This is a hilariously bad lie to tell because it didn't happen and @JiananShi knows it didn't. But also, Latinas don't all look alike, you know.

WOW - the current sitting alderman Anabel Abarca (@Anabelfor12) walked inside the early voting location today & started passing out her lit! This blatant electioneering is an example of why a vote for Anabel is a vote for more of the same. Punch 51 for Julia Ramirez!

From @ndblumberg: @RevBrewChicago provides its carbon-rich byproduct spent yeast to reduce the amount of phosphorus in the water MWRD treats. If there’s too much phosphorus in the water, that can feed microorganisms that can harm waterways. news.wttw.com/2023/02/22/how…

According to Chicago Mag, I am “from the right” despite being a lifelong Democrat and Obama stan.
I guess being a moderate Dem in Chicago means one is right wing?

I appreciate that in the year of our Lord 2023, it is a simple reused paperclip stuck inside my 8k tv that is letting me watch the #SuperBowl

From the Editorial Board:
George Cardenas’ former chief of staff, Anabel Abarca, and her government experience, which includes work as a staffer in U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley’s office, gives her an edge.
Abarca is endorsed for the 12th Ward.
ALT Anabel Abarca, 12th Ward alderwoman.

Honored to have the endorsement of @RepMikeQuigley who has been a reformer, good governance advocate, and strong ally of LGBTQ rights. I learned so much during my time as a staffer for his office and it's serving me well as Alderwoman!

Probably 30ish people in the room. Currently discussing crime and how dispensary would mitigate. Hi def infrared cameras that can recognize license plates.
There is a pineapple on pizza option for those interested.

Great CST editorial on criminally neglected historic Central Manufacturing District. Any set of redevelopment proposals should have to include someone taking responsibility for and restoring the CMD's iconic clock tower, even if it's the city itself.
