I think it’s really cool that people my age seem to be front & center in this fight. And, yes, it is safer for 61 yr old white women like me to be out in the streets than than a marginalized, more vulnerable demographic. Not as easy on my knees but worth it.

As a Chicagoan I feel your pain. Feel exactly the same way.

I completely agree. I live in Chicago & one of my best friends lives in Portland. I lived 30 years in Florida before moving to Chicago. I’ve taken on the role of letting all my FL people know. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know.

Mine actually said “There’s a lot of things in this old Life that isn’t fair.” That’s the East Tennessee version, I suppose.

Apparently, he’s declared War on Chicago today, so he’ll probably have to finish that war first.

My family & I are white, but we live in Chicago & we love Chicago. Granted my patriotism is at an all low ebb these days, but it doesn’t seem very patriotic of the US President to go to declare war, even jokingly, on American city. So my city is a US Enemy??

I just can’t believe anyone has the energy to be offended by the words used to describe the food at Taco Bell. I mean you’re eating at Taco Bell, dude. Your threshold for being offended must already be pretty f-ing high. What’s offensive is they have the nerve to call the processed 💩, food.

Remember that book that Samuel Jackson narrated, “Go the Fuck to Sleep”? I think he needs to narrate “Go the Fuck Away Mr. President” or “Leave Us the Fuck Alone Mr. President”. Can’t he just go play golf & quit doing shit. I’m just so tired of him. It feels like he’s been President forever.

I wasn’t crazy about Biden & I’m annoyed he ran for a 2nd term. But weeks went by when I didn’t think about what the President of the US was doing or going to do. I miss that.
