- Replying to @BauerJournalismA final and MOST IMPORTANT update: Chance the Snapper was wearing a little bow tie like the prince he is.

00:00 - A reminder: • ~60% of "crime guns" taken in by Chi police are bought in other states where laws are more lenient: chicago.gov/content/dam/ci… • The feds "let some of the Chicago area’s most notorious gun sellers off the hook for serious violations": chicago.suntimes.com/2022/4/15/2302…Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is heavily name dropping Chicago gun violence in a live presser about the school shooting, saying there are more weekend shootings in Chicago than people shot in schools in Texas.

- Replying to @BauerJournalismLightfoot: "It was excruciating" to watch the video. "There are several videos that kind of start at the beginning of the episode. But watching the body-cam footage, which shows young Adam after he is shot, is extremely difficult."
- Am I the only one who feels like Portillo's is more of a suburban thing and not a Chicago thing?
- Was watching @WGNNews last night when I head @patrickelwood quote my Center for COVID Control stories — word for word at points — without providing any credit or reference to Block Club. I've worked for WEEKS on these stories. This is unacceptable. This is plagiarism.
- Replying to @BauerJournalismPritzker: "...Our values are under siege. But they are worth fighting for, and I will not let our challenges crush the spirit that I've always brought to this job. Facing this moment requires that every happy warrior find a little bit of a nomadic warrior in them, as well. ...
