Such mixed feelings on this

Solar just produced more electricity than coal in the US for the first month ever and it won't be the last... Over the last two decades, the role of coal and solar in the US mix has changed drastically May 2006: 🪨 48%, ☀️ 0% May 2016: 🪨 26%, ☀️ 2% May 2026: 🪨 12%, ☀️ 13%

To be a Real Chicagoan is to live in Chicago, IL IMO

Americans are getting left behind. The renewable energy revolution is going turbo almost everywhere else: the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, all across Europe, all across Africa. In the US we're blocking RE projects & throwing billions at coal. COAL ffs!

It annoys me when people hint that any multi family building over 3 stories feels “huge” for any neighborhood along the lakefront. Siblings in Christ have you seen the 70+ year old lakefront condos?

new William Gibson book opening line dropped

This is appalling. I have reached out to Mount Sinai for answers. Healthcare institutions have a duty to do no harm and protect their patients. There should be zero cooperation with the fascist Trump administration as they continue to target trans youth and their families.

Just to clarify, today brought Pokémon GO Fest, a sold-out Soldier Field soccer game, and a Northerly Island EDM festival together on the Museum Campus, and the CTA decided this particular weekend was the best time to not only shut down the State Street Subway, but also cut trains across the system?

Alder Nicole Lee will not even consider protected lanes here because we'd have to remove street parking.

CPD said the case was suspended after they exhausted all “investigative leads,” despite video evidence showing the crash and subsequent violent arrest Tuesday morning. A police report said the ICE agent was making a “tactical move” when causing the crash; it was classified as “non-criminal.”

THE HAMMOND BEARS South Shore Line stocks are UP

People will be congregating at public beaches on a summer weekend call the fuckin swat teams

My reaction to this information

A rat wall in the 48th ward

Everything about the cop presence on the lakefront was deeply infuriating. We need to make it so that you simply cannot drive two dozen SUVs into the park and onto the grass.

Imagine how much overtime we're paying the police tonight to stand around on a basically empty beach

Happening now in Albany Park: Protesters are gathering in the corner of Kedzie and Lawrence to protest ICE’s increasing activity in Chicago. On Tuesday morning a man was was taken by federal agents by this intersection, sparking two days of protests and demonstrations.

i think the pearl clutching over the downtown “teen takeovers” is overblown, but this is the kind of resource the kids need more of!

Did I cook here

Chicago is sleepwalking into electing its own Eric Adams with this slate of uninspiring losers

I'm just thinking about it im just thinking about it im just

Currently workshopping a guy who's mad that Mamdani's getting credit for a Knicks team that was actually built during Eric Adams' administration. Really looking forward to seeing where this goes.

It’s pride month, time to step it up

There are SO many reasons that CDOT needs to be rebuilt from the ground up and this is one. Just complete morons.

Susana Mendoza filmed her mayoral campaign announcement video inside the Mexican grocery store in Albany Park that this happened outside of yesterday. In March she called for the man accused of killing Loyola student Sheridan Gorman to be deported to El Salvador, where deportees have been tortured.

How does anyone involved with addressing "teen takeovers" not feel a deep sense of personal embarrassment at expounding energy over this shit lol. This is not a real problem

The danger of the Cook County State's Attorney not prosecuting excessive use of force is that they'll do it again. And soon. There has to be accountability *before* somebody gets killed again.

I dream of a DSA slate in Illinois

@kcdsa.org is cooking

Great news

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Seems bad!!

yay it's NITA day

Being in the room for this was crazy lmao

Damn :/

Give the 22 her own lane!!

absolutely fucking crazy to see that the democratic party’s base is increasingly indistinguishable from that of the DSA when it comes to the responsibility/relationship of democratic politicians and the police

I do think some D mayors and governors are genuinely surprised when they send a phalanx of cops in to "protect people" outside detention facilities and those cops end up escalating instead. Those politicians often genuinely believe their cops are trained, able, and willing to take the people's side.

Kat would have won with AOC on the ballot. Junaid Ahmed might have won with AOC on the ballot. Nida Allam would have crushed with AOC on the ballot.

It’s the final countdown (for the spring legislative session) How much future housing construction will the Illinois General Assembly legalize this weekend? Follow @abundanthousingil.bsky.social for BUILD updates

Very important to note that parking prices have not changed, but automated enforcement means everyone's actually getting charged. The bus is still $2.25, by the way.

Yo @bsky.app this new nsfw filter is horrible. It hides whole accounts, I have to click through a censor bar to see what a friend thought of a movie because a year ago they drew a butt? We already had content filters, this just makes the site unusable and deters a chunk of your audience from posting

Seems bad

oh holy shit, NYWFP declined to endorse Espaillat over not supporting Block the Bombs
