PSA for the fellas:
Every woman you know has been in a room with a Pete Hegseth (sometimes drunk, sometimes not) who raged at her for not being instantly charmed by, or acquiescent to, him—like Hegseth rages at reporters—and had to do a quick calculation about getting out safely. And a lot didn't.

and if you can’t run on that then for fuck’s sake get out of the way and let someone run who can
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

@chicagocta.bsky.social I beg you to stop doing this. You don’t run 100% of scheduled trains, and this stop is more than 4 minutes from the end of the line, so you’re only underscoring that you’re not running to schedule @ctaction.org

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.
For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Felony murder is the worst.
This week’s main story is about how you can legally wind up in prison for murder without actually killing anyone, and why Alabama’s official state motto should be a derogatory “Yep.” Full segment at the link in our bio.

Burt Meyer, Chicago toymaker behind classics like Lite-Brite, Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, has died at 99
Mainly working for Marvin Glass & Associates, he contributed to Chicago becoming a vibrant center of toy design. In an age before video games, he also helped bring the world Mouse Trap.
