Nice. A local media presence that won't be co-opted by the Local 99 or whatever the geezers (ASF, AFUT, etc) are calling themselves these days. More Hurtt Mocking, Less Hurtt Hawking.

Mike Johnson wants all not obviously white people to die in the ER for having no ability to prove citizenship while unconscious, bleeding, in tremendous pain, etc. Just like Jesus would want.

If I were a (D) representative, I'd seriously be worried that they are going to reduce the headcount through extracurricular means before they reconvene and swear in the new member.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

At least they still bother to let the arguments be spoken out loud.

Make him own everything that happened at Carlyle, just like he professes to want.

If you know any of these AFUT folks, please make an effort to show them the warmth and hospitality they would show a duplex resident. If we treat them as they appear to want to be treated, maybe they will see the error of their ways (or move to Loudoun).

My favorite part was the author's indication that he has no idea who Harry Truman was or when the military was desegregated. Total trash. Do better @nytimes.com. Let the Washington Post handle publishing trash like this.
