idk Jacob maybe it’s not a good idea to call work groups “SWAT” teams in a city with one of the more deadly police forces in the country.
Mayor Frey responds to Emily Koski making fun of him for his "land of 10,000 work groups." Frey won't call them work groups anymore — they're now "SWAT teams."

If you don’t like fees and sales taxes, vote for a progressive income tax.
Pricier checkout bags, rideshares, streaming.
Here are the fee and tax hikes in Chicago’s 2025 budget:

Mayor Brandon Johnson's 2025 spending plan avoided a property tax hike, but Chicagoans will still see an increase in numerous fees and taxes that impact their daily lives.

Today Emperor #ElonMusk and his sidekick #DonaldTrump have put the lives of MILLIONS of Americans in jeopardy during the season of our Lord and savior’s birth. Instead of forcing a #GovernmentShutdown to benefit Billionaires #Congress should be working to help everyday working People.

It’s really sad such a beautiful a city like New Orleans has to be saddled with a slave-owner, know-nothing government.
Louisiana is forbidding public health workers from promoting COVID, flu, and Mpox vaccines, NPR reports.

One could argue that part of the reason we have the New Deal is because progressives during the Great Depression acknowledged how horrible homeless encampments were, blamed their existence on the opposition, and promised to do away with them and the poverty that causes them.

going to speak my truth here and say that it is not fascist to not want vacant residential lots used for hard drug use and large unsafe fires
"If you are a Democrat who yells about being part of the resistance, but you think it's okay to clear out homeless encampments and strip people of their civil rights merely for not having a fixed abode, then guess what? You are a foot soldier of fascism. Seriously, that's all I have to say."
