Can you imagine what a horrible world this would be if she had gotten elected? Thank God for President Trump! And thanks to Q, we know.

Why we can’t abandon Kim Foxx
Reformers across the nation are learning to be afraid.
By Jane M. Saks @janemsaks and Emma Ruby-Sachs @emmarubysachs
We are facing a test and we are failing. Police and prosecutorial reformers across the country are watching us and Kim Foxx. They are watching the media attack her for the Jussie Smollett investigation and prosecution, watching the success of forces invested in taking down her mission and vision of reform. Across the country reformers like Kim Foxx are learning to be afraid.
We are teaching these reformers this lesson of fear by allowing the controversy surrounding one nonviolent incident to take all the oxygen, teaching them that it can obliterate the history-making reforms happening in our county. But these are the kinds of reforms we desperately need.
Kim Foxx had our support when she ran for Cook County state's attorney because we understood that the race was a chance to begin a national movement for policing and prosecutorial reform across the country with a fierce, smart, and visionary leader at the helm. We stood with our two-week-old daughter in our arms at Kim's victory party, full of the faint, but burning, hope of a new future. Against all odds, it worked. Kim's election helped inspire Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Kim Ogg in Houston and Rachael Rollins in Boston and continues to inspire campaigns and leadership in places where the most vulnerable are harassed, beaten, imprisoned, and murdered by police and prosecutors perpetuating a racist cycle of abuse.
Since that night, Kim Foxx, her office, and allies have achieved things we didn't think possible—they are the first in the nation to provide full transparency on felony cases, they are leading the nation in number of exonerations, and they are launching a push to start expunging minor marijuana convictions so that people can move on with their lives after "crimes" that are so inconsequential they will soon be legal. And, while doing all of this, Kim's office has increased successful gun prosecutions by almost 69 percent.
Kim's changing the conversation, bringing prosecutors into neighborhoods disinvested for generations and struggling with violent crime. These are communities, like Englewood, where residents almost never had an opportunity to meet anyone in the prosecutor's office before, until they were introduced in court. They are meeting in person, before tragedies, so that police and prosecutors can more closely serve the residents of communities and the victims of the cycle of violence. Foxx is calling out racism in our police force directly when it shows its face, as well as when it is less transparent. And she is a role model for a kind of law enforcement professional who brings strength, humility, humanity, and intelligence to a field
marred by inequality, anger, hatred, and pain.
Democracy is not about one person. It is what we can do together, what we are willing to do together. This campaign to bring justice back to Cook County was never about Kim Foxx. It still isn't. It is about a national agenda to save lives, a national agenda of systemic change and justice. It is a campaign of humanity and equity, of who we aspire to be and not just merely living with how things exist. It is about changing our city and our county into a place where we can proudly and safely raise any child, live as any adult, anywhere and within a social contract that supports and values lives and futures. Any lingering concerns about Kim Foxx, her actions, and any alleged improprieties will be resolved by an independent inspector general report that promises to get to the truth and enforce any consequences demanded by the facts of the case.
So shame on us if we let minor controversy derail the most important, exciting, and impactful prosecutorial reform effort this country has seen in recent history. Shame on us if we abandon the history-making election of Kim Foxx over one incident of intrigue and fame and risk, sending the message to reformers everywhere that the massive movement behind you when you won will abandon you when things get a little tough. Shame on us if we stop the national march, struggle, and demand toward a fair and effective justice system—for all, not just for some.

Well, I guess we know who Kim Foxx gets her marching orders from.
Here's one reader's response to the article:
Foxx's agenda is nothing short of a progressive dream. She campaigned on "reform," and has pursued stricter regulations on police officers, placed limitations on issuing certain charges and implementing strict bonds, and has refused to jail even some violent offenders in an effort to lessen Chicago's incarcerated population.
Illinois Sunshine, which watches political donations to key races, shows more than $300,000 donations from Soros to Kim Foxx's "Illinois Safety & Justice PAC" which Foxx used to finance her defeat of Alvarez in 2016. Soros also contributed $75,000 to Foxx's PAC after the campaign had concluded, seeding her with money for her re-election.
Her office has had recent issues with handling violent offenders:

Foxx's office did not inform either CPD or the mayor's office ahead of time of their decision to come to a deal with Smollett's attorneys. The deal seems to demonstrate a desire for open war between Foxx's office and CPD.

I’m also an avid supporter of many progressive politicians, including Gavin Newsom, who is running for Governor of California in 2018, Tammy Duckworth, who is running for Senator in the state of Illinois in 2016 election cycle, and Hillary Clinton.
Alexander Soros: At an early age, my parents instilled in me the value of giving back to the society that had made their success possible. My parents also never let us forget that, as Jews, we were minorities and that we should remember that our safety was predicated upon certain values that we had to fight for, not only on behalf of Jews but also on the behalf of all disenfranchised peoples. As I look back on it now, it was less a question of why I would start contributing my money and my time to causes I was passionate about and more a question of when. I started the Alexander Soros Foundation (ASF) in 2012.

But those close to Alex say the 30-year-old is the Hamptons’ most unlikely playboy: working on his University of California at Berkeley Ph.D. thesis, entitled “Jewish Dionysus: Heine, Nietzsche and the Politics of Literature,” by day and cavorting with the young and beautiful by night.

Wait, what is that in the lower left hand corner?

I do not understand how Twitter works.
You type in a #, and it says Top Latest etc.
But the Top Tweets don't necessarily have the most responses to them, whether it's likes or retweets. So how are they determined to be Top?
And some of the Top tweets are several days old.
So much fuggery there.
I used to like owls. Being involved in Education, I have seen them a lot in classroom settings and teachers seem to like them. They think of it as a symbol of learning/education, sort of like an apple is a symbol for teaching. Probably not a coincidence that Apple Computers donated computers to schools.
But now that I have learned that the owl symbol has been used by "them", I steer clear of buying anything with a owl. "They" ruin everything.

Chicago police defended their decision not to cooperate with ICE on immigration-related business, ABC News said.
“The Chicago Police Department remains committed to protecting all Chicago residents regardless of their immigration status,” Chicago police said in a statement. “Our pledge to restrict ICE access to our information systems and our refusal to cooperate with ICE immigration enforcement measures has not changed.”
Mayor Lori Lightfoot said ICE should “do their job better,” ABC said.
“They’re critical because we have said very clearly we are a welcoming city, a sanctuary city,” Lightfoot said, according to the network. “Chicago Police Department will not cooperate with ICE on any immigration-related business.”
It's amazing how much damage one person can do.
No cruel or unusual punishments, just JUSTICE.
