All struggles & movements are intertwined In previous posts I’ve been hesitant to center myself. I didn’t want to create activist inspiration porn but documentation does matter abolitionanddisabilityjustice.com/2021/05/20/sta… #FreePalestine #FreeGaza #AltTextPalestine #CripTheVote #DisabilityJustice
Controversial opinion: police shouldn't be threatening the public with "blood in the streets".

Here's a story from TODAY about Betsy DeVos's PAC funding candidates around the country to funnel public money into private schools. OF COURSE she is supporting Paul Vallas, who has built his entire career on cutting public schools & pushing privatization. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
in case it isn't clear, when vallas talks about local control what he means is the district won't be held responsible
Whoopsie, "Lifelong Democrat" @PaulVallas

The worst people in this country are coming out of the woodwork to support Paul Vallas—now Betsy DeVos. (From Illinois Families for Public Schools press release.)
This op-ed about FOP's past and legacy and Bobby Rush's own quotes through time about the FOP really highlight the bizarre and absurd situation that is Rush endorsing Vallas in this mayoral race and bringing up Fred Hampton's murder (defended by FOP). chicago.suntimes.com/2023/3/27/2365…
The fact that Brandon just got a donation of $21,698 from a bunch of artists who sold cute t-shirts while the other guy got money from donors who have stock in weapons manufacturing really speaks to what is happening in Chicago’s election rn
Paul Vallas is supported by right-wing hate groups, doesn't support teaching Black history in schools, and has decimated school districts across the country. Chicago needs and deserves better. Learn the truth about Paul Vallas: ift-aft.org/vallasiswrong
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Paul Vallas brought charter schools to NOLA touting school choice as the answer that would “recover” the school district. In actuality, charters would became the illusion of choice since parent no longer had a neighborhood option.
"Under the leadership of Paul Vallas, both the Chicago and Philadelphia school districts entered into toxic debt deals that ultimately cost taxpayers $1.7 billion,” @ACREcampaigns acrecampaigns.org/research_post/…

As you may know, I’m a new father. It is my hope and plan to raise little Dean here in Chicago Public Schools. I have no designs on dipping to the suburbs or ponying up for private school. This is why the thought of a public school teacher as mayor thrills me. @Brandon4Chicago
If you are like me and would like to meet an uncertain future with a sense of possibility, ambition, and collaboration, might I recommend voting for @Brandon4Chicago today
We always ask where we will find the money to do the needed things but allow people like @Vallas to waste millions of dollars doing the wrong thing with it .
Vallas says he believes in “radical decentralization of schools,” which some worry would increase inequities; while Johnson says he wants to fully fund schools but some wonder where he will find the money
I mean seriously, this is the most important endorsement in this race, no disrespect to Wilco. #Common
.@common is more than a Chicagoan, he is a living example of the incredible potential of our city. I'm grateful for his love and support, and look forward to building bridges across our city to deliver a better Chicago for all of us.
Instead of yet another gimmick, how about the city start plowing the sidewalks with its first annual municipal sidewalk snow and ice removal program?
