@Brandon4Chicago @onefairwage @UWFIllinois Jokes on you man these employees make more off tips and half these restaurants will be forced to close bc of this

I’m committed to making sure the people that run this city can afford to live in it. We are not going to roll back hard-earned raises from tipped workers, who are overwhelmingly Black and Brown women.

@ProphetOfEndor @ItsMattsLaw Facts section of MSJ briefing it is amazing at tbh. Even if just for helping with outlining an ideal way to weave the record together with different sources offering different things.

@ItsMattsLaw Briefing in litigation. An AI motion for summary judgment would be terrible.

Some observations about AI use in a legal context: 1) Litigation. I’ve mentioned it in this thread, but I’ve been seeing AI generated demand letters and complaints for a few years now. If done well, it’s given the appearance of attorney backing (which

@RyanLSack @KILLTOPARTY Yeah abbey was definitely a little higher capacity than he was. You could see in the last episode of this season that she was kind of sick of his shit when she saw Madison with Tyler.

@KILLTOPARTY They weren’t intellectually on the same level. It’s just the truth.

Parents couldn’t hash out a contract is 100% why. No way these two make their own decisions.

@MorosKostas These are very important questions for those of us that practice federally

Well that ends the debate on deaths in Gaza. Hamas itself is admitting that 80% of casualties were combatants. There was never a genocide. You have been lied to and manipulated.

Apparently Mayor Brandon Johnson is working hard to outdo Zohran Mamdani as the most antisemitic mayor in the country. I’ve been cautious for over two years, but I’ve now seen enough evidence.

It really does feel like Chicago politicians sympathize more with criminals than victims of crime. I don't get it. Who cares if she "startled" this guy who was illegally carrying a gun? Loyola Beach is a gun free zone after all!

.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory. But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025? That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice. She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her. You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly. And beyond that—you have never even responded to me. I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position. You never replied. And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day. Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen. This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability. When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message. Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way. So I am asking you directly: Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend? Say her name: Katie Abraham. Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.

Democrats have nothing to run on except "We Will Persecute Everyone Who Disagrees With Us." This is literally Communist Party stuff.

PSA to Jews in America: Buy a gun. Learn how to shoot a gun. Make sure you have ample ammo. Keep your head on a swivel. Yes, this is what being a Jew looks like in today's world. Adapt or die.

Honestly the best feature of iPhones is when the alarm like doesn’t fucking make a sound. Very useful.

They called you Hitler for saying this for the past 4 years

CHICAGOANS! Whether transplants or born-and-raised, we have to stop coping with the lakefront/riverwalk-posting and face reality. Chicago is in trouble. YoY, things are getting worse: its financial sector is falling behind Dallas, population is stagnant while the national population grows, and public spending, debt and taxes are ballooning w/o services improving. Chicago needs to be allowed to file bankruptcy to wipe out bad debt and unsustainable pension obligations and recover while its local economy is still robust and intact, before it’s too late and it enters a death spiral. Chicago has great assets, but we need a financial fresh start, there’s no shame in bankruptcy. We also have to stop electing incompetent, insecure, provincial weirdos to manage a global city; that’s never going to work. If local problems weren’t enough, the unaccomplished trust fund baby Governor is actively selling out city finances for union support in pursuit of pie-in-the-sky dreams of becoming POTUS. The Bay Area has already surpassed Chicago economically, it is in fact “America’s Third City” and Dallas isn’t far behind (-15%). Wake up, Chicago—it’s not 2008 anymore!

Oregon in the current year: Tren de Aragua members abduct woman and torture her with a power drill to steal her debit card info, turn out to be living in a drug den that is listed as a “drug rehab facility” receiving $2.3 million/year in Oregon Medicaid funds. Owners have likely stolen more than $60 million by laundering it through Rwanda. The only local journalist covering the story says state officials are told directly about this and simply don’t care. Modern blue state America is basically a foreign looting operation.

@JennyGooz @AJCGlobal @ihmec @AldermanTabares @50thWardChicago @EladStr Jenny what are you going to do next now that Rise Chicago is done? Plz run for something or work with Mendoza.

Heart is full. Thank you to @AJCGlobal and @ihmec for a powerful evening of Latino and Jewish community leaders coming together to learn more and build meaningful connections. Together, we explored ways to support one another and stand united against hate.

@dissidentwest The trick is to make them ask for it - by cutting funding

Pack it up boys, it's over. All it took was a few Marxist cry bullies to completely halt the political agenda that 72 million people voted for. We're not allowed to have a country because a few liberals pitched a tantrum.

@avidseries @mysteriouskat @PeacyPete Why did he tell you they fled? Arabs largely fled at time of war of independence bc they figured the surrounding countries would kill all the Jews and give the land back to them. Didn’t turn out that way and they weren’t allowed back in. Those who stayed are largely still there
