Students across the North Side β€” including from Amundsen High School, Mather High School, Northside College Prep and Roosevelt High School β€” organized a walkout Monday to protest President Donald Trump’s ongoing immigration enforcement crackdown. I’m covering for @blockclubchi.bsky.social.

I don't care about Halls of Fame and I can't stand the guy, but this is absurd.

I did not like "How Ya Like Me Now?" the first time I heard it on a commercial and that has not changed all these years and many products later. Please stop asking me.
