For two years, Israel has killed 92 people a day on averageβ€”and 27 of them are children.

This is what happens every day our government allows the genocide to continue.

It never trickled down--just up.

Now, CEOs are calling from yachts while many veterans continue to live on the streets and essential workers can barely afford to live.

We need to fundamentally re-think what we're doing in America.

That you so much for covering this!

Health professionals have been systematically eliminated in Gaza, and it's so important for their peers to keep speaking out.

Yeah, the trailers look good, but this movie is almost an automatic pass because of the people involved unfortunately.

The people have spoken.

The era of 5 days a week in the office is over, and most want to work from home as much as possible.

I'm glad to see people aren't coming in just because leadership says so.

Kat is one of the few Democratic politicians who actually understands the moment we're in.

Charlie Kirk was a fascist and paid agitator for powerful interests who gleefully spread dangerous misinformation, targeted vulnerable groups and academics for harassment, glorified the violent, helped fuel the Jan 6 insurrection, and ultimately contributed the impoverishment of our discourse.

Really cool! Hopefully down the road they add a column on your profile like "Media" to contain all the posts with these types of attachments. That way, people can easily find all of a writer's longer-form articles!

Zionists are literally addicted to lying.

They can't even resit lying about how this meeting with the pope came about.

It continues to be an embarrassment that the right-wing Chicago Tribune is the newspaper people associate with our city and think people actually read.

Absolutely!

And even if/when we realize our mistakes, undoing these changes and regaining our civil liberties is going to be extremely difficult.

Thank you for continuing to draw attention to this!

People are so desperate for a "quick fix" to the problems their kids are facing, whether that's anxiety, trouble in school, etc. that they immediately glommed onto "banning phones".

If think they'll be surprised to see in a couple years that this "fix" accomplished less than they thought.
