Civil rights icon Andrew Young was moved to TEARS reflecting on Keisha Lance Bottoms’ historic election as the nation's first Black woman governor! He said the victory belongs to the women who risked their lives marching for equality. Their sacrifices paved the way for HISTORY!

"We will focus on student learning, starting with reading and math in the earliest grades, because a child who reads well by 3rd grade has a path that a struggling reader often never finds."
Chicago school board president-elect Jessica Biggs on the board she plans to lead
I got Biggs, Peralta, Deberry, Norma RS, Ellen R, Angel G, Preston, Boyle, Rhymefest, Yesenia, and jury is still out on Rivas. 10 and a possible.
There's been a lot of reporting on how CTU fared last night and very little reporting on how @SEIULocal73 @Driver4Change did. I've been guilty of this.
SEIU won 7 (including Biggs) and lost 5, with one (Rivas) too close to call.
1/2

Democrats flip the House and Senate! People understood the assignment. Now Democrats need to get to work and stop capitulating to Trump/MAGA or playing footsie with them.
Let the beat build Biggs!

#PACservations: CTU drops another $350,000 into Hilario Dominguez's campaign.
#PACservations: @CTULocal1 contributes $300,000 to Hilario Dominguez campaign for CPS school board president.
This is, thus far, the largest contribution CTU made to Hilario's campaign. Up until now, it's been mostly in-kind contributions for Hilario's campaign expenses.

Replying to @ChicagoMPO
It sounds like you're saying the IDES count is too high a denominator, because it's counting jobs, not workers, and includes part-time as well. But wouldn't that mean that the tax applies to a far *higher* percentage of total full-time workers in Chicago? Which seems bad?

Good piece by @yancyforthe5th.
This highlights how Mayor Johnson has often governed by subtraction rather than addition, relying on divisive rhetoric instead of building coalitions.
We need to collaborate if we’re going to improve the myriad of problems our city faces!

Monday am is first deadline for petitions for #ChiMayor27 and other city offices. Mayor candidates need 12,500 signatures from registered voters.
Look for @Giannoulias to have nearly 60K signatures. Some may need more time and have one more week to get those signatures.
