We should vote only for those who promise to make billionaires history. We need a great levelling, through tax and redistribution. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Come to Southside Critical mass. 6:15pm at Kimbark and 55th.

Guess who is back at it!

for every like this post gets i will ride 1 city block on the sidewalk and for every repost i will ride 5 mph faster while doing so

Now's a good time for Illinois residents to take advantage of a unique right we have to be removed from Clearview's database. Scroll down to IL opt-out here: www.clearview.ai/privacy-and-...

RTA board meeting is starting at 8:30. I can't watch but it should be an interesting one. www.rtachicago.org/about-rta/bo...

Today is has been the best day yet for crunchy leaves. I can't wait for tomorrow

Please get rid of the Irving Park brown line. I'm tired of wondering how close I am to home and looking up and having to see Irving park road

Every stop. Now!

For clarity, since this bill does not go into effect until June 1, 2026 RTA can still raise fares in this years budget. They can't raise fares for FY27.

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

🙌🎊🎉🎈🎇

This is my favorite day of the year. I really love elections

This UPS plane crash in Louisville is awful.

🚨 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)

Inbox: Public meetings to provide feedback on better streets for buses are beginning later this month with in-person dates on 11/20, 12/1, 12/2, and 12/8 (virtual). www.transitchicago.com/betterstreet...

Just saw Jesse McCartney call a hazer– a "cryo machine." Going to say that at work so they ask me to leave for the day

SS Critical Mass is the city's best ride (this is in partnership w/ them). Come through

Real bummer. Teen Vogue always had good explainers whether you were a teen or not.

Honestly we should have a Curtis Sliwa in every election. You know, as a little treat.

Finally watched it and it is hands down one of the most thoughtfully crafted movies

My father-in-law works for CDOT. We were in a bike lane today and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer... "We can't, we don't know how..."

My voter registration address is the tidyverse

As called on TVA Sports in French Canada:

E-bike ad during the world series, let's go

Selling a Kryptonite Heavy Duty New York U-Lock I've got. Asking $120, retails for ~$160. Comes with the mount for easy attachment to your bike

Walked around with some friends for Halloween with warm beverages which is what I'll doing every Halloween from now on.

Here's a quick and dirty one-page overview of the Northern Illinois Transit Authority legislation that the Illinois General Assembly passed early this morning. Reply w/questions. Link to bill: ilga.gov/documents/le...

I should have stayed up and then immediately done a speed run after they passed the transit package

We got the revenues. We got the reform. Now it’s time for the vision of what an integrated, unified, truly-regional transit network could look like, and what it could deliver to all of Chicagoland. It’s time to #BuildTheTunnel. citythatworks.substack.com/p/build-the-...

Sorry I posted over 150 times last night

Seven hours later and I honestly can't believe the volume and impact of changes they got through the GA. Like sorry you got a majority of the state to agree to let transit agencies start developing their land, stoped requiring parking in a large swatch of the city, and got $775M+ to find transit

I happen to be on @chirpradio.org until noon. I'm spinning non Halloween, Halloween tracks. Tune in at chirpradio.org or 107.1FM!

Transit is filthy rich. The Senate passed SB2111 36-12.

Prohibiting fare increases for a year honestly makes zero sense. They don't need to "stabilize"

Incredible timing

Never been more excited to see a supplemental calendar

Please be next, please be next

Transit is rich. House passes SB2111 72-32

Three minute limit is my new best friend

If we did no speeches on the transit bill that would be okay–preferred even.

SB2111 just got called for advancing and republicans immediately requested a caucus meeting for the next 30 minutes to an hour.

Bill text is out. Confirmed: - Road fund interest is 90:10, NITA:downstate split - RTA tax is 1.5% in Cook County, $1.25% in collar counties - Sales tax on Gas/Diesel is 90:10, NITA:downstate split

No need to watch the floor if you're just in it for the transit bill. Nothing's happening until House Amendment 003 gets posted here. ilga.gov/Legislation/... Go watch something else enjoyable for a bit

It's going to be a few minutes before the house resumes on the floor so this is now an AMA about what's going on.

At 7:45: the Executive committee has recess and took no vote (there is no bill text to vote on; HCA3 has not been filed yet). They voted 8-4 yesterday to recommend the dead on arrival (HCA2). HCA3 is a floor amendment. So no committee hearing is needed. You'll see this next on the house floor.
