Youāre not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger.

New from me! Chicago has far too many bus stops to provide efficient service for its ridersānearly twice the national standard. I reimagined what Chicago's bus network could do to make it look like its peers.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

just a reminder that antisemitism has been a part of Western culture for over a millennia and has a powerful influence on culture, social life, and politics. as with other forms of oppression, like misogyny and racism, open violence is just an explicit expression of more widespread attitudes.

Ended up walking 30 minutes in the snow as not a single 49 bus came yesterday within the half hour. This isn't even normal intervals let alone the new frequent network schedule.

Contact your alders to get the plow the side walks pilot off the ground. Yesterday while riding the 80 Irving Park, I saw three elderly gentlemen have to navigate mounds of snow exiting the bus on the street to get to their living facility.

Transit should be at forefront of any climate resiliency plan. Take snow. A bus is heavy and piloted by a trained driver; much safer in snow (or heavy rainfall) than the relatively light vehicles driven by civilians. Bus riders take vehicles off the streets, which speeds plowing, emergency response.

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody. Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (
www.mibfc.org
). And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

Hopefully some good news. Interesting this was included in the budget, leads me to believe lawmakers do have some sort of convoluted plan to address the cliff.
