I just wrote a letter to Byron Sigcho Lopez and other City Officials: NO Pilsen TIF expansion! Write one here: bit.ly/nopilsentif

“The teachers union has always rallied for the immediate expiration of all TIFs and the immediate release of all funds. If that had occurred, I wouldn’t be borrowing for payroll.”

Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration is being evasive about what they turned over to ICE. Late share but great story from Alice Yin chicagotribune.com/2025/06/24/cit…

Thank you to our volunteers and good friends who came out this past Saturday at the garden. We’re back at it this week, come through and get your hands in the soil: 📅 Wednesday from 3 to 6 PM 📅 Saturday from 9 AM to 12 PM 📍66th & Winchester #volunteer #community #garden #chi

SEIU 73 prez Dian Palmer says she was invited to today's briefings after sending this letter. She says during the meeting she stood by these comments and warned against loan. "The rumors of loans, I'm very, very afraid of bc ... it'll come back on the backs of low-wage earners."

“Neighbors who opposed the expansion spent months calling for a decision and asking to see the survey’s results, but it wasn’t until this week that those were made public.” #NoTIF #SomuchforTransparency #25thward

The CPS funding crisis has a clear fix: Dr. King’s Balanced Budget. We don't need a HIGH-interest loan. Loan Today = Layoffs Tomorrow. #PasstheBalancedBudget thetriibe.com/2025/08/perspe…

Another school-board showdown, another alder letter against Johnson’s agenda. This time close ally Byron Sigcho-Lopez signed on, per a copy SEIU is disseminating. He famously chastised his “so-called progressives” 1y ago over pushing back against mayor firing Pedro Martinez/loan

Even close mayoral ally Ald. Sigcho-Lopez, 25th, is signing on to the letter, which calls borrowing “willfully reckless.” It marks a shift for BSL, who just last year blasted fellow progressives for criticizing Johnson over his ousting of former CEO Pedro Martinez. #hipocrita

Today encapsulated our resiliency and our fearlessness. #vivamexico🇲🇽 #pilsen #fiestaspatrias

As many celebrated Mexican Independence Day in Chicago, ICE reportedly arrested a mother & father during a traffic stop in Cicero, leaving their children behind in the vehicle. The children are now with family, according to Berwyn-Cicero Rapid Response Network More to come.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

It’s not a question of whether you agree with Jimmy Kimmel. When someone uses their government position to threaten speech they don't like, that undermines the First Amendment and our entire democracy. Everyone should care about this—no matter what your political view is.

Important nugget of information for revoltosos who love the camera but not the actual public service work.

“I believe we’ve never achieved our full potential in this neighborhood,” Flores said.

when I used to support 25th Ward Alderman, a few of the campaign staff called him in for his abusive behavior, he rebutted with “if this type of talk gets out, then our enemies will weaponize it” he was more concerned with public perception than actually changing his behavior.
