INTERVIEW TEENAGERS

about what is happening to their friends and families and friends' families and neighborhoods and schools and sports and jobs and parents' jobs and new responsibilities like doing all of the public errands

And about what is fair and just and reasonable

They care about that

His rhetoric underpinning (what seems like total ignorance of) the law he wants to change is even worse:

"I will ensure more people have felonies on their criminal records! This will certainly help matters"

Per ballotpedia,

IDK if any of them are better. I just don't understand why the party can't be better.

Hopkins is going to Hopkins but he has endorsements from other people who apparently also didn't tell him this was an offensive nonstarter.

I guess somebody started their own unmask-ICE project

probably not subsidized by high net worth individuals

I have completed my employer's 2FA process over 5 times since 2PM

Also, every time I have checked the msft placebo-box (stay signed in)

I am ON CAMPUS

As soon as I figure out how to submit these 2FA fees on an expense report, it's over for you guys

Also, the fee is $1.25/login now. Inflation.

It is funny to me that Lightfoot advertised her project to the public and to donors as "unmasking" immigration agents and posting their identities so the public knows who they are dealing with

And the minute Pam Bondi said "you better not"

That is no longer part of the project

If your first and most important goal is to protect people abused by the government you figure out how to actually do that first. Before doing anything else.

You don't put them in legal jeopardy to advance your political goals

You know who antagonizes their legal opposition without first calculating all of the obvious retaliation consequences?

Federal prosecutors, because they don't have to

Maybe not the best lead for a civil rights project the government will openly attack!

Tally so far for such incidents under Lightfoot

So far, Chicago taxpayers have paid approximately $11.9 million to settle and defend lawsuits sparked by the conduct of CPD officers during protests demanding a racial reckoning swept the city and erupted into unrest, according to a WTTW News analysis.
The Chicago City Council should agree to pay $875,000 to resolve a lawsuit filed by 25 Chicagoans who each say they were brutalized by city police officers during protests during the summer of 2020 after the police murder of George Floyd, city lawyers say. https://to.wttw.com/4qQ3oNM
