I immediately looked up her age, thinking she might be 21 or 22, and victimized by a much older, more powerful man, but she’s 49!!!!! If she’s a pro hypes victim at nearly 50 years old, maybe she needs a chaperone.

The Glenn Greenwald part made me laugh. What a putz he is.

Yes, it’s weird but the first thing I did was check to see what her husband does. Luckily, he’s not a lobbyist or activist like Ginni Thomas but a respected gastro-intestinal surgeon who seems to have no political activities going on.

This is exactly why people say the culture of policing needs to change. When you normalize a certain attitude inside, it carries over outside.

I’m lying in wait for the spineless, pusillanimous Rob “The Jellyfish” Portman, whom the media loves to call a “reasonable moderate” and who just today tweeted that the Democrats are trying to engineer a “federal takeover” of elections which we don’t need (he said) because a poll showed 94% of Americans said they…

I wouldn’t mind the crazy, showboating outfits so if she were’t also gleefully voting to block the progressive of democracy and enable the worst elements of the GOP, while pretending they can be reasoned with and persuaded (wink wink).

And think, something in short supply among these people.

It’s astonishing that some think “education” means never challenging what you believe. If you’re racist, you should be made “uncomfortable” and introduced to new realities. But I agree that these “banned books” list are likely make kids read more. When I was in high school in the 60s, our English teacher let us vote…

Too many of us. just want to see extravagant charges tossed on Trump just because we know in our bones he’s guilty. Courts need to see hard evidence; Letitia James is smarter than we are and she knows what you need to do to make charges stick. I don’t care what they put Trump in prison for; if they have to do it for a…

I’ve been saying that anyone who comes to a school board meeting to rant about Critical Race Theory needs to be asked to define it and identify what school and class it’s being taught in, and if they can’t, security should be called to throw them out on their ass unceremoniously.

I don’t get this. I’m white. I’ve always been white. I don’t feel bad about that. I DO feel bad that there’s so much racism in our society. I feel bad that cops shoot people for no reason at all, like Tamir Rice playing in a park or Harith Augustus walking to work down 71st Street minding his own business. I feel bad…

Why do you have to eliminate what will be a major boon to the city and the neighborhood to create low-income housing? That’s important but this center strives to enrich the lives of community members far beyond putting a roof over heads. And the discussion about gentrification and housing affordability in this…

I’m eager to see how tweets will be archived! I’m betting there will be no Trump Presidential Museum unless he can figure out how to pocket all the money.

It’s actually the opposite of “just a museum.” It’s a community center intended for repeat visits and community engagement, not a place to go look at displays under glass

Actually it will improve and expand usability of the park. Re-read the plans.

They're only marginally legit. The loudest complaints have been coming from a largely white, outspoken group of professional againsters.

There has been so much feedback from residents and others it’s unreal. And the center will be open to the community for all sorts of activities. There will even be a public library branch there that any child will be able to walk into. There are issues with housing but there are groups who have been working on this…

It’s Hyde Park. Not only will someone be upset — to us Chicagoans everything in this article is ancient news — but they will write looooong letters to the Hyde Park Herald about it. While residents of Woodlawn, just south of Hyde Park, have legitimate concerns about gentrification and have been working on addressing…

This guy is high on my list of trashiest Republicans. It’s a long list though.

Shontel isn’t a “centrist,” a meaingless word that’s basically a smear intended to mean “I just don’t like this person.” It never has anything to do with. their actual policies.
