Yes, I'm a real CPS parent. No, I have no connection to CPS or CTU or any local, state or federal government official in any real way.

A Parent of CPS kids
@AcpsParent
I'm a minority parent of elementary aged kids at a CPS school. Not a part of CPS or CTU. I fight gaslighting with data. This is my alt account

@Micky_Horstman @illinoispolicy When did Chicago taxpayers like CTU? They have always been about enriching themselves not a quality education for children.
English
The CTU was a kingmaker, but its endless support for higher taxes coupled with scandals, its latest push to cancel school and recent electoral defeats suggest the mighty has fallen.
Chicago voters’ appetite for the union has shifted — drastically — and politicians have noticed.

@CivokNilam @susanamendoza10 @AJManaseer @StuLoren @cantilloncap @ParentCps ... I realize we won't always be so lucky to have low-indoctrination teachers (especially in HS), but I think (hope) we've been raising our kids right to value education over socialist junk like this.
English
@CivokNilam @susanamendoza10 @AJManaseer @StuLoren @cantilloncap @ParentCps Like anything, there are many good teachers and some bad teachers. That applies to ability to teach as well as desire to indoctrinate. We've been blessed with teachers who are generally able to teach (with exceptions) and have generally low indoctrination tendencies...
English
If you're a CPS parent, please take the time to read this Substack. It's incredibly eye-opening.
Look at what your children are being taught and why.

@inboundike Just talked to my kids today about this. MS, they have Chromebooks all day and use them about half the day. Some app named "Guardian"(?) lets the teacher see what each kid is doing and block it
English
Went on a CPS elementary school tour today for one of the more well-regarded schools in the area and... oh my god, so many goddamn Chromebooks.

This is just the dumbest thing to say here, and yet you say it.
Half of the alders who didn't show are YOUR alders.

When you’re paid by a billionaire, you only have to show when he tells you to.

Show up and Do your job, City Council.
Thank you Jake for calling them out.

Lame once more: Aldermen just failed to make quorum AGAIN — this time for a Chicago Public Schools-focused meeting. Dr. Macquline King — who is expected to be made permanent CPS CEO later today — was ready to answer questions. But aldermen didn’t show up, second time in a row.

Robert Peters barely bested Yukema Brown for 3rd place, a candidate whose webpage listed zero endorsements and no public events since Sept 2025.

We worked hard, organized, and built a big coalition, but we couldn’t compete with the millions of dollars from Trump-aligned super PACs in this race. We may have lost this battle, but we're going to keep fighting until we beat Trump and build a better world that we know is possible. Congratulations, Commissioner Miller, on your victory. I look forward to working with you to fight on behalf of the communities of the 2nd District.

Do you live on Chicago’s north side?
You should vote for Nick Uniejewski to be your state senator. Here’s why:

@PeterKondelis @MaryAnnAhernNBC @RepRobinKelly Oh wow I read it the way you said it in the first half of your tweet
English
@MaryAnnAhernNBC @RepRobinKelly You might want to clarify that you mean she apologized to Kelly rather than that she called for Kelly to apologize, which is how most people who’ve replied in confusion seem to be interpreting your tweet.

New: Rev Jackson’s widow Jacqueline Jackson calls @RepRobinKelly to apologize for endorsement controversy. #ILSenate26

@FrankCalabrese Also, why would they release a voter guide with his picture smooshed like that?
English
Apparently the Juliana Stratton campaign announced that she was endorsed by the late Reverend Jesse Jackson based on this voter guide. According to this guide, late Reverend had picks for Senate, sanitary district, judges, and much more.
Chicago, IL 🇺🇸 English
@paschutz @JulianaStratton The ballot had the Reverend as a smooshed image and she thought it was legitimate?

This is the sample ballot the @JulianaStratton Senate campaign says they received at a Rainbow PUSH event over the weekend - mentioning the official endorsements of the late Rev. Jackson and his son Yusef:

Not a hint of an apology from @JulianaStratton .

The family of Rev. Jesse Jackson is withdrawing an eyebrow-raising posthumous announcement of an endorsement of Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton for U.S. Senate, saying on Monday that his primary choices were not finalized before his death last month. chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2026…

I can’t wait to vote for Juliana Stratton, and Matt Conroy

Turns out she was lying.
Why were you lying, @JulianaStratton @LtGovStratton ?
Juliana Stratton@JulianaStratton
I learned this morning that I received Rev. Jesse Jackson's personal endorsement before he passed. I'm deeply moved and honored to have his trust and support, and I will work day and night to carry on his legacy for the people of Illinois when I get to the United States Senate.

@IsIllinois @paschutz @BrendanCarrFCC Oh my.
Would you say the same thing if Biden's FCC said these words?
No, you would not.
English
@paschutz @BrendanCarrFCC Because he’s the head. We should trust in government right?
Or do you suggest not trusting the authority of government when our guy loses ?

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.
The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.
And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.
The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves.
It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.
When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen.
Time for change!

I was a proud early endorser of @KatAbughazaleh when no one gave her a shot. Now she can win. @MarkRuffalo is right — we must do everything to help her overcome millions in Super PAC funding and send her to Congress.

Mark Ruffalo endorses Kat Abughazaleh for IL-09 "Don't let AIPAC buy our politicians. Vote for Kat. Vote for a politician who will be working for you, not a foreign entity who drags us into wars and cares nothing for the American people"
