contact Alderman Lawson and tell him our city is for people, not a parking lot for the Cubs

A planned development to build 368 parking spaces in my neighborhood because the Cubs did a survey and suburban drivers complained about lack of parking. Fuck you, it’s our neighborhood. www.44thward.org/resources/wr...

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5 year-old boy. ICE executed a man on the street. It’s time to tear down this secret police force.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

We were thrilled to wake up this morning and see that our recent video's been doing great on YouTube! We're so thankful to all of you who shared it and supported it. (The comments however... are more mixed)

It’s honestly just so insulting that there are any on-street car parking spaces at one of the highest-ridership transit corridors in the city. The 77 is slow as molasses right here. All for the convenience of like 15 drivers.

The Department of Finance Meter Maids should have authority to issue fines to property owners for uncleared sidewalks.

45 minute timelapse of Vredenburg in Utrecht, which can only be used by people on public transport, walking or cycling. Buses do not get delayed in queues or behind people cycling and people cycling are kept safe. You get safer cycling, faster transit, quieter streets, and a city that actually works

"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'" -Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

On Nov. 28, 1895, 6 vehicles set off from Jackson Park in the U.S.'s first automobile race. The course was 54.36 miles. The winning time: 10 hours and 23 minutes. Only two cars finished. 130 years later, I'm celebrating the anniversary by biking the route. It's time to race some cars!

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today
