Gee……we never saw this coming.
Now Latino schools hit “especially hard” by CPS budget cuts.
@SSKedreporter just regurgitated exactly what Stacy Davis Gates told her.

Latino high schools hit especially hard by teacher cuts in CPS budget heading for vote
A WBEZ analysis shows high schools that enroll mostly Latino students are losing 7% of their classroom teachers, the most pronounced loss under Chicago Public Schools’ proposed budget. The school…
CTU President SDG celebrates Jitu Brown’s 30-day hunger strike as the blueprint for getting a school what it needs. “Before and after” of what Brown might have looked like if he starved himself for 30 days. Was the hunger strike 24 hours a day or just during business hours?
Ahead of @Giannoulias‘ expected announcement for mayor, Jack Lucey reminds us of Alexi’s baggage train of ethical scandals and explains why the SoS is unqualified to serve as Chicago’s mayor.

Alexi Giannoulias: Wrong for Chicago | Chicago Contrarian
Giannoulias failed as Treasurer and Secretary of State. If elected mayor, he will be a disaster for Chicago.
RT @trussell2026: There was too much money being poured into COVID. Ripe for fraud.
COVID dollars helped JB Pritzker, big time.

Here’s the difference between the right and the left.
People on the right despise Fauci. He ruined lives. He caused people to get fired. He caused members of the military to be discharged. He caused permanent learning and earning loss for students denied in-school learning. He had loved ones die in hospital beds surrounded by strangers. He shut down businesses and churches. He destroyed the reputations of doctors and other professionals who disputed his many statements about the need for and the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. His gain of function research helped create the pandemic—and he tried to blame a “wet market.” He knowingly lied about the availability and effectiveness of treatments. He enriched himself by applying for and receiving cash government payments during the pandemic. His diaries reveal how he blatantly, knowingly and intentionally lied to the public.
The difference between right and left is that people on the right won’t send anyone out to shoot him.
Last week, a session of the City Council saw the mayor and aldermen wrangle over ballot measures.
Our Warner Todd Huston asks if these ballot questions outweigh other matters needing urgent attention.

Chicago City Council Wasting Time with Ballot Measures | Chicago Contrarian
Is debating a millionaires tax or ICE a top priority at the moment?
It is said “love is blind,” but good golly this insane.
Is @the12thward joined in marriage to a man convicted of a 1998 gang murder in Little Village?
If so, the Victor Ramos pictured on the left has not been discharged from the custody of the state and is currently on work release.
This means he is still in the slammer.
Also “if so,” did Mr. Ramos accompany Ald. Ramirez on any foreign trip?
And another “if so” to consider: Did Ald. Ramirez and her inmate hubby accept any gift cards for the July 2025 nuptials? Accepting gift cards is an ethics violation.
Only in Chicago…..
Today, @ChicagosMayor signed another worthless EO, this one on gun violence.
When asked about measuring the efficacy of violence interrupters (CVIs), Johnson replied CVIs were so effective, they deserved a raise.
Johnson then said millionaires should be taxed to provide CVI’s wage boost.
Unsurprisingly, Johnson’s false claim about CVIs was met with a round of applause by his gullible supporters.
If CVIs are so useful, why have they failed to halt a single mass shooting in Chicago in 2026?
Illinois’ 1st Congressional District does not need rulers.
We need a representative.
For too long, political families, insiders, and machine-backed leaders have treated this district like a seat to inherit instead of a community to serve.
And what has that produced?
Pharmacy closures.
Food access challenges.
Rising property taxes.
Unsafe neighborhoods.
Struggling schools.
Small businesses under pressure.
Seniors left behind.
Families feeling ignored.
District priorities pushed to the floor.
CD1 deserves more than a name.
CD1 deserves more than entitlement.
CD1 deserves more than symbolic leadership that shows up for photo ops but not results.
This district is not a throne.
It is home to working families, parents, seniors, veterans, business owners, students, and communities that deserve to be fought for every single day.
Leadership should be earned through service, accountability, courage, and results, not inherited through political connections.
The decline we are seeing did not happen by accident.
It happened because leaders got too comfortable, too protected, and too disconnected from the people they were elected to serve.
That era has to end.
It is time for leadership of the people, by the people, and for the people.
