Folks are discovering that, unlike with CPD, there ain't no COPA standing between them and the feds.
NOW: there was a call of a security guard shot inside the Target. they say the victim WAS NOT shot, just pepper sprayed, EMS is rolling! #SWAT is rolling!! #Chicago #ChicagoScanner
Honoring a cop killer a week after @ChicagosMayor proudly declares “law enforcement” is the sickness. These people are demented & have no business being around our youth.

This is fucking insane. She was a “revolutionary fighter” against America. She was part of an organization that robbed banks and killed cops. She was convicted of participating in the murder of a state trooper. If she’s your hero, you hate America.

Institutions that celebrate the murderer of a policeman as a “revolutionary fighter for liberation” are like a cancer within the body politic.
Randi Weingarten says that if you criticize these people—people she cynically conflates with public education per se—you’re a “fascist.” That’s not hyperbole; that’s literally the title of her new book.

it’s hilarious how just literally doing <anything different from liberal dogma> yields better results by an order of magnitude jb/ctu/etc would rather your kids languish than simply learn how to read.

Shakur’s legacy is being a career criminal who was convicted for murdering a police officer and then escaped prison. That’s it. Allowing these people to be in charge of our children’s education is what’s putting America’s future at-risk.
Brandon Johnson is so bad as a mayor that he is used as an example of what NOT to do by other progressive/socialist politicians nationwide.

BREAKING: I have a leaked email from the "Assistant to Randi Weingarten" voicing concerns about Zohran Mamdani's "ability to govern." "Mamdani has no experience in city government" He points to Chicago mayor's 14% favorability rating, saying "something has clearly gone wrong"🧵

An argument breaks out among anti-ICE protesters over a disagreement to follow orders from Border Patrol. Man wearing a Mexican flag wanted people out of the road to avoid arrest while Antifa told him not to order people around.

A suburban sheriff says his jail population has surged under cashless bail because so many people are skipping court and being jailed on failure to appear warrants. The law also failed to balance racial disparities, he says. cwbchicago.com/2025/09/court-…

Victoria Greyson beat her roommate to death with a hammer and lamp, then told police the stinky garbage bag they found in the pantry was “just an old rug.” It wasn’t. It was the roommate. Greyson will spend 25 years in prison. cwbchicago.com/2025/09/trans-…
