![a pair of Bebo tweets from 2024, after Abolish ICE was snubbed in the second annual naming contest:
"I regret to inform my fellow Chicagoans that we've been foiled for another year in our attempts (despite overwhelming public support) to name a Chicago snowplow "Abolish ICE"
We remain undeterred however - We'll do this campaign every year until we win"
"in the words of the late great David Berman:
[Well, a setback can be a setup
For a comeback if you don't let up]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cniqkzr5npav7xspfh5ebp5u/bafkreicu7jdlb2zwznzz5w3krps3dpkenn2oe36s35clipfosydent6neu@jpeg)

Unfortunately for those who seek to usurp the title of Rat Czar, I anticipated this possibility and have spent the last 882 making the necessary preparations to defend my title. I welcome the competition!

Thank you for your service in freeing me from the yoke of a really funny bit. I was determined to carry out this campaign for decades if necessary, but I'm feeling pretty damn good about our chances now. :)

Good catch! I mistakenly thought he was only still listed on Taliaferro's inactive committees. Perry was the one who filed his most recent quarterly reporting as of roughly two weeks ago.

WGN’s newest show The Point launched last night with some very funny production choices, such as slowly zooming in on guest Mayor Brandon Johnson while host Tahman Bradley gives his introduction off-screen.
Pure VEEP energy, 10/10 from me.

10th Ward Alderman Peter Chico fails what I call the "Dummy Test' on a D-2 establishing a new Committee for "10th Ward Democrats"
Dummy Test is v simple: 3 signatures boxes exist on a D-2
Dummies like Chico who don't read the form will sign all 3 boxes instead of only signing the applicable ones

![screenshot of the signature portion of the "10th Ward Democrats" D-2 filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections showing that Alderman Peter Chico believes this committee is "Ballot Initiative"[sic], an "independent expenditure" committee [sic], and a "political party committee" somehow all at the same time.
In other words, a man responsible for writing municipal law in chicago didn't read a form he signed in spite of potential personal liability of $5000. To me, this makes him "a dummy"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cniqkzr5npav7xspfh5ebp5u/bafkreiet4yhajeynoltvcwbjclytrfg7oufg4jjbsjcl3frzaqoyv3hedi@jpeg)

As someone who's watched the immigration debate in this country since Arizona implemented a "papers please" law back in 2010, I used to dream of ICE Abolition becoming this normalized amongst Americans.

39th Ward Alderwoman Samantha Nugent is proud of her work on a Chicago budget which the Civic Federation finds places the burden "entirely on taxpayers"
![[39th Ward Alderwoman Samantha] Nugent said that breakaway alderpersons were “up against a clock” and were operating at a distinct disadvantage.
“This was aldermen-led and driven, who don’t have the staff or the policy expertise of the Civic Federation, nor the entire fourth and fifth and sixth floor of City Hall,” she said. “I can only speak to the work that I did and my colleagues did. I’m proud of it. It is a balanced budget that was thoughtful and collaborative. And now, our job is to effectuate it.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cniqkzr5npav7xspfh5ebp5u/bafkreidz7zbrmhwhsnfmny5vcuidemxjjb2nhvuat6pnlfhhuk22ll5ai4@jpeg)
