Chicago please put the guns down. Yasmin Pérez passed away this morning in the hospital. Her and her partner Gyovanny have left behind two young children after being killed senselessly during a weekend that our Boricua communities should be able to celebrate our resilience. QEPD.

DePaul students are the epitome of spoiled because every time I tell someone I’m a 10 min walk from the brown line, they give me this face: ☹️and they say shit like “wow that must really suck, how do you do anything or see anyone?” & when I say I don’t use Uber they also lose it!

Lightfoot is so disconnected from immigrants in her city that she didn’t even think that maybe some of them don’t have banking or credit cards
Mayor Lightfoot said tamale vendors going cashless is one potential solution they're working with to deal with string of Little Village robberies.

This is important because CPD, the Ald, and MLL are going to try hard to paint a picture of what type of kid Adam was.
They didn’t know him like his family and friends did. I think agreeing on this makes sense and can help restore a teensy bit of respect to a grieving community.
