "Enough is Enough" graphic which I show at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/05/pove...

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

My third choice for a new Substack is to write about this "Total Quality Mentoring" idea. drive.google.com/file/d/1HyoS... I might combine all three.

I've kind of hit a wall this morning. What graphic will I feature on my next Substack article? This "how can we do this better" is on my list. See it at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2020/09/cons...

I lived right there for 7 years. That's my old corner store - my old apartment is right across the street. This shit is so infuriating and heartbreaking and cuts so deep and very personally.

In today's blog article I encourage schools and youth-serving programs to use the October #WriteOut project, along with my own examples from the tutor/mentor programs I led in the past, to engage more students in creative writing activities. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/10/enga...

I've been sharing this "Role of Leaders" strategy since 1990s. I show it in this new article. danielbassill319958.substack.com/p/role-of-le...

Exactly this 👇

And Trump does not want to invest in solar power? WTF! Elect leaders who will make this investment and lower our electric bills...while building more data centers!

Congratulations to all Democrats and Progressives who won USA elections on Tuesday. Keep building momentum to 2026, then 2028 elections. Say NO to Project2025, ICE and radical right.

I shared this "Role of Leaders" strategy in this 2001 newsletter. Unfortunately, very few people actually received this. Now it's available to millions. See some of my past newsletters at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2024/05/repe...

This post shows that while I led a single #tutor #mentor program in #Chicago I also led an effort to draw attention & resources to EVERY program in the region. Every youth program could be doing this, raising more attention for themselves and each other. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/05/many...

This is the "WUZ UP!" teen news from the 1996, created by teens who were part of the #tutor #mentor program I & 6 other volunteers created in late 1992. I share it at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/10/enga... along w other examples of student writing activities. Inspired by #clmooc & #writeout

If your republican house rep is in a vulnerable district, feel free to steal this and encourage them to do the right thing… end this fascism before it ends us… 👇👇

This week's Chicago Hack Night will feature Cook County's IMPACT Program, which is funding solutions that address digital gaps and leverage storytelling. I write about it and showed what I wish were on websites like theirs. mappingforjustice.blogspot.com/2025/11/cook...

I can't believe it! #Bears survive. Sad for Bengals. Didn't the lose a game like this to the Jets?

The #Bears should have just had their defense sit down and let Bengles score. Disgusting.

gd it, you couldn't just make a freaking stop????

If you use Wikipedia, you might have noticed that it isn't cluttered with annoying ads. They depend entirely on donations to remain free & independent. Why not toss them a few bucks? donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php

Look at articles on tutormentor.blogspot.com under the archive tag and you'll find much that I have preserved from as long as 45 years ago.

We had a handful of kids come to our door tonight. Not as many as I expected. Some went right past w/o stopping. I don't know why. Happy #Halloween everyone. Let's De-ICE the USA. What a treat that would be.

Imagine how much money is being spent to create these defenses.

It is murder.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

I vote "NO" on US military involvement in Venezuela, and the outright murder of Latin American citizens on the open ocean. If the UN had teeth, it would be prosecuting Trump and others responsible for this and other wrongs. Did we learn nothing from the invasion of Iraq? I guess not.

Have a fun, SAFE #Halloween. This was me in 1970s, handing out Taffy Apples to students in the Montgomery Ward/Cabrini-Green Tutoring Program during Halloween week.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

To be abundantly clear, ICE is violating everyone’s constitutional rights, citizens and non citizens alike. The coup leaders commanding this ongoing illegitimate brutality want us to forget that core fact. It’s intentional confusion arising out of the chaos they create. Stay focused. ✊🏼

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
