Calling on all candidates to boycott the worst Editorial Board in the nation. Its endorsement is an insult to any decent person.
I think more candidates running for office in Chicago should tell the Tribune Editorial Board to get fucked.

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered former Mayor Emanuel to testify about allegations that a “code of silence” among CPD officers led to a botched 2018 raid of a Back of the Yards apartment that violated the civil rights of a family with 4 children — ages 4, 8, 11 and 13. @wttw.bsky.social

Minnesota deserves better, but they’ll be taking a bullet for the nation if they get her out of the Senate.
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

In the interim was the phenomenon of White Flight, when all the racists fled to the burbs because they hated POC. In Chicago immigrants came to our rescue by filling out the neighborhoods the racists fled.

He’s telling the truth. But traitorous Democrats are pushing a dirty deal to fund ICE anyway.
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

“I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”

From the worst editorial board in the US. This rag’s founder used booze as a pretext to persecute Irish. So the Trib is pissed off we can no longer use marijuana as a pretext to persecute POC.
From the Editorial Board: A trip to the United Center often means a chance to see world-class athletes and some of the biggest names in music. More than enough to buzz about, without the aid of cannabis at what is after all a family venue.
Editorial: We’re not buzzing about THC beverages being sold at the United Center

“Chicago is lucky. Chicago Public Media (which owns the Chicago Sun-Times), the Reader, Unraveled Press, the Triibe, Block Club Chicago and others offered excellent nonpaywalled reporting about ICE’s invasion to all Chicagoans . . .”

The Democratic Quislings are going to fund ICE, and this Senator will whip the handful of Democratic votes needed to make it happen, so all of them can gaslight us about opposing ICE.
