Women engage in mass 'primal scream' in wake of Trump victory: 'Release our pain'

Remarkable footage shows Wisconsin women screaming in unison towards Lake Michigan in the wake of Vice President Harris’s Nov. 5 loss to President-elect Trump.

The footage, which recently went viral on social media, was originally posted by a Facebook user named Tamara Gibbs. The event took place at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay on Nov. 9.

The extraordinary video shows around two dozen adult women screeching at the water. The screams eventually reach a crescendo, as video shows the shrieks getting gradually louder and louder until the group stopped.

“What a gorgeous morning to gather at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to engage in a Primal Scream in order to release our pain and frustration after the election,” Gibbs wrote in a Facebook post. “If you zoom in you will see Trump supporters proudly waving their flag on top of the hill.”

The Wisconsin resident also thanked the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) for standing by, but the department told Fox News Digital that Whitefish Bay was not in their jurisdiction.

Gibbs also shared video of the women standing in a circle and attempting to cheer themselves up after the election.

“We need to start organizing… We have the opportunity to, in-state, in two years, take back the legislature,” one woman said to roaring applause.

The “primal scream” event took place days after Trump won the election by a landslide. The Republican leader swept all battleground states, including the Badger State.

The recent video echos the notorious footage of protesters screaming towards the sky when Trump first won in 2016. Many of the protests were organized by a group called Refuse Fascism.

At the time, a Refuse Fascism organizer said that their screaming protests showed “unity and solidarity.”

“We are screaming in rage, we are screaming in pain, but we are screaming in unity and solidarity ’cause we have a plan and a way forward,” Eva Sahana said to Patch.com in 2017.

Another Refuse Fascism member who organized a 2017 demonstration in Philadelphia likened their screaming to “a pack of wolves.”

“We don’t want to scream helplessly at the sky,” Samantha Goldman explained. “We want to scream like a pack of wolves [to bring down the administration].”

Illinois State Police release video of deadly shooting involving ISP troopers on South Side

CHICAGO (WLS) — Illinois State Police have released videos showing a deadly shooting involving state troopers last month in Chicago.

The video in the player above may be difficult to watch.

The shooting happened around 10:50 p.m. April 15 in the 6500-block of South Champlain Avenue in the city’s Woodlawn neighborhood.

Officers got a call for a domestic battery from a passenger in a vehicle on I-57.

That passenger led the officers to find her boyfriend, 24-year-old Jalen Carpenter, in the 6500-block of South Champlain Avenue.

That’s where the newly released video picks up.

ABC7 froze the video at the moment it appears Carpenter fires a weapon during a scuffle with the officers.

No one was hit by that bullet, but seconds later, the officers return fire, killing Carpenter, officials said.

The officers are still on administrative status while the Illinois State Police Division of Internal Investigation investigates the case.

‘Viral’ mac and cheese bar expanding in Iowa with new Waukee store

You know that viral mac and cheese place? The one that slathers every bowl with ungodly amounts of cheese? The one that makes you feel lactose intolerant just looking at it?

Yeah. Roni’s Mac Bar is opening its second Iowa location, this time in Waukee.

The store will celebrate with a grand opening on Saturday, May 16 at 10:30 a.m. sharp

In a video on social media, the company credits the new location choice to the Waukee man who drove to a location in Waco, Texas, asked for a bowl so cheesy that the chef making it felt lactose-intolerant just looking at it.

Frank Senese, chief executive officer of Roni’s Mac and Cheese, said the business as the “Chipotle of mac and cheese.”

“It’s comfort food; whether you’re a hungover college kid, tattooed biker or a little princess in a tutu, you’re going to find something here that you’ll love,” Senese told the Ames Tribune before the company’s restaurant opened there in 2025. “It’s a fun way to think outside the box.”

The first 100 people to get in line can spin the wheel for a chance to win giveaways and a year’s worth of mac and cheese.

Roni’s Mac bar boasts massive menu

The quote, “Think outside the box” is painted on the wall inside the mac and cheese bar, and the menu certainly inspires customers to do just that.

Roni’s Mac Bar has created a menu of more than 77 million possible combinations that continues to grow, Senese said.

Every bowl can be unique, with drizzles like pesto and ranch, and toppings such as tomatoes and even pineapple − a topping that can be a key indicator of a repeat customer, Senese said.
