Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson created the so-called “Reparations Task Force” by Executive Order 2024-1 back in June 2024 — and he put just $500,000 into it. Why? Because by that point, he had burned through every surplus dollar the city had to fund services for illegal immigrants, and he... was getting MAJOR backlash from the Black community. Now fast-forward to the 2026 Proposed Budget: He’s trying to slide an additional $200,000,000 under vague categories like “Special Events Projects” and “New Arrivals.” We all know what that means — more funding for migrants, not for us. And here’s the real scam: Word is that the Reparations Task Force is preparing to protest in support of Brandon Johnson to help him pressure aldermen to pass this budget so they can start their little “reparations conversations” next year — conveniently, right before election season. This is the exact same Democratic Party playbook every single cycle: ✨ Create a task force ✨ Hold meaningless meetings ✨ Dangle “hope” in front of Black voters ✨ Meanwhile, they move hundreds of millions behind our backs ✨ And the Black Caucus stays silent every time Meanwhile, we have a full-blown displacement issue in Chicago, and this administration — with the help of these aldermen — is in on it. They are pushing residents out of their own neighborhoods while funneling resources elsewhere. If this Task Force and the Black Caucus were serious about reparations or serious about the Black community, they would be the FIRST ONES calling out this $200,000,000 budget trick. But they’re quiet — because their loyalty is to Brandon Johnson, not the people. It’s a NO for the budget. Chicago residents are tired of being ignored while our money is being misused, misdirected, and hidden under fake line items. #Uncomfortableconversations #ChicagoFlipsRedshow more

Brandon Johnson today on his administration's transparency regarding his Reparations Task Force: "I'm a black man in America calling for the reparations of black people!" Johnson then asserted the restaurant industry is tied to slavery.

Part 2: This is how Mayor Brandon Johnson treats the true residents of Chicago, while prioritizing illegal migrants. Our own homeless,our neighbors, are sleeping on the streets, lying on cold concrete, begging for help. Yet this administration is fighting to provide illegal migrants with free housing, free food, and free resources, while abandoning the very people who built this city. After finishing a Fox Business interview, I was in an Uber when I saw people living under a viaduct. Something in my spirit said, Go back. So I did. I returned to speak with the forgotten residents. And what they shared with me broke my heart. These are beautiful human beings, Chicagoans, who have repeatedly asked for help and received nothing. This is what Brandon Johnson, the City of Chicago, and far too many of your Aldermen choose to ignore. Our own people are suffering, and they deserve better. It was freezing out there.

To the surprise of, well, no one, a budget task force appointed by Mayor Brandon Johnson has recommended tax increases to solve Chicago's massive budget gap. This task force was a sham all along. Here is why: Hilariously, the mayor parroted one point highlighted in the final report: "We do not have a spending problem in Chicago. we have a revenue problem." What a crock. Chicago has a massive but unacknowledged spending problem.

🔥🚨BREAKING: This Black man released footage of migrants hanging on the block of a Philadelphia Black community. He believes they are waiting for “marching orders” I am getting reports from LA, Chicago, Arizona and New York that this is happening more and more since January and they fear that “Migrants are planning to take over the hoods by force.” The Great Replacement is real but it is directly affecting the Black Community first because the migrants are willing to replace the Blacks to have a better position at joining American society and entering the other communities of America. If this is true, as I predicted last month after my visit to Chicago, I fear we are approaching a civil war that will start in the projects and end up in the country clubs. There is a reason for the sudden confidence migrants are displaying now, to my Black Americans, be safe and be prepared, to all Americans be safe and prepared.

We attended the PBC meeting today, and Mayor Brandon Johnson had the nerve to show up like that, socks and shoes on full display, while trying to violate Afro Elite’s freedom of speech. He was telling him what he could and could not talk about in a public meeting. This is the mayor of Chicago. The same mayor who thinks he can silence people, control the conversation, and tell residents how to speak. While fighting for illegal alien rights, they don't have . This is unacceptable.

"The city council has two options: They can tax the rich or they can decimate services and tax working-class people." - Mayor Brandon Johnson 90% of Black and Latine voters support taxing ultra-wealthy corporations to protect our city. And Mayor Brandon Johnson's Protecting Chicago Budget does just that — it makes wealthy corporations pay their share, instead of raising taxes on working people. And it invests a historic $1 billion TIF surplus into our schools, communities, and people. When we invest in our people, instead of protecting the ultra-rich, we build the city our communities deserve. The choice is clear: Invest in people, not cuts. Tell city council to choose people over corporations. Vote YES on the Protecting Chicago Budget.

Brandon Johnson’s great betrayal. Having clearly prioritized support for illegal migrants over the needs of his Black supporters, Mayor Johnson is working assiduously to win back support among Black voters by equating immigration enforcement to the treatment of slaves. It’s a desperate gambit. Johnson’s latest stunt to regain the trust of Black voters was deflecting the cost the city has incurred on illegal migrants by labeling the term “illegal aliens” racist, and drawing a parallel to slavery. Last week, Johnson likened enforcement of immigration laws with the breakup of families during slavery. Johnson has been a party to the displacement of Black residents with illegal migrants. While high crime, the absence of school choice and few economic opportunities are driving the biggest Black resident exodus from any US city, these departed residents in Chicago are being replaced with Sanctuary City subsidized migrants. To date, Chicago has spent $600 million on direct migrant support, and an estimated $400 million more for migrants’ schooling. Meanwhile, Johnson’s promised investment in the decaying South and West Sides is a mirage.

There’s two sides to every argument — but only one side wants to censor any information that disagrees with their false narratives, blatant lies, and MSM propaganda.. The Jewish community pretends to be victims of pseudo hate crimes that don’t exist — while censoring and controlling all the information you see.. The Black Americans have consistently been the number one victims of hate crimes via FBI data — give them time and they will change the data to align with their propaganda… The Jewish community is the only group of people who are above reproach — while consistently playing the role of victims… They have pretended to be allies of the black community for decades - while exploiting the black community for decades… Their ancestors have received #Reparations for the atrocities committed against their communities, and they are continuously receiving reparations today — and at the same time they are actively blocking reparations to #ADOS Yet, they have tricked many in the black community into believing they are our allies.. They are not.. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan files $5B defamation suit against ADL over ‘false’ antisemitism claims

NEW: Socialist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling for reparations funding for black Chicagoans to reduce violent crime. Johnson may be the dumbest mayor in American history. During an interview with CNN, Johnson said that city funds must be diverted to reparation programs to solve crime. "I’ve added a half a million dollars for restoration and reparations to address the cycle of violence, which looks like school closings, closing of mental health facilities, of which I’ve invested in."

CAUGHT! Chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus California Legislative Black Caucus Akilah Weber-Pierson MISLEADS the state Senate Education Committee by telling Senators her bill to divert millions of taxpayer dollars originally budgeted for Reparations implementation away from implementing Reparations and instead to a multi-million dollar genealogy research project (with no start date and no end date) at California colleges, universities, and non profits was recommended by California's Reparations Task Force! Watch: In this clip, the Chair READS from the Reparations Task Force’s report. The part she READS from is a recommendation calling for the creation of a STATE AGENCY and a Genealogy Office to give PEOPLE access to genealogy services (she leaves THAT PART out), and then CLAIMS what she is reading is about her genealogy research study project bill giving millions of dollars California colleges, universities and non profits.

We OPPOSED Black Caucus Bill SB437 by Senator Akilah Weber-Pierson Chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus today. Here’s why: First, the proposal directly contradicts the recommendations of the California Reparations Task Force. The Task Force did not recommend that the state conduct additional research to determine how an individual might demonstrate their descendancy from U.S. Chattel Slavery. Second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth: the proposal is unnecessary, redundant, raises serious risk of fiscal waste, would create crippling and cascading implementation delays, and was already rejected by community advocates. Specifically, it’s unnecessary because tracing Ancestry to U.S. Chattel Slavery is already a known practice conducted by genealogists literally every single day. It raises serious risks of fiscal waste because the research proposed directs millions of taxpayer dollars originally budgeted for Reparations implementation away from implementation and instead to a multi-million dollar genealogy research project with NO start date and NO end date to the research. It would create severe implementation delays because none of the other Black Caucus bills currently moving in the legislature targeting descendants can actually take effect until the proposed research project is completed. Furthermore, last year, this same proposal was rejected by community advocates and former Senator Stephen Bradford when Governor Newsom's office proposed nearly a carbon copy of what is now SB 437 as amendments to Senator Bradford's SB1403. Lastly, the proposal in SB 437 conflicts with another one of Senator Weber-Pierson's proposals, namely SB 518. Californians whose ancestors built this country through hundreds of years of free labor, are tired of research. We don’t need more research. We need action. We need Reparations. #AmericanFreedmen Coalition For A Just & Equitable California ETM MEDIA GROUP #cjeccoalition

Mayor Brandon Johnson reminded Chicago exactly who’s been draining this city: the ultra-wealthy corporations that received massive Trump-era tax cuts — while working families got cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and the basic services they rely on. He made it clear that in a moment when the president is“declaring war on poor people,”the last thing Chicago should do is raise property, grocery, or garbage taxes on working-class families — the very taxes some aldermen are pushing. The Protecting Chicago Budget charts a different path. It invests in people, protects working-class neighborhoods, and demands that corporations finally pay their fair share. As the Mayor said,“This budget tells a story of abundance. There’s more than enough for everyone.” Aldermen voting against this budget are siding with billionaires and ultra-wealthy corporations. We demand that they protect Chicago, its schools and its families instead. Call your alder today and tell them to vote on the side of working-class Chicagoans — and pass the Protecting Chicago budget.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson had a ridiculous meltdown on Tuesday when asked what he’s going to do to bring crime down if he refuses federal help. He said crime is down and he’s using every tool available to him, except federal, of course. Johnson then says “jails, and incarceration, and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities.” With an attitude like that it’s no surprise that Chicago has more m*rders than any other city in the US for 13 years straight. Johnson also plays the race card, of course, during his angry yelling. He says he’ll help the people in this community because they’ll black like him. (nbcchicago on TT)

WATCH: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker comes out strongly today against Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s “head tax” proposal. “I am absolutely foursquare opposed to a head tax for the city of Chicago. It penalizes the very thing that we want, which is more employment in the city of Chicago. It makes it very hard to attract companies from outside the city to come in and harder for companies already here to stay.” Pritzker also said Johnson needs to work harder to find efficiencies in the city budget, rather than threatening the economic growth of the city and state with a new tax on jobs. “Balancing the budget for the state of Illinois and for the city of Chicago is vital. It can’t be ignored, it has to be done, but it shouldn’t be done with a head tax in the city of Chicago… “I am confident the city can do it. Look, you’ve got to start with efficiencies. You’ve got to go into city government—and I haven’t seen any of that in this budget so far. That’s going to have to happen because there are going to be changes. People are not going to like certain kinds of revenue enhancements that he’s got in his budget. So you’ve got to find efficiencies, and there are efficiencies to be found—some with technology, some because we have departments doing things that maybe we don’t need done. And finally, how about we do our best to attract, retain, and grow businesses in the city of Chicago, because that, again, is the best way for us to pay the bills.” Under Johnson’s proposal all companies employing 100+ people in Chicago would have to pay a tax of $21 per employee per month. As Pritzker correctly points out, it’s a punishment for creating jobs.
