Good: Pritzker calling BS, unambiguously and forcefully, on Trumpâs planned invasion of Chicago, correctly identifying it as blatant rights violations based on a pretext. Bad: How much it stands out to see a leading politician do that, rather than go along with the BS, treating the pretext as real.

Childbearing is physically dangerous & painful for women; childrearing is an exhausting, degraded, isolating, and impoverishing endeavor that annihilates womenâs other opportunities & goals. When women are free, they choose fewer children. There is no way to make them have more that is not violent.
