Yesterday, Howard Brown Health Workers United reached a Tentative Agreement on our first contract!! (1/6)

100% guarantee these 'zones' will end up frustrating residents, impeding rightful protest (as much as police may claim otherwise), and giving CPD as well as federal law enforcement carte blanche to establish 'papers please' checkpoints.

The ADL is completely discredited.

Its change in methodology—counting any march w/ “from the river to the sea” as antisemitism—makes it *much, much harder* to see how actual antisemitism has changed.

Its muddling of data endangers a once-useful survey of real Jew hatred.

I wish journalists existed so someone would be interesting in fact checking the claims that 'People can’t go to grocery store without getting mugged... or sell their tamales out on the street without getting accosted by people who are armed.”

Journalism isn't Stenography

Kinda hard to see outrage from way out where Paul lives. GoodKidsMadCity and many others just participated in a vigil honoring Ariana’s life🕊️

Why does Paul, failed mayoral candidate, keep pitting mass shootings against police shootings by saying “no outrage”?

There is always outrage.

Seemingly for the first time, the ADL has logged rallies as an antisemitic incident simply if a chant like 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is heard. Here's one block of nearly 20 'antisemitic incidents' in their data, all from one afternoon in December.

BREAKING: The writers of Sesame Street have authorized a strike — unanimously.

The 35 writers, unionized with the WGA, could start picketing outside the Sesame workshop offices in NYC as soon as April 24th.

That’s two! How many more alders are down to call for a new CTA Board President?

Spain, Ireland, Norway, Malta and Slovenia to recognise Palestine statehood this month.

The funny thing (not) about the Pride Parade “shrinking” in terms of entries is this: A lot of politicians and their crews just mush all together. There is a lot of combining of groups (there is no cap on number of people in your group--at least there never has been). ...

People were crowing about the loss of Griffin’s philanthropic money for negative-polarization reasons—and that was silly.

But fundamentally what happened is: the man performed one last Hail Mary to purchase the governorship for a Republican, found that Republicans are way too…

The comments and QTs here make me wonder how many US Catholics are aware that a lot of conservative Protestants/Evangelicals don't see them as Christian. And it makes me wonder if knowing that might make Catholics less willing to align themselves with Evangelicals politically.

This Fox News list of 'America's Top Christian Colleges and Universities' is fascinating for many reasons, but maybe especially for the fact that it erases Catholicism from Christianity. i.e., schools like Georgetown and Notre Dame aren't mentioned at all.

The U.S. should let Israel face the consequences of its deliberately provocative and illegal actions alone. We should not spend billions and get involved in another war to defend a rogue and genocidal apartheid state. This should not be a controversial position.

If you can’t make money selling milk for $12 a gallon you have what’s called a you problem.

Oh, so Israel's war cabinet is working from a ...tunnel system....underneath....important buildings....

Furthermore by refusing to meet w/or attend the mayor’s roundtable on antisemitism, Silverstein finds herself allied w the suburban far right to undermine Johnson, not progressive Chicagoans.

It is Silverstein who endangers the Jewish community, not Johnson.

The majority of Jewish Americans support a ceasefire in Gaza. It is Ald. Silverstein, not mayor Johnson, who is out of step w American Jews. 1/2
