God I despise my gender.
I wish men truly understood how often their peers only pretend to cultivate women's talents because they want to fuck us. I am a short Canadian nobody and it happened to me when I was starting out my screenwriting career no less than four times before I turned 26

I really need everyone in power at the DNC to not get distracted by this and to just embrace Let Them Fight.

Narrator: Bovino has now fled Chicago, because he was being held to account for his illegal actions there by the courts -- and is overseeing the assault and kidnapping of people elsewhere in the United States.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

this article *is* surprisingly good, in a ‘wow, what a surprise everyone who was ever a target of ‘me too’ just so happened to be on email lists with each other, and also Jeffrey Epstein’.
The article itself is actually pretty good. That's the clubby atmosphere that created Trump.

I'd like to see the emails related to the current PR effort between Megyn Kelly, Alan Dershowitz, the owners of News Nation etc.

I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.

I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

i want new leadership too, but this is basically rage clickbait. there was never really any reporting to the contrary about this and moderates were meeting and informing him all along and i thought we all knew that?

Starting to think that maybe @govpritzker.illinois.gov does not, in fact, Get It.
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Almost three weeks ago, I wrote this: www.lawdork.com/p/the-kavana...

It’s not just the Trump administration. The Republican appointees on the Supreme Court — especially Justice Kavanaugh, who put their permission into words — should answer for it.
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...

The Tribune spoke to U.S. citizens and green card holders who have either been questioned or detained during Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

We don’t always have such direct video evidence—or sometimes we do but don’t post to social media to protect privacy—but this happens a lot in Broadview.

Someone appears to be simply standing in the crowd, and for whatever reason, ISP/CCSO/BPD just grab them & invariably slam them to the ground.

It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.
I think the core point is that trump had a honeymoon in which capital/media/political opposition all decided he was the one true voice of america. he did a lot of horrible things with that (including murdering 100s of thousands), but didn't consolidate power...

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????
