Reflections on affordable housing in Chicago: you cannot build affordable housing only where it’s cheapest, or only where people will protest the least. You have to build it where it’s needed, which is everywhere.

I could do without my name being dragged into every press mention of this man, more than a year later. But since it’s been brought up again, now I’d like to know what he means when he now says his texts calling us bitches were “misconstrued.” The receipts are all there.

Over the last couple of weeks, sharing my experience has been stressful and scary. I’m grateful to Governor @JBPritzker and everyone who has sent messages of support and their own stories. Here’s my statement.

Today Massachusetts has made it indisputably clear: our Commonwealth will stand up to hostile attacks on life-saving and life-affirming health care.

[Chicago Tribune Opinion @chitribopinions]

On 9/11, the Tribune Editorial Board tried, in a matter of minutes, to make sense of horror and carnage and inspire resolve. Here is a look back at that day and our response. https://t.co/BiwsWQA8P7

It is likely that everyone has been impacted by suicide and mental illness in some way. This is a moment to say the quiet part loud and shore each other up to promote dialogue, communication and treatment.

Someone please collect this dude.

BTW, specifically proud of @annieweinberg for battling it out to the end on this hard fought prog movement win. Met AW when we were baby campaign kids and wish she could be my CM on every race, forever. ❤️‍🔥

Pro tip: apologies followed by, “but” are not apologies. Anti-semitism is hate speech. The end. https://t.co/hZOtrgTg1n

[Joanna Klonsky @joannaklonsky]

One a related note. Invoking the name and image of a person who is dead and not here to speak for himself in the interest of advancing your own political priorities is singularly awful and disgusting. @mazjac has issued no apology for that one.

[Joanna Klonsky @joannaklonsky]

This happened a few weeks ago. I didn't say anything bc I didn't want to be the focus. Now that it's on @capitolfax, I will say that this was vile and unacceptable. An apology after you're called out is one thing. I'll wait and see what they actually do. https://t.co/3NDysJNwJs

@mannysdeli Is it maybe an Indiana thing? I couldn’t do it but my Hoosier dad slathered his in ketchup.
