The quiet shift no one is tracking: A year ago, defending free speech on X got you called a chaos agent. Now the same journalists demanding moderation are running their scoops on the platform first, because that's where the audience went. The market voted. The narrative is catching up second.

🚨 Chicago Schools Drop Reading for Protesting In a jaw-dropping move, Mayor Brandon Johnson announced Chicago Public Schools will stop “wasting time” trying to teach kids how to read. Instead, the district is spending taxpayer money to bus functionally illiterate students straight to liberal protests. “These kids don’t need phonics — they need praxis!” Johnson said, smiling beside Chicago Teachers Union officials. The stats are brutal: Only ~40% of Chicago students in grades 3–8 read at grade level. But no problem — they’ve got buses, lunches, and full credit for the big May Day rally at Union Park. Kids will get attendance points for holding signs they literally can’t read. Over 100 schools are participating in this “Day of Civic Action,” complete with morning “civic engagement” lessons before the 1 p.m. chants against billionaires, Trump, and whatever’s trending on TikTok. Sources say the mayor is already working on the new curriculum: “See Spot Protest Systemic Oppression.” This is what passes for education leadership in Chicago. Clown world. 🤡
