Mayor Brandon Johnson posted a statement: “The illegal actions by the Trump administration have nothing to do with defending the Venezuelan people; they are solely about oil and power.”

Statement from Mayor Brandon Johnson: The Trump administration’s military action in Venezuela violates international law and dangerously escalates the possibility of full-scale war. The illegal actions by the Trump administration have nothing to do with defending the Venezuelan people; they are solely about oil and power.

As we have said for the past two years, the dehumanization of migrants from Venezuela, and of immigrants generally, by the Far Right has laid the groundwork for military action in Central and South America. I strongly condemn the Trump administration’s inhumane treatment of migrants in our country and this illegal regime change abroad.

In Chicago, we will continue to uphold the values of peace, diplomacy, and mutual respect for all people.

Some of y’all were confused when progressive alders were being targeted for not supporting the Protect Chicago budget. An alternative budget crafted by oppositional alders raises our garbage collection fees & puts slot machines at O’hare to replace the head tax: chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/20...

The best thing we can do when we see articles about Rahm Emanuel is to not click on them. Show no interest at all. The Atlantic actually paid to promote this article on IG.

Ald. Yancy told The TRiiBE on Oct. 16 that he thought Johnson’s budget proposal was “extremely progressive.” Now, his thoughts have apparently changed…Business PAC One Future Illinois sent out text messages to support Yancy’s show of opposition. Read more ➡️ thetriibe.com/2025/11/eman...

Just witnessed Chicagoans following this undercover ICE vehicle (Black pick-up truck) heading south on Ashland honking their horns incessantly and alerting everyone that ICE was coming.

When I saw the news that the shooter wrote an “anti-ICE” message, I did not expect for the actual words on the bullet casings to be “anti-ICE.” IKYFL!

Politico brings the opinions of the Tribune Editorial Board (the mouthpiece of conservative, old money Chicagoans) and the folks at Illinois Policy (where Mayor Brandon Johnson’s political opponent, Paul Vallas, works at) to sway public opinion on Mamdani. Nasty work.

LOL. Anyone who went to school with rich kids knows that they rely on money to buy friendship/love. This man has everything money can buy but ultimately wants power and adulation. Of course the Tesla Takedown is getting to him. Who would he be w/o his riches?

Still thinking about this. Since when do Secret Service agents do this type of behavior? Like…the SS does personal security, event security. Trump is not even in the state. The FBI does monitor online activity. It would have made more sense to say that. Can an expert weigh in?

You all should know that an amazing Black woman director, Dawn Porter, made the documentary Luther: Never Too Much. The film is beautiful portrait of an artist that gave us so much more than he received. I can’t imagine the Black experience without the soundtrack of Luther.
