Chicago’s new elected officials can unite the city by putting people in the driver’s seat for mapping. chicagotribune.com/opinion/commen…

This is a nice illustration of how Callais is being misread. Just where, pray tell, did it make race-conscious redistricting unconstitutional? Callais changed the *statutory* standard for Section 2 claims. But it didn't change the existing doctrine of racial gerrymandering.

@MaxWiIkins Reduced to a substitute isn't accurate. He took the starting spot from Watkins. Only took him a few matches to get a red card. Players staying takes the player wanting to be there. He never wanted to stay. It was just going to get worse. And what has his done since leaving?

Caused a bit of a stir this 🇨🇴🟣🔵 Not disputing the fact that he was a regular nuisance off the pitch and we sold him for a HEALTHY fee that has proven to be amazing value But I stand by the fact #avfc had arguably the best striker prospect in the world at the time, reduced him to being a substitute almost every week and sold him when he was one of our best players (again… for an amazing fee) I also stand by the fact that he was unbelievable in that last season and was one of the most exciting and impactful players I’ve ever seen at Villa Get why people don’t like him from an attitude point of view but in terms of a spectacle and raw ability he was unreal at times If you don’t remember how good and exciting he was I can only feel sorry for you unfortunately

I told you. 😂

@FabrizioRomano @AlasdairGold I wonder how many have relegation clauses in their contracts?

🚨⚠️ Igor Tudor: “Cuti Romero and Palhinha are out. Micky van de Ven is out. Bissouma has a problem and Conor has a fever but we hope he will be ok”. “Always something happen. Very rare and I've NEVER seen this in my career”. “But we’ll fight, not cry”, says via @AlasdairGold.

@jmcginn7 @AVFCOfficial Has no one told McGinn about the new merch drops while he's been away? That track suit is so December. Need to jump to the purple gear my guy.

👋🏻 it’s been a while

@FabrizioRomano Maybe he can fulfill his dreams of blowing bubbles with the hammers now.

🚨🇨🇴 Several European clubs have been showing interest in Jhon Duran over recent days as potential last minute deal. Decision depends on Fenerbahçe and Duran but clubs keen and already making inquiries this week. 🎥 youtu.be/G3xTO0at2e8

@Alex_Berwick The only downside for them is that they have a lot of egos looking for game time and little to give.

With basically one game a week from now on, no reason United shouldn’t play like that all season.

@FabrizioRomano @OfficialFPL should give everyone an extra transfer given we have to keep shedding City players as they suck up all the top talent in the league. First Semenyo, now Guéhi.

🚨💣 BREAKING: Marc Guehi to Manchester City, HERE WE GO! 💙 Official proposal accepted by Crystal Palace right now — understand fee will be around £20m. Guehi has ACCEPTED move to #MCFC. Exclusive story, now confirmed. 🧨

@Alex_Berwick @AVFCTranstweet They offered an upfront permanent deal. Likely offered way better personal terms since Villa's wage/turnover ratio is so tight.

@AVFCTranstweet Don’t think he has he? Spurs just offered Atletico a much better deal.

Second time Gallagher has turned down #AVFC

@myoldmansaid To be fair that 5-0 loss, was after Villa already qualified for Champions League. So, if you take that out of the equation, we are 2-1-2 under Emery. Not too bad. At the very least, put a huge asterisk next to that one.

@johntownley11 The one goal man u did manage was from a horrible error at the edge of the box. That was, by no means, Villa's best performance but we created some good chances other than the two we scored.

Ruben Amorim: "I think we were the better team today. We created chances and we have been consistent in this. We defended well. We left one against one. We played well, but the frustration is still there." #AVFC

"People are struggling, so stop bothering me about allegations of breaking campaign finance laws" is one helluva way to start pleading your innocence. chicagotribune.com/2025/07/08/opi…

@FPLVillan @theavfcfaithful He could play on the right over Bailey.

@theavfcfaithful He would have started Cardiff but was ill. Then ineligible midweek. Watkins deserves to start over him.

Honestly why did we sign Malen if we’re just not gonna play him

@myoldmansaid There's no reason to start Bailey with that bench. No idea why Emery keeps him in the starting team.

👀 Thoughts? #AVFC

The loss of FiveThirtyEight and the US Census Advisory Committee are major setbacks in the movement for fair districts.

@J_Tanswell Taylor let New Castle be aggressive and Villa couldn't go shoulder to shoulder on the ball without a foul. Easy to win matches when your opponents can't match your physicality because of bad calls.

Emery is angered by Anthony Taylor's low threshold for fouls. 11 in the first 28 minutes. Cash concedes another free-kick on the edge of the box and needs to be careful, given he's on a yellow. #AVFC

Pretty confident the People's Map addresses most, if not all, of the concerns raised by the people in this article. That's what happens when you have a map that is drawn by Chicagoans for Chicagoans.
