Ep. 1801 - How This American City Was Reduced To A Total Humiliating Clown Show

June 23, 2026

AI Summary

5 min read

In a single weekend this past June, six people were murdered in Chicago and 39 others were injured in shootings. The following Sunday, Mayor Brandon Johnson posted on X about a different emergency: "For too many transgender Chicagoans, the sense of belonging they deserve in their city has been denied by exclusion and barriers to opportunity in spaces that should feel safe and welcoming. Since declaring a trans femicide state of emergency, our administration has strengthened the city's capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans." The post mentioned a "trans femicide state of emergency" as though it were a well-known fact. It was not a prank. Johnson had signed an executive order in 2024 declaring exactly that, establishing a working group to address what the order called "the killing of trans woman because of her gender identity, especially when motivated by trans misogyny." The order claimed Chicago was "the deadliest city in the nation for black trans women."
