#Colombia has received four times more #Venezuelans than the United States. But that small and relatively poor South American country offered the #migrants paths to formal employment, health care, education and citizenship. I went to see the integration. https://t.co/bjMvFR3occ

Chicago Public Media says they want to reach diverse audiences, but cut the people who make these programs. Cut corporate greed and save @WBEZ and @Vocalo instead! #SaveWBEZ #SaveVocalo https://t.co/B23gOWDwda

@MariahWoelfel @chitribopinions Proud I get to work with reporters like @MariahWoelfel every day who can think and report independently, knows where to look on her beat to find new information for the public, and writes with authority!

[Mariah Woelfel @MariahWoelfel]

Lol @chitribopinions. My story wasn’t a “plant.” I had to push for the interviews in it & the policy wouldn’t be public w/out my reporting. This shot at our newsroom is out of line. Here’s my follow-up story if you need new material: https://t.co/Eu3734NbWX

The federal corruption trial of ex-Ald. Ed Burke is delayed by COVID. One attorney on the case has tested positive. U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall is pressing pause until next Thursday. Opening augments had been expected to take place today, but will now be pushed a week.

Ald. Scott Waguespack is moving to censure Ald. Carlos Ramirez Rosa for alleged bullying. A spox for the City Clerk’s Office told @Tessa_Weinberg they don’t keep lists, but since 2010, there’s only been 1 effort to censure a council member, Ald. James Gardiner, which failed.
