Follow your intuition, people can’t help but telegraph. There are times when trying harder is a cover. Hard pass for me, even if offers seem to meet all my needs.

Why does all the assault of women, misogyny, and the failure to keep relationships with them make sense now? It is time for the files to be released and all the scum to be drummed out of office.

Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.
The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Our grocery bill went up another 10% in the last two weeks, after 9 months of steeply rising prices. ComEd rates which normally are 1¢-4¢ per kW hr this time of year or less can be 39¢ in the middle of the night, when we’d normally run appliances to save money. Instant ramen is not off the menu.

Seeing these election returns and hearing the bell toll on the authoritarian regime. People are pissed and more never trumpers are being created by the day. Hope the underlings understand they can and will be prosecuted for their crimes.
