@birdy0201@Libs_OfChicago False. North side is for “less dangerous” crimes - muggings, carjackings, randomly punched in the face, your house/garage getting broken into. Not “safe” but you won’t die. South side is mainly where ppl get shot.
@IlliniJen@GovPritzker Wait, did he just accuse Trump of taking away freedoms?!? When he shut down schools, outdoor parks, restaurants, etc for a year?!? And then imposed a vax mandate?!? Is he delusional?!?
$800 million in tax increases and:
"The biggest fight the governor is likely to face in passing his budget is the nearly $182 million allocated to fund the newly arriving migrants and another $629 million for the health care costs for the undocumented. "

Of $51 million City Council approved for migrant care expenditures, $47 million is going to pay for contractual staff. That's something Johnson's administration wants to change, as it isn't sustainable -- but fixing it easier said than done. https://t.co/aT4pjiLcVf
Politicians who call gun violence a "public health emergency," and many do, need to explain something.
We all just got out of a 3-year public health emergency, an emergency politicians addressed by shutting down cities, kicking kids off basketball courts and on and on.
So why does it seem the gun violence "public health emergency" isn't really being treated as a public health emergency?

I’m sick of this shit. How many people need to be murdered? How many lives torn apart? Until it actually stops?
We don’t have to live like this. And we don’t have to die like this.
Militant radicals are chomping at the bit for the constitutional right Amendment 1 will give them: the right to include their vision of a national, Marxist workers' revolution in their contract demands. https://t.co/0CizeeMCAW via @Wirepoints
