The Brits have had it

With intellectual clarity and courage, Soviet-born British podcaster Konstantin Kisin has challenged the common claim that Britain has always experienced high-volume immigration and is inherently a “nation of immigrants.” He notes that the post-1066 Norman conquest added only 5,000–10,000 individuals from mainland Europe to the ruling class—a number that pales, both numerically and proportionally,

Mamdani: Socialism "Will Absolutely Translate" Nationwide

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has stopped pretending his socialist vision is just a local experiment.

On CNN International's Amanpour, the Democratic Socialist was asked whether America is ready to elect people on the hard left - and whether the 2026 midterms will be a referendum not only on President Trump, but on the Democratic Socialists of America.

"I think this will absolutely translate on a national level," Mamdani said.

South Siders Give It To Amtrak

Bridgeport and Chinatown residents press Amtrak leaders to 'pump the brakes' on rail yard plan
Hundreds of residents confronted Amtrak leaders and developers planning to construct a rail yard in Chinatown and Bridgeport, demanding they answer concerns about the project’s impacts on safety, quality of life and the environment.

Ann Caruso reacts during a public meeting Thursday with Amtrak officials about a proposed South Side rail yard that would impact residents in Armour Square, Chinatown and Bridgeport. 

Amtrak officials and developers faced off against angry community members Thursday, opposing construction plans for a massive rail yard in Chinatown, Bridgeport and Armour Square beginning as early as the end of this year.

The plan, headed by White Sox minority owner Justin Ishbia’s company, Canal Edge LLC, includes a proposal for the Sox to play at a mixed-use facility along the Chicago River called The Railyards in the South Loop and Amtrak’s maintenance facility to move into the neighborhood on South Canal Street between West 33rd and 35th streets.

Justin Ishbia’s vision to create a new home for the Chicago White Sox hinges on an increasingly thorny question: What will become of its current one?

The team and its billionaire owner-in-waiting aren’t formally obligated to answer that once their lease at the state-owned ballpark ends after the 2029 season.

But Ishbia’s push to help Amtrak build a new maintenance facility next to Rate Field — and eventually put a new stadium on the South Loop rail yard it would replace — is forcing the issue into public discourse sooner than expected.

He now faces intense resistance to the potential Amtrak facility from neighborhood officials and residents worried they’re about to trade a professional baseball team and key economic engine for an unsightly, industrial nuisance.

Leaving behind an empty, taxpayer-funded stadium on the South Side with outstanding debt would be an awkward outcome for a developer needing zoning and permit approvals to realize that ambitious vision. That makes the future of a 35-year-old ballpark and the 80 acres on which it sits fertile ground for negotiating how to mitigate the rail facility’s impact and establish the stadium’s next chapter.
