Reminder that Jewish scripture supports the right to an abortion and today’s Supreme Court decision is in direct violation of our freedom of religion.

I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?" She instantly replied "yes." Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.

"Student-based" budgeting has led to the decimation of CPS libraries. Once you take out the librarian, the library is defunct. It makes my heart ache to think that the library I spent nine years building could go unused because of reckless spending and racist funding formulas.

Just attended a teacher institute where i met educators from red and blue states. The 17 year veteran from Arkansas was earning less than the 3 year teacher from Montgomery County Maryland. Unions matter.

CTU NEWS: Mayor Lori Lightfoot is firing two activists and George Washington HS teachers for their participation in protests against General Iron’s proposed move to Southeast Side. Her handpicked Board of Ed votes tomorrow. It's a move straight out of the Ron DeSantis playbook.

Two mothers come to the Board of Education meeting to speak against the new $120 million South Loop High School. "Instead of building a high school, invest in schools that are already there. Do not lie to us. This school is not for us."

Recent graduate of Washington HS says the two teachers being fired are some of the best teachers she has had. She is going to Northwestern on a full ride. "IF the board of ed cares about youth, they will not fire teachers who have done nothing but care for us."

Y’all, I’ve been quiet about Chuy’s campaign up til now, out of respect for the man, our friendship, his career. But endorsing this Mell-backed FOP hack over the most loving, caring, fearless progressive champ in City Council — that ain’t it. Rossana Rodriguez 🌹🇵🇷✊🏽🏳️‍🌈. Brandon Johnson.

We know deep down in Lori Lightfoot heart, she knows that #BrandonIsBetter & yet she hasn’t endorsed him. .Mayor Brandon Johnson you were right to call out Vallas for being racist. You also said Black voters should get behind you. Now that you’re gone shouldn’t you get behind Brandon?

THIS IS BIG: The board is considering policy change to have briefings of the Board in PUBLIC, rather than in private. Why is this big? Because so often it feels like all real questions from board members are asked behind closed doors and the whole board meeting is theater.
