Republicans have not released a federal budget plan. They've released a snapshot of the current federal budget with a pledge to cut it but they have not said what they would cut. That's not a plan. A plan is a series of proposed actions to arrive at a desired outcome.
Chicago is not alone among Rust Belt cities in this respect. There is evidence that many Rust Belt cities, from Pittsburgh to the Twin Cities, are turning things around. Not by doing it hurriedly, but (for the most part) doing it carefully. 23/25
I live in Chicago. Guns aren’t originating in Chicago. They’re being sold in Indiana and then traveling here. Also,there was a gun running ring that was bringing guns from a Louisiana army base to here that was busted up. So as long as other states have relaxed gun laws we suffer
What’s wild about tik tok is sometimes you’re scrolling and you come across an art form you never knew existed. Have you heard of transforming pencils? Over 20 million (!!) people have watched this 2 min, 53 second transformation tiktok.com/t/ZTRwwDT32/
Question: Would the people who think everyone should carry a gun support every nation having nukes? After all, an armed society is a polite society.
Thinking a lot today about Kitty Genovese, a lesbian from Brooklyn, whose brutal and senseless murder by a stranger was twisted and exploited to push a racist, anti-urbanist, and factually-incorrect narrative that has shaped the last 50+ years of American history. ❤️🧡🤍💜
I love living somewhere where my 10yo can just not come home after school, and I don’t have to worry about him, because I know he’s inevitably on the schoolyard playing soccer, and he’ll walk himself home by supper.
A German artist who is preparing to lay the 100,000th cobblestone commemorating a person deported and killed by the Nazis, has no intention of giving up making the brass-capped blocks reut.rs/3AZu9rd
I don’t understand ppl who equate immigration with Latinos - there are many Latinos where I live but also immigrants from every place you can imagine - Germany, Ethiopia, Haiti, Guyana, Jamaica, Turkey, Ukraine, Nigeria, Italy, Ireland, for just a few. I never make assumptions.
The more money my household makes, the less fair this system feels.
10: “Mom, I love you. When we have a fight you just talk it through. I really like that. Other moms just give their kids a punishment right away - all of my friends, almost all of them, they get hit with a belt. But you don’t do that at all. Thank you for that.” Child is TEN. 😭
Can’t believe in a just world where this woman got to have a full life with a family and die of old age, after having an innocent boy killed, and she got to live out those days relatively quietly where bigots are still defacing Emmett Till memorials till this day.
Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago, has died. She was 88. wjtv.com/news/state/wom…

This is a great illustration of arrogant ignorance. They don't know what they hell they are talking about but are supremely confident anyway. Only unserious folks don't know about the exhaustive time, energy and effort black people spend on this topic outside of police shootings.
"Like Chicago: Most of the shootings are young black men killing other young black men. Is that not correct?" [Yeah] "Much more than what the cops do. Why doesn't anyone talk about that? Why aren't there 100 giant black celebrities saying 'What are you doing to yourselves?"
