Our first step in giving Chicago the schools it deserves is dismantling the best schools in Chicago.

I want to assure CTU members, state and federal law enforcement, and the general public that the personal financial impropriety of CTU leadership is not reflected in how the organization is run. One of these years we’ll release an audit and you’ll see that I’m right.

With revenue falling short of projections, my administration is working on a plan to tax car thefts and armed robberies in exchange for immunity.

Want a high-paying job with CTU or its affiliated organizations? There is a proven pathway to success followed by @jacksonpCTU , @JiananShiCPSBoE , @stacydavisgates , and me! Teach for a few years, and then build your career on the backs of the children you failed.

Thank you for the advice @JaymalGreen but we all know that the solution to Chicago’s violence problem is leftist slogans and yellow vests

After a bloody weekend, today I had a presser asking the city to match the 400 million dollars they will spend on migrants this year and spend 400 million on empowering people in the neighborhoods to: - build homes & block clubs - open up schools throughout the day and on

Our progressive vision of justice is really quite simple. We need fewer police. People should not be able to own firearms legally. Anyone caught with an illegal firearm shouldn’t be prosecuted.

I’m flattered that this guy thinks my account is so funny that it must be run by multiple people. No comms team is behind this mayor’s tweets. It’s all from the heart.

This parody account below is too much!!! I would never actually say that we shouldn’t prosecute crimes involving gun violence. Bail reform advocates will have to do some damage control. #banparodyaccounts

If incarceration = safety, the U.S. would be the safest country in the world. We’ve tried prosecuting our way out of gun violence. It hasn’t worked. Thank you to the legislators and advocates making Illinois a national leader in reform by working to eradicate a broken system.

By mobilizing the resources and resourcing the mobilization at the community level, government will be able to top up the bottom-down distribution of resources to community distributors. Safe spaces make for safe places!

Mayor Johnson's long-awaited safety plan in summary: "Mobilizing the neighborhoods and the full spectrum of community stakeholders will support the full force of government approach with a bottom-up component that will utilize the support, input and resources of our community"

Wanting things you can’t afford is the soul of Chicago. In order to fund our Blueprint for a more just and vibrant city, I’m authorizing the purchase of 100,000 Powerball lottery tickets. We want Chicagoans of all races, genders, and sexualities to help us pick the numbers.

I’m proud to announce my new “Pops with the Ops” program. Anyone caught on camera shooting at groups of people, random pedestrians, or police officers will be invited to sit down and share a Coke with their intended victims. Let’s replace conflict with conflict resolution!

During my campaign, I promised that “there is enough for everyone.” As mayor, I pledge to borrow as much money as necessary to make that promise true.

Chicago is planning to borrow $1.25 billion to fund affordable housing and other economic development projects in anticipation of a significant “wind-down” to the city’s TIF program, according to a confidential memo obtained by Crain’s. @CrainsChicago
