Stacey Davis Gates’ new role as president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers riles some critics who say that CTU’s approach to advocacy and politics could alienate members downstate. She addressed some of those concerns Thursday on "Chicago Tonight."

There's record homelessness in our city. Food insecurity is a reality for working folks. Farmers across America are teetering bankruptcy. Fudge all that; we have money for Argentina! What happened to 'Merica first?

On Friday, the Tribune Editorial Board raised concerns about Ald. Quinn's decoy ADU ordinance, which includes a provision requiring contractors building ADUs to participate in apprenticeship programs.

Editorial: Keep union politics out of solving Chicago’s housing crisis
The city shouldn’t tell homeowners whom to hire to build a coach house.

Call your alderman. Tell them to pass the accessory dwelling unit ordinance 9/25/25. This will create more affordable housing in Chicago at a time when folks are getting priced out of the city. Many families need affordable housing. Let's make it happen. #housing #Chicago #Accessorydwellingunit

This, unfortunately, will be the one of many forms of political violence & intimidation to come. More than ever, we need community. We need folks to not only create "good trouble" but also those who are willing to be the helpers Mr. Rogers often encouraged others to seek. How will you help others?

For real, for real question: has anyone considered the hyper militarization of ICE raids in Chicago as a testing ground for ethnic cleansing? We are really targeting Latinos in the area & deporting them; this includes those with green cards #chicago #ICE #immigration

I only wish this could be our society (Sighs in American Fatigue)....
Today my 13 year old and two friends spontaneously traveled by train 40 kilometers to a town with a comic store they wanted to visit. They even switched trains on the way. I love that this is something a kid kan do safely and independently.
A parenting win.

Unfortunately, a lot of folks did not care...
I realize it's been 5 years but how is it no one remembers the early days of the covid pandemic and how scared we were? I was waiting for medical doctors and epidemiologists to do their thing and save us. I welcomed the vaccine after I almost died. Does no one remember how bad it was?!

I grew up in Tampa. Even then, I remember hearing whispers of how bigoted this man was. I send my prayers to his family for peace. I hope Hogan's ideals die with him. #hulkhogan #wwe

@nytimes.com is this true? Did you guy's really let a race baiter ghost write a feature article with hacked info?
Here’s the @nytimes defending the hit piece on Zohran with hacked material from an anonymous source that turned out to be a well-known “race scientist” 🤔 - (which they updated, sort of)

It amounted to nothing anyway. Also a Snowden comp? Really?

1. In the wake of Trump threats, multiple trans clinics in safe states have stopped providing care.

Parents feel abandoned as governors apply no pressure.

One therapist reported an uptick in suicidal ideation among those denied care.

The latest from S. Baum.
