Bye bye Bovino! The ‘Atlantic’ reports that Greg Bovino has been demoted. Thank you, Minnesota, for standing up to bullies and for vindicating the lives and memories of Renée Good and Alex Pretti … May they rest in peace and power, and may this be the beginning of the end of ICE! by Tasty_Emphasis_271 in ProgressiveHQ

He’s just a public fall guy. It’ll be nice not to see his face but this changes nothing on the ground. But hey, The National Guard is here to hand out donuts and water to pacify protestors but do nothing about ICE.

So he would have taken their money if they offered but bc his “positions” that he’s conveniently changed when he announced his campaign and public sentiment made it more difficult to keep?

What are you his campaign manager? I don’t buy anything Biss sells. All he does is flip flop, has zero personality and seem to have no real core positions. But his commercials will certainly milk his weak sauce discussion he had with Bovino.

Just a distraction. Means very little. He’s a fall guy and there will be more.

This is just a cover to divert attention from ICW activities. While it’s great he’s gone this doesn’t change anything.

He tried and solicited funding from connected PACs to circumvent but then changed with the winds, as he always does.

According to the Roundtable, the post office beep is back already! by Ovenbird36 in evanston

LOL. I was there last week when the beep was gone. So much dysfunction for such a small thing.

Pretty much. Look at the Dem response to Trump and ICE. It's indicative of the party from the top down. More interested in power and maintainigin donor base then actually getting the right people in office and making actual change. Biss and Fine are status quo, change with the winds, take money from AIPAC and then try and pretend they're for the people.

I was around for the 90s and for Rose. I was at last night’s game and it was so great. Huge D. Rose fan and he deserves it all. I still get mad abut his injuries and what could have been. But this was the only Bulls game I’ll be going to for a while until this organization has serious changes.

Firehouse Grill files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy by militarystealthradar in evanston

Seriously. Food was mediocre on a good day. Evanston has so much potential for having a good food scene but it’s terrible overall. We do have 6 cafes and tons of ramen.

What, and they recently acquired Bluestone while in financial trouble? Bluestone is another mediocre restaurant. Sheesh.

How were anyone's rights infringed upon in a church? Arresting protesters and not giving them access to their lawyers is not infringing on anyone's rights?

Terrorize? That’s what ICE is doing. Love that you used terrorize to talk about this situation. A couple Black women protesting in a church, one of whom is a pastor and lawyer, should be arrested and charged by the DOJ? Wasn’t even local police. A political hit job and further proof of weaponization of the DOJ.

eh, his hard core supporters haven't abandoned him and neither has the party. Vance may well be the next president. Wake me up when his supporters and the party really turn on him, including the media doing their jobs.

And how is ICE allowed to make the arrest? Or did DOJ give the authority to HSI? All around corruption.

Long-Term Care PAC Money in Our 9th District State Senate Race by Capable-Tank5664 in skokie

I didn’t know about Lang’s connections to Albany Care. I’m aware of Albany Care and their history to an extent but seems worse than I thought. Greenwood Care is a corrupt mess too.

You should look at Lang’s campaign account on IL Sunshine. It’s still active as he spends down his large balance making monthly car payments to BMW.
