The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson asks if we are ready to crush authoritarianism

He is calling for a general strike and the crowd is going crazy

"Are you ready to take it to the courts and to the streets?"

"We will defend our democracy...we will tear down tyranny!"

Letter to the Editor:

After 55 years of watching capitalist wealth in Chicago balloon while kids in poor Chicago neighborhoods continue to be shortchanged, I can only say: “We need some socialism here, and we need it badly.”

Letters: After seeing the wealthy get wealthier, I think Chicago could use some socialism

The wealth gap has grown, and disinvestment in poor areas remains the same.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds.

New piece:

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.

As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?
