NEXT WEDNESDAY: JOIN ULW CHICAGO AS WE PRACTICE SOME PICKETING FOR A FAIR CONTRACT

Me ranting about Chicago:

Finally read the Uri Berliner piece on NPR biasand I'm baffled by how little the enormous media controversy it spawned has resulted in scrutiny of its claims for factual accuracy. There are significant problems with the piece including obvious, verifiable falsehoods

anyone recall hearing about this before today?

“[Cook County Clerk] Karen [Yarbourgh] took on the big issues: Poverty, ending the death penalty, banning indoor smoking all across Illinois…

you guys hear me say ‘winners do the work’ - she was a winner.”

30K+ Palestinian civilians, half of them being children, have been killed in this conflict

>1.1 million more have endured a 7 month famine

Newt Gingrich on the empty house floor ranting

After years of posting bond and fighting for pretrial freedom, Chicago Community Bond Fund is transitioning to a new phase. As we shared in February, we are no longer posting bond due to the historic implementation of the Pretrial Fairness Act. 🧵

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on her decision to contribute to the @DCCC for the first time, as first reported by the NYTimes:

Police involved in Dexter Reed's death are being investigated for their conduct in other stops.

Less a month before, a person alleged police 'ran up to him,' threatened to 'beat my ass' and searched his car without reason, according to COPA records.

Wonder if there's going to be a call for Silverstein to lose her Committee Chair for refusing a meeting with the Mayor because she's more interested in representing the interests of a foreign government than actually doing her job 🤔

At a presser today, Supt Snelling said that the traffic stop narrative concerning Dexter Reed is premature, but the Tactical Reports signed by the involved CPD officers say it was a traffic stop. He told the press to ask deeper questions. So...are the police lying?
