RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Last month Trump and RFK Jr announced the FDA was was recommending a new drug to treat autism — leucovorin

But they failed to provide any more information. So parents flocked to a Facebook group, that quickly filled with chaos, confusion and conspiracies

“State constitutionalism makes it easy to consider Roberts Court jurisprudence white noise,” Hawaii Justice Todd Eddins wrote in a recent ruling that assailed the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority.

The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

CPD has 20+ injured on duty this afternoon, most/all from federal use of gas. Related: no arrests by CPD, no documented uses of force by CPD. (I wasn't everywhere / didn't see every skirmish. And possibly some late-entry TRR forms to come.) Saw two federal arrests, saw one on video didn't witness.

Chaos in Brighton Park. This is representative of the amount / direction of pepper and smoke sent into the neighborhood, in this case, for no reason I can discern other than because they were leaving. Feds had a clear path out in a different direction, and residents were vocal but not violent here.

An incredibly touchy subject around here, and the Triibe is one of the few outlets that can properly frame it.

This graf is so fascinating:

To better understand Chicago, Enriquez said the council educated newcomers on the history of segregation. Many migrants were confused as they didn’t live in segregated communities in their home countries, according to Enriquez.

Braved the October heat in Madison to appreciate these Art Deco beauts near the Capitol, all, it turns out, designed by Law, Law, & Potter

Color photo of a 10-story Art Deco skyscraper clad mostly in limestone blocks. Above base each story has 7 windows. Chunkier sections on end but middle windows and green sprandrels alternate with minimalist pilasters. Top has four fins and, higher, a rectangular parapet.

Color photo of a 3-story commercial building in a sand-colored stone (sandstone?). Six large windows with divided lights on top 2 stories, gray spandrels in between.
