Yesterday the City Council ghosted CTA. Shame on us, as the public deserves better!

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

The Republican Congress has basically ceded any power unless it involves giving money to the President's secret police force

He fired a Black man who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He fired a woman who was the CNO. I could go on. How much more evidence do we need.

This one roundabout will cost ~40% of what the UK government spent on supporting local bus services outside London in 2025.

After nearly a year, the Street Bridge over the Chicago River reopened early Friday morning. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/state-street-bridge-chicago-river-reopens/ 

Too many Americans are hungry, sick, and struggling to afford housing and other necessities. We should spend our tax dollars meeting those needs — not throwing more at our $1 trillion Pentagon for a pointless war most of us oppose.

They're willing to say these things out loud.

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal. It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

Exclusive: Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of trafficking children for sex, bought a property in New Hampshire where she was found hiding in 2020. Swiss bank UBS released the money for the purchase on her behalf in 2019 despite a subpoena over Maxwell's money, DOJ documents show reut.rs/4rZKTqn

Mindblowing stat: A car hitting you at 49 mph is more likely to kill you (75%) than GETTING SHOT IN THE HEAD (58%). #VisionZero #cycling #walking #SafeStreets medicine.yale.edu/news-article... aaafoundation.org/research/imp...

From the office of @aldermanlaspata.bsky.social: The Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety is collecting data on flooded bike lanes. You can report a flooded bike lane at bit.ly/bikelaneflooding #bikechi #bikechicago

Average American threat response; Almost get run over by a ford f-150 going 30 over the speed limit? Nothing I saw a homeless guy on a bus? Give me a Purple Heart

Law Dork subscribers are familiar with the impoundment discussion, but Josh lays out how brazen, illegal, unconstitutional, and just plain old wrong this is very well and it’s important for everyone to understand this.

Dispatches of ICE sightings in airports (Day 4): ⬇️

Every Justice Department or FBI employee who worked on the criminal investigations into President Donald Trump has been fired, resigned, or took early retirement, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said. https://cnn.it/4ddkUrI

uhhh

👏🏼The Choctaw Nation has purchased a warehouse in Oklahoma that ICE was trying to buy and use as a detention center. www.projectsaltbox.com/p/choctaw-na...

When I said Trump would deploy ICE at the polls, I was called an alarmist. When I said I did not believe the denials,I was labeled a partisan. Now DOJ officials are endorsing it at rightwing conferences. Stay informed. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Oh hells yeah, the Committe on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety has created a form to report bike lane flooding!!!! #bikechi airtable.com/app2kZnzP9be...

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with concentration camps and ethnic cleaning

yay rain

If mail-in voting is so terrible, why did Donald Trump use a mail-in ballot himself? President Cognitive Test instantly started glitching.

And it’s that Congress has let him. The GOP could resolve this tomorrow.

For the first time ever, **in 2026**, it will be legal in Missouri for pregnant women to divorce their husbands. divorce.law/guides/news/...

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Mike Lindell was served with a lawsuit today while doing an interview at CPAC.

"The rules are different for me because I'm the president"

I stay on X primarily to monitor international news and rely on the “Following” tab, but this graphic is an accurate reflection of the content on the “For you” tab, which is the default for most people. It’s hard to understand why mainstream and left-leaning media outlets don’t invest more on Bsky.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top House Dem appropriator, says DHS is actively choosing not to pay TSA workers while paying employees at ICE, CPB, Coast Guard and Secret Service. And that the TSA administrator confirmed this herself on Weds. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

NEW: During a conservative political conference, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said he couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose the president deploying federal agents to the polls. He is now the most prominent Trump official to voice support for ICE officers patrolling voting sites.

Hello 👋 I'm looking for 3-4 people with chronic pain who waited in long airport lines for a @motherjones.com story due to TSA not being funded. Please email [email protected]. Would love to chat either today or early-ish tomorrow (call wouldn't take longer than 10 minutes).

Streetsblog USA is hiring a Summer Intern for a part-time, fully remote internship! Priority will be given to candidates with talent for producing and curating original short-form video content and partnerships with video creators relevant to our mission. Applications are due by April 15.

The funny thing about this idea is that Congress had a deal to pay TSA a few days ago and Trump killed it

Even without insane and illegal wars, the thing about any dependency, including car dependency, is that once you’re dependent, they can do whatever they want with the prices. Real freedom is choices. #UrbanTruth

Outlaw billionaires.

Do you ever think about how different the world would look if we’d gone all in on trains and streetcars instead of automobiles

NEW: The Illinois General Assembly is considering a trio of bills that would amend the state’s property tax sale laws. Here’s what’s in the bills — and what additional reforms advocates say are needed. (w/ @raceandequityproject.org) www.injusticewatch.org/project/take...

ICE locks tens of thousands of detainees nationwide in a network of 170 "hold rooms" spread across 49 states, which are forbidden from containing beds. Today, we are publishing location and detainee information about all 170 facilities. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl...

Nadig posts about a single family home being constructed at 4950 N. Central Ave. Someone comments: "Wonder where there will be parking for this property?" www.facebook.com/nadignewspap...

Well alright then. He’s just admitting it.

If you get the chance and you are in New York this is a fantastic and very moving documentary on Alzheimer’s and love. www.mmjccm.org/event/film-w...

I don’t envy the parents of dead servicemen listening to this.

They aren't "tiny." The doordash robots weigh 350 lbs. Typically takes ~10 sidewalk robots plus their human support staff to deliver as much as one person on an ebike/moped, which is why this has been a money pit and is likely a deadend tech. bsky.app/profile/anic...

✨Schrödinger’s Crosswalk ✨, joint work with a terrific interdisciplinary team, under submission to law reviews now. It’s a bit unconventional (6,600 words, including a table, plus maps) but, we hope, appealing for the right journal.
