So FUCK ICE, FUCK TRUMP, AND FUCK THIS ADMINISTRATION. Sorry to get political but it needs to be said

If you craft your ethics around what is “legal” then I need you to grow up. There is still legal slavery in the USA. Many people in our government are committing acts against children that are not only heinous but also illegal and not facing repercussions.

More proof that traditional media is out of touch: The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

BEAR DOWNNNNN!!!! CHICAGO POPE, CHICAGO SUPERBOWL, CHICAGO FOREVER

At the very least we should impeach her hat. #PuppyKiller

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

not just the safe streets project getting cut in this proposal, which is bad enough. It's the neighborhood infrastructure line item that safe streets got lumped into--this means stuff like sidewalk repairs and lighting. Even if your alder labels themselves as progressive--they need to get an earful

Stockton Dr is cleared of all snow and ice right down to the asphalt for cars, but hundreds of daily CTA bus riders at this stop have to navigate icy lumps #PlowTheSidewalks

How long did it take your local bike lane to get plowed?

Join us on Sunday, December 7th at the West Loop branch for a community meeting to go over what happened to #PlowTheSidewalks and discuss where we go next. 📍West Loop Branch (122 N Aberdeen) 🗓️ December 7th ⏰ 2-4pm RSVP ➡️ mobilize.us/s/qqb6u8

Whether Chicago takes on municipal-level responsibility for sidewalk plowing or not, why do they not plow their own sidewalks today? Milwaukee Ave overpass over the Kennedy, Sunday afternoon.

For my Chicago neighbors, here's the petition to sign to oppose the delivery robots: nosidewalkbots.org

This is the future Mayor Johnson and City Council are keeping from you. #PlowTheSidewalks

So many haters have told us it would never snow again and that we were fighting a fool’s errand…

I miiiiight have been pretty hydrated today

#PlowTheSidewalks would pilot sidewalk snow plowing in Chicago and fix a century old burden unnecessarily placed on residents, and correct and unjust system that harms hundreds of thousands of residents. The pilot was killed over fake fears. Let’s remember who did this:

Just saw a mother with several small children and a stroller struggling to get through the snow. If we were to #PlowTheSidewalks it would benefit everyone, no matter how they get around.

What if — hear me out — instead of hiring a person to only plow in front of a single business, we hired them to go down the entire block….and the next…and the next… We could even have a small fleet to cover whole swaths of the city. #PlowTheSidewalks

But *how* will they #PlowTheSidewalks? With what technology?

Feeling festive! So for December this year, I'm doing a "Merry Shitmas!" sale on my scatbooks! Subscriptions have had their prices lowered by 25%, but ONLY until December 21st!

Harry and Marv, Christmas Eve 1990:

Also consider not spreading your fucking contagious illnesses around. Flu, mono, Covid, whatever. Wash your hands, stay your ass at home, test regularly (for flu and covid), wear a mask if you’re ill, been exposed, or in places we all need to access like public transit and medical settings

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

Superhero cinema has yet to produce a random side-character line better than this gen from Spider-Man 2: "Woah! He stole that guy's PIZZAS!!" Change my mind.

Hii cuties! Here mine, what's yours? IMPORTANT: specifically filled this out for what *I* like being/wearing/doing/roleplaying NOT what I like others being/wearing/doing. (For instance - I LOOOOVEEEE playing with middles!!!! But I myself am not one.)

Wonder if she’s too shy to ask or doesn’t know it’s there 🙃

Remember when city council didn’t pass the #plowthesidewalks pilot? Isn’t it amazing how the city enabled this icy slide to develop on their property (a bridge), and it stops immediately at a private property’s sidewalk frontage?

BlueSky shoutout on Abbot Elementary!

A message from CTA Acting President Nora Leerhsen: "No service cuts. No layoffs. In fact, CTA will grow."

It's officially heat lamp season ♨️ Overhead people heaters across all outdoor stations have been activated.

🚨 ACTION ALERT🚨 We did a ride-thru of the lanes Ald. Dowell just paused construction on, to see what's been constructed so far. It includes moving the bike lane to a parking-protected curbside lane, and installing concrete protection at intersections on the 1/2mi stretch. youtu.be/XtjgaB0OywE (1/3)

I don't mean to brag buuuuut... I just did a 3 minute task I had been putting off for months 😎💪🏻

It’s so important to celebrate wins — good vibes and momentum are extremely fun and productive. If I was in Chicago I would definitely be going to this

the people who saved the CTA deserve our support

🙄🙄

If you woke up relieved today that Illinois has a transit funding deal, donate to Better Streets Chicago! They've have been doing the most relentless outreach on this including on the ground, making sure the pressure was on legislators to act. www.betterstreetschicago.org/donate

Gonna need ostensibly liberal states/cities to stop fucking around and playing footsie with conservatives

I missed getting a pic of the @betterstreetschicago.org train on the third floor of Illinois State Capitol today! Someone please share 🚊

Today, we brought the train to Springfield to deliver nearly 20,000 petitions to legislators urging them to get the job done NOW. Transit cannot wait. Legislators cannot continue to kick the can down the road. It is time to fix and FULLY FUND transit.

📢 LAST WEEK to save transit means we need you to get in the fight with us! 📞 Call your reps TODAY and let them know you want them to get the job done NOW! Sending an email only takes 60 seconds, and it only takes 5 minutes to make 2 calls at savetransit.org

I (real vanilla me) am going to, PLEASE sign up and do it too!! Even if you don't live in Illinois!!!

Even if you’re not in Illinois — if you’ve got 2 hours to spare this week and care about the future of public transit in this country, please sign up to phone bank! If the 2nd largest transit system fails, that’s catastrophic for all of us. ➡️ Sign up at act.savetransit.org
