Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.
Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

If you want to understand why neoliberal privatizers and of course Trump extremists attack Chicago so fiercely, it’s precisely because of everything mentioned in this article.
