1626599892985565189 | "As Chicago prepares to elect its alders and next mayor, we should be asking how they plan to protect our communities––including when that requires standing up to police." @_Eric_Reinhart and @RossanaFor33 for @thenation and republished by @TheTRiiBE https://t.co/zviITqxphs | 29 |
1627371357469122562 | The endorsement puts García in bed with allies of former Mayor Harold Washington’s fiercest enemies, including former 33rd Ward Ald. Dick Mell. | My latest for @TheTRiiBE https://t.co/L7xUi5E55o | 26 |
1627060653507899394 | One day after Rossana Rodriguez calls for police accountability in an article at @TheTRiiBE and @thenation about another CPD coverup that should be front-page scandal, @ChuyChicago endorses her police union-backed opponent.

1624447091056558082 | Our @TheTRiiBE story compared Vallas's Texas police officer son killing a Black man who was fleeing with a gun to the CPD killing of Anthony Alvarez, not Laquan, b/c Alvarez led to CPD amending foot-pursuit policies, which Vallas criticized at the launch of his mayoral campaign. https://t.co/NGMHjDVVZN | 22 |
1624467945307906052 | We stand with @TheTRiiBE and our allies @GKMC18 ✊🏾 We cannot allow racists to silence or threaten media for the people https://t.co/ZBVJaYMzt2 | 22 |
1627382192434212870 | If you’re in Chicago and not reading @TheTRiiBE—a relatively new Black-led media outlet doing much of the best political and cultural reporting in the city—then you are missing something our city has needed for a long time. | 21 |
