Our milk truck driver likes to tell dirty jokes. It’s usually appreciated. But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t awkward when you see the truck pull out of the driveway, then a minute later your Amish hired guy walks into the feed room and asks you “Mike, what’s an orgasm?”
.@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.
I have zero interest in college hoops these days. I used to watch as many Syracuse games as I could, but no more. I’ve probably seen 20 minutes of this season, including the last few today. I can’t believe what has become of this program. Man, what a disgrace given what it once was
Walking into the locker room and feeling you hit proverbial wall and wanting to make a change based on the feelings in that locker room then keeping the same GM and an in house coaching promotion doesn’t give me a lot of hope. Seems jury safe and lazy. I’ll hope for the best
For what Reggie Gilliam has meant to the Bills top rushing offense in the NFL, being passed over for the Pro Bowl for a guy who played only nine games is ridiculous. I don’t normally care for these sorts of things, but some guys deserve recognition they don’t normally get
Nobody is asking people who did not like Charlie Kirk to cry about his death.
We are, however, asking you to shut the fuck up and not be a subhuman piece of shit.
Is that really so difficult?
I never talk on politics and I probably never will again as it’s so divisive for no damn reason. Political violence is for the VERY weak minds. HATE THIS!!!
🙏🏾 Charlie Kirk
