@EzraMoGee @ChicagoVentures That’s such an amazing email thread!

My friend shot this video today. I'm thankful he didn't get shot in the process & that the victim wasn't murdered. These criminals should get the full weight of the law thrown at their brazen lawlessness.

Be aware of your surroundings. It happens so fast.

Masculinity is not Andrew Tate flexing muscles or Nick Fuentes denigrating women, masculinity is an 83-year-old man quietly sipping coffee to keep his loved ones safe.

I know I’m not the man Shlomo Ron was, but I wish I were. May his memory be a blessing.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue left Illinois when Ken Griffin & his 900 employees from Citadel left Chicago for Miami. Citadel is only a shell of what it used to be - in Chicago. But it is BOOMING in Miami. Sadly, the only thing booming in Chicago these days are people's property tax bills.

Every single time a company leaves Chicago, its jobs & tax revenue leaves with them, leaving those of us left behind paying higher property taxes to make up for the revenue loss.

THIS is the crux of the issue. If we want lower property taxes, which we all do, then we NEED MORE JOB GROWTH.

We need to grow our tax base. More companies, more jobs, MORE working people paying taxes because they have jobs, instead of less people paying more in taxes (as is the case right now).

Keep chasing those jobs away with terrible fiscal policies like @ChicagosMayor's head tax proposal, and the working people will find themselves facing higher unemployment AND higher property tax bills.

As I've said before, "fighting for working people" requires creating jobs for people who want to work, not chasing them away. It requires partnering with, not penalizing our job creators.

I have an idea. Can we vote against every incumbent member of congress, regardless of party? Get them all out

[Sasha Gribov @sgribov]

@Analoguefq I do!

More confirmation we made the right call sending our kids to private school - at least for their formative years. The CTU adds an extra layer of taxes on Chicago parents. You either need to pay a lot to escape them or pay a lot by risking your kids’ exposure to their radicalism.

I know there are many dedicated, hardworking and excellent teachers in the Chicago Public School system. I salute them for doing a hard job under oftentimes hard circumstances. But their union leadership is - to be generous - insane. And unfortunately it’s impossible to predict how far down and wide that insanity extends across the school system.

As a parent, you come to appreciate that young minds are incredibly malleable. Nothing is more important to us than making sure our kids get a good educational and moral foundation in their early years.

We are fortunate we can afford to ensure our children avoid any of the CTU’s toxic brand of nonsense. But, trust me, I’d much rather have confidence in the public education system here and its leadership and not pay the substantial cost of two private tuitions.

The tough reality is most families can’t pay that cost even if they wanted to. And are left instead to risk paying an even higher one: their kids’ development under the tutelage of an ideologically bankrupt teachers union.

I know many families who have had great success in our public schools. I am genuinely happy for them and appreciate the professionals who make that possible. However, I have also heard many horror stories.

At the end of the day, everyone has a different philosophy on life, different financial circumstances and a different risk calculus. For some, what the CTU offers might be appealing. For others, the concept of public education in itself is important. And some may view the risks as manageable given they can provide their children guidance at home.

But for us, the risk of exposing our kids to intersectional garbage and oftentimes low standards during their most impressionable years was not worth it - even if the risk is theoretically small.

Now to preempt some questions and criticism: Why do I care so much about public education here if my kids aren’t in public school?

For one, I am a taxpayer and a lot of our money every year goes to CPS. I care that this is money well spent and yields positive results for the city’s children.

Second - and perhaps contrary to the belief of some on here - I have a soul and care about giving kids a chance for a good future regardless of their background. CTU under its current leadership is an impediment to that aim.

Third - as someone who comments a lot about economic growth being the city’s only way out of our fiscal nightmare - there is perhaps no more important long term driver for our city’s future welfare than educating our children well. Better schooling is not only a moral imperative in and of itself, but it would also turn out a higher skilled workforce and attract more investment, jobs and residents to the city.

To be sure, there are a lot of other reasons I care about public education here, but those are the top ones. Rant over…

[Silvana Tabares @AldermanTabares]

The CTU’s honoring of a convicted murderer and designated terrorist is abhorrent, grotesque, and shameful. At a time when political violence is at the forefront of national discussion, the CTU hit a new low in praising the reprehensible legacy of a killer who gunned down a New Jersey state trooper, who was a husband and father of three.

Educators are public servants who are entrusted with the most valuable resource of a society, the molding and preparation of young minds who will take the helm of our nation. The CTU’s leadership has abdicated this responsibility by prioritizing extreme indoctrination over the foundational subjects of education.

What started as pushing radical doctrines of anti-American propaganda now includes anti-police, anti-Semitism, and pro-terrorism tracts. The CTU is no longer hiding their extreme agenda and are here showing us they believe killers of cops deserve praise if blood was spilled in the name of their anti-American cult.

We should be giving FREE “Golden Science Visas” to every smart AI researcher, biologists, mathematicians, materials scientists, physicists, and all other top scientists. And their families. Even if they don’t apply. We need the best and brightest in USA.

Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk:

“You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it. Slowly, then all at once, he did. College-age voters shifted sharply right in the 2024 election.

“That was not all Kirk’s doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk’s project.”

“Kirk and I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side on the continued possibility of American politics. It is supposed to be an argument, not a war; it is supposed to be won with words, not ended through bullets. I wanted Kirk to be safe for his sake, but I also wanted him to be safe for mine, and for the sake of our larger shared project. The same is true for Shapiro, for Hoffman, for Hortman, for Thompson, for Trump, for Pelosi, for Whitmer. We are all safe, or none of us are.”

If you *only* used SAT to admit to elite colleges, share of admits from top 1% income falls 15.8% → 9.9% and representation from <$200k rises by +8.8%, with no reduction in post-college outcomes.

It's 'holistic review' and 'ban SAT' policy that allows the most wealthy and powerful to virtue signal while getting an edge.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

A domestic terrorist went hunting Jews last night in Wash DC open firing outside a Jewish event killing 2 Jews. The terrorist Elias Rodriguez yelled “Free Palestine” as he got arrested. This type of tragedy is the natural progression of events when the morons running our colleges, far left politicians, and hate merchants on social media continue to normalize and seemingly encourage anti semitism in this country.

The least surprising part about this tragedy is that the killer hated America long before the conflict in the Middle East. He was an active member of the Party for Socialism & Liberation and the People’s Congress of Resistance. He was a serial agitator as so many of the Free Palestine movement are. For them this isn’t just about the war in Gaza. This is about hating America and our way of life. And the more that antisemitism is normalized in this country the more it emboldens these lunatics to commit these heinous acts.

The bottom line is that nobody in this country should be intimidated or fear for their safety because of their religion but here we are.

@zachweinberg Safe cities, put criminals in jail and keep them there, good schools without garbage culture wars, get rid of dumb local regulations, build housing, don’t pander to teachers unions, follow the rule of law, don’t spend money stupidly, grow the economy, and be nice to each other

[Sasha Gribov @sgribov]

@zachweinberg What if the world has changed enough that one could be started without a ton of money and infrastructure. Online first, don’t try to raise billions to run your own candidates immediately. Focus on local elections, stuff that matters to people where no one knows the party anyways
