The rhetoric [Cristina Pacione-Zayas] employs mirrors that of the mayor himself .... "Our current systems and structures were designed to privilege particular populations and their proximity to whiteness,” she said in an interview with Crain's, explaining how an “anti-racist framework” applies to politics.... Echoing the language that swept Johnson into office, Pacione-Zayas contends Chicagoans can’t reside in a scarcity mindset: There’s enough for everyone.
Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

“There’s enough for everyone” – spoken like a true socialist.
Mayor’s Office is a collection of aggrieved folks seeking “social justice” by imposing another version of simplistic bigotry, blatant racism, and overt prejudice.
Not every white person has experienced “white privilege”, Ms Pacione-Zayas. Most white people have not experienced “silver spoon” advantages; she speaks from ignorance and intends to impose her version of self-entitlement.
Mayor and his minions need to meet blue-collar white people, an ethnic group which still does exist in Chicago, and white first-generation college-graduates, of which there are many residing in Chicago as well.
Wow! What a bitter angry person. She must have been taught from a very young age that she is a victim, victim, victim. Chief of staff to the mayor of (what used to be) one of the greatest cities in the world? How far we have sunk. Lord help this city if this is the head case making day-to-day decisions on so many policy issues. This appointment should scare the daylights out of anyone with a three digit IQ who is left in Chicago.
I can’t repeat enough, these people all live in a world of fantasy and make-believe. They’ve constructed an alternate (progressive) reality upon which they try to impose upon the real reality. With disastrous consequences. The flat out gobility-gook that “Our current systems and structures were designed to privilege particular populations and their proximity to whiteness” is just another version of the magic dirt theory. The dirt where white people live has magical properties that gives them wealth and mostly intact families and happiness and privilege.

All these progressive wackos have the same thing going. Here’s another know nothing with three names that wants to take everyone else’s money and give it to her perpetually unemployed friends. Pound sand sister.
Cristina wants to rule over a wasteland. She will get her wish.
A translation is necessary for her “there’s enough for everyone”. She means that there’s enough for her and her fellow insiders, and you poor slobs who are outsiders, no matter your color or victim group, might get some crumbs. See every communist country for how this will play out.
WOW, CPZ sums up what the entire CTU/Brandon admin fake progressive equity hustle schtick is all about—$$”redistributing resources”$$. Watch as “new machine”, majority white, upper-income CTU $$cleans-up$$ while low income Black folks get peanuts. And chump taxpayers take it up the rear as usual…….all while apparently CPZ has ZERO concerns about Chicago phantasmagorical $billions$ in debt?
Hoo, boy. She’s a piece of work. Progressive extremism at its purest.
