Say what you will about Pennywise the Clown, but he doesn’t have a Nazi tattoo and his platform of giving me a balloon from out of a sewer grate will materially improve my life. He’s got my vote for Collins’s seat!

Ted Cruz also had a note in the Epstein book, can anyone translate?
Trump isn’t prepared for this. Chicagoans have lived through the hottest summers and coldest winters in the country. Their teams include the Bears and White Sox. I once saw a woman drop trou and piss on the floor of the Red Line and people just laughed. Trump is walking into the USSR in February

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.
This man is no radical and no true progressive but he’s the way forward for Democrats. Compassion and passion and no fucking hedging about those things being good.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
