I hate how they dress Karen Pirie in the show. It doesn't appear androgynous and independent, it just looks unprofessional and immature. Like she's hiding.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

I've had that happen to me. (Different circumstances, not on the street.) Rn, I can't think of an example on the street with a local cop. If I find an appropriate image, I'll come back to you.

Here's the other Tribune photographer who Border Patrol pointed a weapon at on the same day.
2/2 Are there any experts out there who can correctly identify the weapons being pointed directly at these two @chicagotribune.com photojournalists?

What type of rifle/long gun is this?

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.
Breaking MSNBC:

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

Things like vaccines and health insurance risk pools break right-wingers brains. Because it can't just be about individual choice/autonomy. You not getting vaccinated or not to having insurance screws everyone around you. It's the purest distillation of "we live in a society."

Trump’s only priority is giving a big tax cut to rich people, screwing over working people, and making his family richer while Americans struggle to get by. Republicans might not care about the families he’s hurting, but I do — and I won’t stop fighting for them.

🔥 Costco continues to excel. CFO said last month in an earnings call: "Almost half of our new member sign-ups are now under the age of 40."

In Jan, Costco shareholders voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 98-2%

GOP AGs threatened Costco. They stood firm on DEI.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
