A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
I have this feeling that Johnson, like the Blues Brothers, is on a mission, namely that of the Chicago Teachers union. Other than that he could care less as long as his mission is fulfilled. Will things get worse under his tenure? Probably. Will he get reelected if he runs again? Who knows the CTU is pretty good at getting what they want and the Free Stuff Army tends to follow the CTU…its a possibility to be considered.
Alderman Beal on Fran Spielman show is saying Trump is polling higher than Mayor 14%-CTU/Brandon!!…to funny😁 😂 😀!!
And he’ll still get re-elected.
Does anyone really think that people such as Johnson cares about the indignations heaped upon him? Does any politician? No, they continue doing as they have and collect a nice wage and pension when they are voted out for the next non- caring politician to take office. Sticks and stones… etc.
Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson, the newly appointed president of the Chicago Board of Education, has a lengthy history of posting inflammatory antisemitic, anti-Israel and pro-Hamas content on social media, according to a review of Johnson’s public and private Facebook posts following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks last year.
“The Nazi Germans’ ideology has been adopted by the Zionist Jews,” Johnson wrote in February. “The Israeli government offers a renewal of Nazi language once directed toward European Jews, ‘savages, dogs, vermin,’” he wrote in March.

Is he trying to catch up to Tiffany Henyard or surpass her as the worst mayor?
14% approval rating? So now we know the percentage of residents that are CTU members or dependant on a CTU member.
Expect Mayor Raggedy to go on a rant about systemic racism, historical disinvestment and other perceived grievances in response to his well earned approval rating.
