Having inflation to take off while wages are frozen in place is a disaster waiting to happen, and if it’s not fixed, we’ll be the ones to suffer the consequences because it’ll affect our way of life.
We gotta run those times back!
Come on Ford Taurus!
Unacceptable that inflation is showing no signs of easing in this economy.
The Brandy-Wanya revelation is not an isolated incident. The 1990s music industry had a documented, recurring pattern of adult male artists and producers pursuing secret relationships with teenage female artists.

This reveals a systemic failure, not individual bad actors. The industry created the conditions. The culture provided the cover. The silence ensured it could repeat.
The legal and psychological standard for consent is not the absence of a “no.” Consent requires three elements: maturity, knowledge, and autonomy. All three must be present simultaneously.
Coercion does not require physical force. Structural coercion occurs when the power imbalance between parties is so significant that the less powerful person cannot meaningfully refuse without risking consequences they depend on.
When a 16-year-old’s career access, industry mentorship, and emotional support all flow through a single 22-year-old man, the power differential itself becomes the coercive mechanism. You don’t need threats when the architecture does the work.
Brandy wrote she believed sex would “cement their bond”—only to later realize she never had a real choice. This is the hallmark of coerced consent: the victim internalizes the groomer’s framing and experiences exploitation as their own decision.
Peace & quiet! 🖤

Let's go, Chicago!
No Kings!
3/28/26💪NoKings Chicago, IL🇺🇸
A woman in yellow holding a sign that reads "You'd think the Constitution was younger, given how hard Republicans are trying fuck it".
A person with a taco hat holding a sign that reads "Trump wouldn't last 30 seconds at the Wiener's Circle".
The No Kings march in Chicago is stepping off, heading south down the city's downtown Columbus Dr.
I see a few local political figures at the front of the line, inc. IL-09 Dem nominee and Evanston mayor Daniel Biss and Chicago 40th Ward chief of staff and former "Broadview Six" indictee Cat Sharp.
A white background with light distressing throughout. There is bold teal font with pink shadow that states, "Submit a witness slip!" Between the words Submit and A, there is a pink oval with black font in it that states, "HB 4834 Hearing, Stop Testosterone Tracking Records!, March 25th @8am"
Submit a witness slip in support of the proposed HB 4834 Bill for it's House Human Services Committee Meeting!
Submit a slip here!

I’ve been having the come to grips with reality conversations with a lot of cisgender people in my life. From family, to friends and romantic interests/partners.
Like be an ally or accomplice or get out of my life. Leave me alone and stop the fake love. Actions over words any day!
The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge.
Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division.

I hate that damn automatic zoom thingy that the camera on Apple products like MacBooks & iPads are doing when I’m on camera during a meeting. I wish to know how to turn that damn feature off. It’s annoying. Apple needs to fix that.
