“For me, it’s a privilege,” she said. “I come from a family of serving. To help people in need, that’s my calling.” In October 2021, Krystal Rivera, a single mother and newly graduated Chicago Police Officer, was featured in a Chicago Sun-Times article with the above quote.

No, this is not a commercial for antipsychotic medication. This is Alderman BS Lopez in another unhinged rant accusing ICE agents of being Proud Boys and engaging in kidnapping. "Fu*k ICE!" "Abolish ICE!" Byron has absolutely lost it. He's deranged.

May our city honor Ofc. Krystal Rivera for the hero she was and will always remain. May we uplift her family to show the gratitude and respect for the sacrifice they’ve made and the burden they’ll carry. #HonorOfcRivera

CORE teachers lie all the time. And I'll say it again because history has taught me. See CORE teachers ignore sex abuse at CPS, lie about schools "being underfunded," withhold Audit Reports, shutter schools for 78 weeks, shrug at low student proficiency. The list goes on.

Right on cue.......... Though Anthony Joel Quezada's accomplishments in public life are meager, two days after he interfered with ICE agents enforcing laws he dislikes, Block Club throws some overflattering coverage to this obnoxious jerk. blockclubchicago.org/2025/06/06/chi…

Seeing illegal immigrants taken away in handcuffs is so harrowing it exceeds their capacity to cope? Oh, the horror! Oh, the agony! Someone get these two a fainting couch.

Good morning, Chicago. Need a reminder of how devastating Mayor Brandon Johnson's economic policies have been for Chicago's workers? Johnson ending the subminimum wage has led to 5,000 jobs lost, increased service fees, and 100 restaurant closures. Bravo, Mr. Mayor.

Like a dam burst, allegations of harassment against critics of Ald. Maria Hadden are gushing forward. Is Ms. Hadden tolerating a campaign of intimidation against her critics? chicagocitywire.com/stories/671907…

Time to release the Audit Reports, Jackson. The clock is ticking. On June 16, the whole rotten CORE edifice will come crashing down, and you with it.

Self-seeking TikTok star Kat Abughazaleh has appeared on MSNBC twice lately. She spewed lies. Kat's campaign is slowly imploding so she could be eyeing a soft landing in the warm embrace of MSNBC after she loses. The network will be a good fit for Kat: MSNBC loves losers.

CPD and both victims and witnesses to crime lack the most basic protections. Police face attacks from criminals and witnesses to crime fear retribution. Paul Vallas explains how to reverse these conditions so police and witnesses are safe. chicagocontrarian.com/blog/is-it-too…

We're told CPD is expecting a sizable crowd at tomorrow's anti-ICE protest at Federal Plaza. Police say the 5:30 time was deliberately chosen to allow protesters to disrupt and harass people leaving the downtown after work. So, call in sick or work remotely tomorrow.

"Trump is using military force to crush civilian dissent." Duckworth's comment is not merely outrageous and misleading, it is an incendiary lie created to stoke unreasonable fears. It is doubly appalling coming from a sitting U.S. senator who once served in the military.

We're told a small protest took place at CPD's 25th District (Grand and Central) today in response to the fatal shooting of an alleged drug dealer who shot a CPD during the arrest. The protesters were demanding the release of police BWC capturing the incident, which is typical
