It's not being acknowledged because it's not the MF point right now. Your reporting and your focus is irresponsible and is helping usher in a military state for this ENTIRE nation, not just urban areas "with crime."
What some Democrats refuse to acknowledge is that violent crime in Chicago remains a serious problem, particularly in certain neighborhoods, Michael Powell reports:
Crime in Chicago Is a Choice
The problem with minimizing the city’s violence

More than 700 SEIU health care workers at Butler Hospital won a new union contract through standing together and fighting back against the greed of our broken health care system.

Unions raise wages, protect health benefits and improve patient care.

People need shelter. Period. This level of greed doesn't belong in the housing and rental market.
Greystar was using rent-setting algorithms from software company RealPage, the subject of a 2022 ProPublica investigation that showed the firm was helping landlords decide prices in a way that legal experts said could result in cartel-like behavior.

Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them. It’s up to all of us to vote for leaders in every election who will make our healthcare system better, not undermine it. Call your member of Congress and hold them accountable.
Republicans are quietly rolling back Obamacare. Here’s how | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are no longer promising to repeal Obamacare, but that doesn’t mean they have given up efforts to take down the landmark health reform law.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value.

There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
