In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

They have no right to yell about tablet, kids when I can hear all of their kachings and beeps from across the office.

My favorite is when I'm waiting somewhere, like a doctor's office, and a boomer is on their phone playing a shitty phone game with the sound on.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases.

Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

The fans that hate OC for being silly are the same breed of fans that kept me from enjoying wrestling for decades.

OC also is what got me into wrestling, too, as a full-ass adult! I never liked WWF and such growing up. Thought it was stupid as hell. Lots of steroid-ridden men screaming at each other.

And then there's this chill guy, talented, and it makes me see ALL the other parts of wrestling that I now love.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Great reporting from @erininthemorning.com. If anything mattered anymore, this kind of analysis, and the overzealous misuse of the data would be humiliating.

If eating a special diet could cure Crohn's we sure as hell wouldn't have so many people under the knife because of it. What is wrong with people?

In the US, it can be prohibitively expensive (along with all other forms of healthcare). It's something I can't personally afford.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Like, of course I'm trans as a non-binary person. I'm certainly not cisgender.

"not trans enough" has always been and will always be bullshit.

Kenya transgender rights victory hailed as African first QNews LGBTIQA+ News

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

Maybe Jesus scheduled the Rapture today or tomorrow because we invented Cosmic Crisp and he wanted all those delicious earth apples for himself on Rosh Hashanah
