Very disappointed in @The_Dump in Lombard. We notified them of a piece of furniture by Prince Art Exporter in their store that has a swastika on it and asked them to remove it. They said no. Time to tell the media @ABC @nbcchicago @WGNNews @BlockClubCHI

A colleague sent me this 2020 email from Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. I could teach a journalism class about it.

Great work by @ballesteros_312 I’m confident it will lead to meaningful change and already has for one man mentioned in the story!

[Carlos Ballesteros @ballesteros_312]

NEW from me: Chicago police have denied hundreds of U visa certification requests from undocumented crime victims this year. Many of the denials are at odds with federal and state law.

Who are the officers signing those denials?

Let me tell you.

@BlockClubCHI No statement from @ChiPubSchools about today?

[Katie Fernandez, CJE @smcteach]

@TheRealDanielH @bravobeez Posting a source doesn’t make it true

[Katie Fernandez, CJE @smcteach]

As a former coach in @ChiPubSchools I wonder how my team would have benefited from a trainer, but like most CPS teachers/coaches in underserved area, we'll prob never know

When it comes to athletic trainers, most Chicago Public Schools athletes miss out https://t.co/7SJ0uN4xbL

@WGNNews You can see the smoke from the highway. I hope everyone made it out safely and the firefighters are safe as well. 🙏🏼

[Katie Fernandez, CJE @smcteach]

@DB0YMYG I see. Thanks for clarifying and sharing!

[Katie Fernandez, CJE @smcteach]

@Alex11Marroquin You are going to be awesome!!
