High stakes for Mayor Brandon Johnson’s progressive agenda in head tax push Having already failed to deliver other key tenets of his ambitious tax-the-rich wish list, the head tax is a watershed moment for Mayor Brandon Johnson and his allies.

Reject this framing from the Trib: “Most new taxes would need Springfield approval, but the mayor’s frosty relationship w/ Pritzker thus far makes that prospect slim.”

If Pritzker wanted to redistribute wealth, Brandon Johnson would not be able to stop him.

Many unhoused Chicagoans uncounted among the disappeared - Chicago Reader The Latino Union of Chicago, via its Adopt a Corner initiative, organizes patrols to watch for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents at intersections and landmarks wh...

new: at least 26 unhoused chicagoans have been abducted since the start of "operation midway blitz."

the full scope of people disappeared is likely much larger but is obscured by heavy criminalization, social stigma, and fewer eyes and phones around to bear witness.

LoL almost like the state could fund and run grocery stores without a problem. And provide vital nutrition and good paying jobs to areas that lack these things...
Almost as if "the free market" is just a lie to keep people desperate, poor and starving...

Hyde Park Produce has the best price on hibiscus and the local market on 71st isn’t bad either. There’s a Caribbean market on broadway and foster that I think has the allspice berries.

Eggs, cinnamon, chicken, pork. See recent food recalls you should know about. Eggs, chicken, pork jerky and other foods have been recalled in recent months. Here are recalls you should know about.

There's so much being recalled and there's no newsletter coming out due to the shutdown.

Check this and see if you have any of these in your kitchen. If so, throw them out or see if you can get a refund if you can.

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

We just had a basic sex talk with our 10 yr old because he had questions. I think it went well but I guess only time will tell

The only thing that stuck out to me was him saying he didn’t want to be gay so he wouldn’t be judged. His peers judge the gays. Then I reminded him his parents are gay.
