For those in the 32nd Ward- it sounds like the Wicker Park Committee is trying again on their vote for the 1704 N Milwaukee development, this time as a "membership vote" which last time had a overwhelming "yes" vote to ask Waguespack to support the development

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Join us this Sunday at at the Map Room in Bucktown at 11 am for our Day of Action! Along with our participatory budgeting referendum, we'll be collecting signatures for @gracielaforsenate.bsky.social and @willguzzardi.com, both of whom will be joining as special guests! Hope to see you there!

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

A horrific hate crime

Unsurprisingly it looks like the 32nd Ward will be almost fully in the opt-in or not permitted areas.

Alderman Waguespack repeatedly calling for austerity without providing any specifics and shooting down every revenue idea besides video gambling sure is frustrating wgntv.com/political-re...

I don't know who I'll vote for in IL9. We have qualified candidates who would make great House members. Regardless of how Abughazaleh does in that primary (though it's not likely I'll vote for her), it is important for me to say that she has earned a lot of respect from me for her work here.

NEW Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her team are positioning her to run for president or if she ultimately decides against that race, for US Senate. Full Story: bit.ly/4gwZ2r0

A Cook County judge declined Wednesday to lift an order barring the release of body-camera videos and other records related to the fatal shooting of Chicago Police Officer Krystal Rivera earlier this year. trib.al/j2jrlUn

Not ICE! CPD and the city destroying unhoused people's belongings:

This is what people trying to put themselves in a better situation lose when you convey that experiencing a loss of safe shelter is unlawful.

Come find us canvassing at Retro on Roscoe today!

Trump administration formally requests military assistance for Chicago, per memo I obtained. Read the full document here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Early research in Illinois shows eliminating cash bail didn't increase crime. In fact, Chicago is having a big crime drop. It's difficult to attribute that drop to a single cause (crime data is messy!) But it is safe to say ending cash bail didn't lead to a spike. news.wttw.com/2024/09/18/i...

It was great meeting a bunch of neighbors at the Bucktown Arts Fest yesterday while canvassing- come join us for future canvasses! 32nd.org/pb

For those in Ald. Waguespack's 32nd Ward: there's a campaign via referendum to create a participatory budget process to allow for more community input on allocating public funds for our ward. 14 other wards in the city already do it. Come join a canvass! www.32nd.org/pb

Very pleased to see all the publications commenting on how young 33 year old Zohran Mamdani is

As I move to a new ward, going from Matt Martin (47) to Scott Waguespack (32) as my alderman is going to be an insane downgrade

Idea: maybe let's stop letting the Nextdoor caucus decide what counts as "public safety"

I hope BJ listens to the Progressive Caucus, who has asked him to veto (and have enough votes between them to block any attempt to override the veto)

Chicago says fuck ICE #nokings

Sears towers should have gold and white lights tonight

Know your rights.

Only took 14 years of living in the city but I finally caught the holiday CTA train!

Just a reminder that Chicago is amazing

So what's chicago bluesky like
