A new low for the @Suntimes and @NeilSteinberg.
He owes an apology to the parents of Sheridan Gorman. And the paper should call for his resignation.
They both should be ashamed of themselves.

Neil Steinberg on the "national conversation" and MAGA outrage around the killing of Sheridan Gorman. https://t.co/q76BKplXT1

Make it stop.

This is Travis Wolfe.

He was killed in a car accident caused by an illegal alien.

He was just one day away from turning 12 years old.

Travis is why I support ICE.

@ChicagoContrar1 Make it make sense to the parents of Sheridan Gorman and Katie Abraham. Say their names.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

Thank you for using your voice for good @BillAckman. I’ve met him in Chicago. The anguish is palpable. Even more heartbreaking, it was completely avoidable if we had common sense policies. As a Loyola alumni, I am equally heartbroken over the murder of Sheridan Gorman. Enough.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@GovPritzker you owe this man and his family an apology.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

.@RaymondALopez, thank you for your voice of justice.
This isn’t right.
Make this make sense.
We need accountability from our leaders.

[Walter Hudson @WalterHudson]

Just so we all understand the new rules...

If you get killed while assaulting an ICE agent, you're a martyr.

If you get killed by a street thug, you we're "in the wrong place at the wrong time," because you apparently shouldn't expect to travel your own country freely.

When I was on the Chicago City Council, I proposed a tourism entertainment district on Motor Row. Close proximity to @McCormick_Place, with live music, restaurants. We met at @BuddyGuys. But powers that be rejected. And so it goes in Chicago, the people lose. We need a fighter for the people. Millions of dollars of tax revenue could have been raised. Stop overtaxing residents. Ps. Don’t use ICE as the scapegoat and sole reason for Chicago’s negative perception. I love this city, but we have a lot of housecleaning to do.

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

Four months ago I endorsed @AndrewCuomo because I thought his management experience and government know-how made him the best choice for New Yorkers. I still do. And today, with early voting underway, I wanted to reiterate my support for Andrew Cuomo. Being Mayor of New York City is the second toughest job in America, and the next mayor will face immense challenges. Andrew Cuomo has the experience and toughness to stand up for New Yorkers and get things done. I hope you will join me in supporting him.

We need to have an official remembrance day for Charlie Kirk.

He was born on October 14, 1993.

We need to honor his legacy and have a day just for him. His birthday.

They did it for MLK. They can do it for Charlie.

Please repost if you agree so we can get this done.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Charlie posted this hours before he was shot. He was right, it will never be the same.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

@Austin__Berg Last nail in the coffin?
I used to love this city so.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

@RaymondALopez @ChicagosMayor Thank you Alderman for standing up for common sense. Unfortunately, it’s not that common. Keep fighting the good fight.

[Bob Fioretti @BobFiorettiChi]

I couldn’t have said it better.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

This is what an honor flight looks like. Why don't pictures like this ever trend? We need to flood our social media with respect to our veterans. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Repost if you agree.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

This is sickening.
Yet our elite universities turn a blind eye. Equally sickening.
Silence is not an option if we are to survive as a species.
God help us.

Watch: Wife of Hamas leader, Umm Osama, explains how Palestinian mothers sacrifice their children's souls for Allah (God of Islam), by raising them as suicide bombers to kill Jews and die as martyrs.
During this interview on TV, she challenges Palestinian mothers to hate the Jews more than they love their own children, because that is the only way, according to her, that a Palestinian mother can take a practical part in jihad against Jews for Allah's sake. As you can see in the video (link attached below), she said:
"Women play a great role in raising their children and in encouraging them to wage Jihad for the sake of Allah. This is absolutely the most glorious thing a woman can do. Women play their role and are not inferior to men. When a man goes to wage Jihad, his wife encourages and supports him. She is the one who prepares his equipment, bids him farewell, and welcomes his Jihad [...] She instills in her children the love of Jihad and martyrdom for the sake of Allah. If every mother were to prevent her son from waging Jihad for the sake of Allah, who would wage Jihad? [...] its price is paid with our body remains and our lifeblood [...] Is not Allah's reward precious? Allah's reward is Paradise. Paradise requires from us our blood, our body remains, and our efforts for its sake [...]".

Enough.
#ResignRossanaRodriguez
Local leaders stand up and call for an end to this repeated bigotry.
Any HR department wouldn’t tolerate this behavior.
@ADL @LoriLevin

[Chicago Contrarian @ChicagoContrar1]

We've been critical of this gang-loving, anti-Italian, anti-Semitic pig before, but this is indefensible.

Mayor Johnson: You must call for @RossanaFor33 to resign immediately.

Rossana MUST resign.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

Disgraceful indeed.
What is happening to our city?
Shameful.
🇺🇸
Thank you @AldReilly for speaking up.

[Brendan Reilly @AldReilly]

This is totally unacceptable and a disgraceful act. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have fought under that flag to protect our democracy & our freedoms. They fought for the freedom of expression my colleague makes use of often - for him to desecrate the flag that symbolizes those freedoms is unpatriotic & wrong.

[Austin Berg @Austin__Berg]

MUST WATCH: New footage shows organizers pushing Chicago Public Schools students to vote “yes” on Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $100 million real estate tax hike during a “Parade to the Polls” event held yesterday during school hours.

This is blatant exploitation of public schools for political gain. And a prime example of the city’s new political machine.

The event was organized by the Chicago Teachers Union ahead of the March 19 primary election. And CTU leadership promised district officials, journalists, teachers and parents that it would not be political.

But this footage shows they lied.

Here’s how it all went down ⬇️

CTU is Brandon Johnson’s former employer and largest financial backer. Johnson’s tax increase referendum is on the March 19 primary ballot.

On Monday, CTU Vice President Jackson Potter emailed union members telling them to pull students from class to attend a “Student Power Forum” co-sponsored by Bring Chicago Home. CTU has contributed $400,000 to Bring Chicago Home, which is an advocacy organization created to push Johnson’s tax hike referendum.

@illinoispolicy immediately filed an ethics complaint with the @ChiPubSchools ethics office and @cpsoig.

Per the CPS Code of Ethics, “Employees are permitted to engage in Political Activity on a voluntary basis during non-work hours, vacation, or personal time. Employees are not permitted to engage in Political Activity during any other Board compensated time.”

Political activity is defined as: “Preparing for, organizing, or participating in any political meeting, political rally, political demonstration, or other political event.”

By asking teachers to prepare for and organize students to participate in the Student Power Forum, which was occurring during school hours and organized by a political group pushing Johnson’s tax hike, it was clear the union was asking members to violate the CPS Code of Ethics.

How did the union respond to that complaint?

First, they called the Illinois Policy Institute racist for filing it and said it was an attempt at voter suppression.

Then they told journalists that Bring Chicago Home was not part of the event and any concerns were part of a right-wing conspiracy. (Note: Figures like Dick Simpson, @MediaDervish and @EricZorn were all calling foul on this as well.)

And they told Chicago Public Schools officials that the event would adhere to the district’s ethics policy.

But CTU lied to everyone.

Using public schools to push a political outcome like this is an attack on the legitimacy of the democratic process.

Full stop.

CTU President Stacy Davis Gates, Vice President Jackson Potter and Mayor Brandon Johnson must be held accountable.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

Care to rethink your stance @maddow and @jrpsaki ?
What if this happened to someone in your family? You are part of the problem.
Our country is on a death spiral & you are accelerating our decent.
@MSNBC care to take some action?

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

This is Isauro Garcia Cruz. He's from Mexico and is in our country illegally. He was just arrested in Virginia for kidnapping & child s*x crimes.

He's facing charges of kidnapping & unlawful s*xual conduct with a minor.

Yesterday Jen Psaki and Rachel Maddow mocked Virginia residents for being worried about illegal immigration.

[Nicki Pecori Fioretti @312Nicki]

Why no response after 3 nights of this loud noise? Calls to 311, 911 & alderman’s office and yet…
⁦@StreetsandSan⁩ ⁦@ChicagosMayor⁩
No sleep. No bueno.
Ashland & Jackson.
Incompetence in action.
Sinking to venting here🙄😫😏
Did I mention this has been 3 days now?
