NEW: A @TheTRiiBE investigation found the @cookcountysao's do-not-call list includes hundreds of current and former Chicago cops who cannot be trusted to testify in court. The list we published is far longer than previously reported. | 🖋️ Max Blaisdell thetriibe.com/2023/05/hundre…
Ten years ago this month, @KarenLewisCTU left a school board meeting during which members voted to close 50 schools and said: "We have to change the political landscape in this city." Today, CTU organizer @Brandon4Chicago was sworn in as @ChicagosMayor. chicago.chalkbeat.org/2023/5/15/2372…
On the @washingtonpost front page: Two years before the Obama Center plans to open, residents in surrounding communities already are feeling the shift. Rents rising. Families being displaced. How Chicago will respond now rests with its newly elected mayor: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
22,000 new votes from 18-34 year olds compared to February is absolutely wild. Give young people something to vote for and they will do it.

It’s a good day for Chicago! #MayorBrandonJohnson
Voters asked city officials to intervene, build affordable housing and protect residents. The next mayor will decide how to proceed. But amid all of this looms a question: Is it possible to stop displacement amid such colossal development? Read on: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/… (6/6)
In the Chicago runoff, which ends today, crime has dominated. But when candidate Brandon Johnson came to the South Side to meet residents just a block from the soon-to-be Obama Center, what he got asked most about wasn’t crime. It was housing. 🧵 (1/6) washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Voters told Chicago via a Feb. referendum that it should create affordable housing + offer aid to South Side renters and homeowners living by the Obama Center. But whether the city acts will depend on the next mayor — and tomorrow’s runoff. New from me: wapo.st/3ZFGsCV
“… experiences can become trends. But the reality is that this is about real people, and we don't want … the center honoring the first Black president - to be another page in the long history of displacing Black people or doing harm to Black families.” washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Blackstone Group purchased thousands of San Diego's affordable housing units in 2021, then raised rent for some units between 43-64% in just two years, the new report says. on.nbc7.com/7UxJakA
New: @tinahone and @yancyforthe5th differ on how many policy demands of the @ObamaCBA coalition they support following voters' passage of a ballot question. But organizers with Not Me We and @STOPChicago stress accountability regardless of who's elected. thedailyline.com/chicago-runoff…
