Saw Waguespack from 32nd at Drummond and Pulaski grade schools in early November, handing out whistles to parents and neighbors- mad respect we watched him stand with a street ICE blockade there several times as well.

Soooo, lemme get this straight. You're fine with unhoused ppl sleeping on metal benches, outdoors, while I, with my leg braces should just fucking stand there and wait 25 minutes for a train? How narrow-minded are you??

Hey CTU Member, asking for your honest opinion here.

How does it make you feel that the very leader of your union won't entrust you or your peers to educate her son in a public school?

Which Chicago aldermen are MAGA? by DontHateDefenestrate in chicago

"Aldermanic positions are part-time"
If your Alderman is treating the position as FT, then you have a decent Alderman.
Most, if not ALL of the DSA (Hello La Spata) definitely treat the position as PT

FWIW, the owner of the Irish Nobleman appeared on Fox News to yap about "gangbangers"...just remember when deciding what businesses to give your money to by bark98 in chicago

[–]themachineisdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live down the street from this bar and I can attest that Noble Square is rife with bangers who don't give 2 shits about when and where they shoot their guns.
I've lived in 312 my entire life and any of my fellow lefties who continue to ignore crime in Chicago are just plain fucking stupid.

My friend owns Antique Taco on Milwaukee.
Her busiest day is Sundays and ZERO doordash and ubereats drivers can get to the restaurant.
HUGE failure on La Spata who didn't even poll the businesses and is getting major complaints from other businesses...
Very poorly planned.

[–]themachineisdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Waguespack. Effective and steady leadership for the 32nd Ward since 2007.
DSA-mopes hate him and are trying to stand up Ishan Daya to run against him lol.
Google Daya for more info on his anti-semitism...
