It’s beyond time to tax the rich so regular people can afford to live. Everything costs more so it’s imperative to tax the ultra wealthy instead of continuing to tax regular people. Pass Mayor Johnson’s Protecting Chicago Budget. Call & email your Alder asking them to support it

In Chicago we have a chance to tax the 1.5% of our most wealthy businesses so we don’t have to raise taxes on all of us, regular Chicagoans. Some Alders don’t care & want to raise your taxes. Contact your Alder & tell them to vote yes to Mayor Johnson’s Protecting Chicago budget!

Always remember that when this crew opposes something— it’s actually good for Chicagoans

In Chicago we have a chance to tax corporations just a little bit more so we, regular Chicagoans, can all benefit. Trickle down doesn’t work. Tax those who can afford it. Yes to Mayor Johnson’s budget. Protect Chicago. #budget #chicago #mayorjohnson

Shout out to my beard trim place Bespoke for having these signs on their doors. ICE isn’t welcome in Chicago

Since Sept. I count 5 documented times in Chicago in which the “official” story first put out by ICE has been a blatant lie. Am I missing any? ICE has lied about being shot at and attacked and not using tear gas (multiple times) and not using force. #AbolishICE (sources provided)

This is just so sick that this is an actual US Government run account

Just a reminder that if Palos Paul Vallas, Susana Mendoza, Ray Lopez, the Illinois Policy Institute, and the Morning Answer all oppose something—like Mayor Johnson’s proposed budget—that it will actually be good for Chicago. #TrumpProofChicago

For years Chicago has deserved a leader like Mayor Brandon Johnson. Daily he stands up to Trump’s threats. Our Mayor looks out for workers and regular Chicagoans. He wants to tax the ultra wealthy a little more (they can afford it) and not regular people. This is the Mayor we have deserved.

Absolute propaganda from the DHS Twitter account

Absolute propaganda from the DHS Twitter account
The Department of Homeland Security’s Twitter feed is absolute propaganda. After ICE leader Greg Bovino was ordered by a federal judge to not harass children on Halloween the DHS Twitter feed claimed they “wouldn’t back down to anarchy in Chicago”…
ICE makes Chicago unsafe.

Real public safety comes from investing in people and communities NOT in troops, over policing and criminalization. Chicago was proof this model was working before Trump unleashed his troops of terror on our city. (image via @aclu.org)

Teaching is no longer just about teaching our students, it’s about keeping them safe from Federal Agents & ICE. We have to create safety plans with students/families to keep the children we teach safe from masked men being sent to Chicago unwanted by Trump. This is not normal.

Mary Ann Ahern not doing reporting just trying to create drama by retweeting a proudly anti-union, anti-public education person who hates Stacy and Randi.

I’ve read a few articles about @ctulocal1.bsky.social Pres. Stacy Davis Gates becoming Pres. of the @iftaft.bsky.social and every article plays into the racist angry Black woman tropes when talking about Stacy. Limited attempts to humanize her. This is a labor town after all-we should do better.

Our Federal Government is attacking our students & families in Chicago. Educators are not only doing all the requirements of teaching we are also creating safety plans with the community to keep our students safe from harassment and harm. None of this is normal. #AbolishICE

I’ve been thinking about why Trump is so obsessed with Chicago—then remembered it all started in 2016 when we shut his rally down.
