Spent 6 months in detention waiting on a decision on his asylum application until he was deported to CECOT
The detail that they sent out an asylum seeker who presented himself to immigration correctly also seems new. Again, did we know this? Seems like a weird thing for a terrorist to do

Wage theft is 5x that of all other theft irrc. Unacceptable for this to be happing in a “blue pro worker” state
Interesting 180° difference in how the Illinois AG handles wage theft versus, say, “organized retail theft,” which includes a multi-agency “task force,” $5 million per year to cops for spy tools, a PR machine, & tons of low-level arrests for property crimes, while biz owners stiff workers & walk.
We observed lawyers from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office who showed up to wage theft court hearings unprepared. Since 1993, more than 300 cases were initially dismissed because no one from the Attorney General’s Office showed up at all. (with @crainschicago.bsky.social) buff.ly/WJHXcax

Chicago’s political landscape can easily be mapped with this budget season. From the governor publicly speaking out against the head tax, to wealthy donors making their voices heard, to some progressives falling out of coalition with others…lot’s of lessons learned thetriibe.com/2025/12/chic...
Chicago organizers who rallied to tax the rich reflect on lessons learned after city council passes alternate budget • The TRiiBE
"I think trust needs to be built between these alders and their constituents, especially if they want to run again," one organizer said.

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

What’s wild is we all know exactly who she’s talking about and we know it’s true and we know why and we’re going to keep pretending that this is not the case or is fine actually
One can post white supremacist talking points all day every day while your company was facing multiple race discrimination complaints and your racism is viewed as so beside the point that you are offered a trillion pay package.

Gardner is racist trash. The line about helping immigrants at the expense of Blacks is disgusting. Same article mentions that the amount CPD (many of whom live in his district and terrorize the Blacks he claims to care about) overspent on budgeted OT was 150M. More than was spent on immigrants

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.
