I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

12/10 go biking and run into an amazing alder biking around on a Divvy!

Chicago, Edgewater, Andersonville.. the best and coolest places in the world have some of the best and coolest people in the world 🌎 >> @viktorkoves.com <<

People who think Democrats are too woke and radical now control all three branches of government, the institutional apparatus of the Democratic Party and all major media outlets. Stop fucking congratulating each other for saying it!

It’s also worth emphasizing that the Census has changed the way it asks people about race. As such, some people who previously would call themselves Black or white now call themselves two or more race on Census responses. So some of the decline may simply be a shifting of categories.

CDOT just installed new bike parking at Promontory Point! We worked with the Alderman to bring this much needed amenity to the Point. Just in time for this beautiful weather.

The claim that ICE only goes after criminals is a lie. Their net catches green card holders, valid visa holders, legal asylum seekers, and American citizens. If playing by the rules still gets you put in a cage, the system isn’t broken; it’s fascist.

Good things can happen when Chicago-area electeds experience transit in Europe

A beautiful piece about the Pedway, the oft-forgotten and fascinating web of underground tunnels that connects downtown Chicago.

I may never fully recover from my week-long experience of Switzerland’s clean, reliable, and safe, high-frequency, bus and train system.

We can change infrastructure and we can pass laws. But until we change our culture on how we share our streets, and until driving behavior changes, we will unfortunately see more deaths like this. RIP to these children

And shout out to @andrefor40th.bsky.social, @leniann.bsky.social, and Ald. Matt Martin, whose wards all had new protected bike lanes we used today!

I am tired of having to vote our way out of this, but I assure people the alternative is worse Get involved in local politics. Understand how to utilize primaries

Just got a message from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights: they plan to hold a presser today at 2 pm outside the domestic violence court over ICE presence at Cook County courthouses. ICIRR claims ICE sighted today at four separate county courthouses.

The city’s Department of Planning and Development will ask the Commission on Chicago Landmarks to approve a preliminary designation to create the Bryn Mawr Avenue Landmark District.

Donald Trump is slapping his face on everything from passports to coins. But here are things he won’t put his name on: 15 million Americans losing health coverage Gas prices at a 4-year high Tariffs costing families $2,500 Trump wants his face on everything but accountability.

Silverio Villegas González was killed in Franklin Park by an out-of-control secret police that has been kidnapping and harming families in our communities across the country. Illinois State Police has said it will launch an investigation into what happened. chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/0...

We can’t nominate any Democrat who doesn’t put Supreme Court reform at the top of their list.

Hadden @aldermanmattmartin.social @leniann.bsky.social participating in the Loyola picket today!!! 💪✊👏 www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

Two new Divvy stations installed in Roseland and Pullman yesterday 🚲 - MLK Dr & 111th St - Cottage Grove Ave & 107th St More stations means shorter walks, better coverage, and a system people can actually rely on for daily trips. We’re continuing to build out the network where it matters most.

A room full of the most powerful people in politics and media presumed they were being attacked by an active shooter. They dove under tables and texted loved ones. They feared for their lives. And somehow, not a damn thing will be done by them to push for gun reform tomorrow morning. America.

Illinois bill would stop publishers from charging libraries more than public for e-books and audiobooks

These are real photos at the press conference in White House after the alleged assassination attempt. Does this look like people who just survived that type of trauma?!

Holy Moly! Absolutely crazy last couple hours in my neighborhood. A hospital patient took a cop’s gun and shot 2 officers, killing one and the other is in critical condition. The shooter took off naked into a residential area and they found him hiding in someone’s house 500 feet away from me.

A butterfly vigil was held today, the one year anniversary of Virginia's suicide. She was a warrior for the Epstein survivors sisters & so many victims around our nation who did not receive justice. Thank you Virginia & I hope you are at peace. 🦋 www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

TODAY: Join our May Day training call to learn about the many ways you can tap into the nationwide day of economic disruption. We will also dig into the strategy behind economic noncooperation and discuss why we’re taking action now.

Happy Earth Day from the 22 🌎

“If you see rents that are going down, they’re in markets like Nashville and Austin where they built a ton of product,” said Curt Bailey, president of Related Midwest. “That’s really the only way to keep rents down.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Today, the Chicago City Council approved the Broadway Land Use Framework via voice vote with no objections. 😌🎉🏘️ AHIL member Josh was in attendance to celebrate the win with @leniann.bsky.social 😊

Guys who have read All About Love in public to get laid, this should be your next read

We have endorsed four congressional candidates, all of whom support an aggressive oversight agenda for the soon-to-be Democratic Congress next year: indivisible.org/resources/ca...

It’s time for people to choose their leaders, not corporations. In Minnesota, it’s the many versus the money. I’m betting on us.

Donald fired Pam Bondi for one reason and one reason only: she didn't do enough to cover up for him. And she really tried.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

The Supreme Court just gutted conversion therapy bans across America 8 to 1. The court just gave the green light to a practice the United Nations calls torture.

Bruce: "Federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis and of Minnesota was an inspiration to the entire country. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America."

Gorgeous look at the #NoKings demonstration in Savannah via @savindivisible.bsky.social

Walz: Welcome to the freest state in the nation—a state where you love who you choose to love, a state where you make your own healthcare decisions, a state where you worship—or not—according to your own beliefs, and maybe most importantly, a state where everyone belongs.

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊

This is Harold Washington Library State and Van Buren

I was proud to stand with so many Illinoisans today to say: NO KINGS! We will not bend the knee to a wannabe dictator, and we will hold Donald Trump accountable. Let’s keep making our voices heard!

The 48th Ward community showed up strong for No Kings Day!

No Kings More Queens 🏳️‍🌈 Just a few pics from today’s rally in Edgewater, Chicago. Thank you neighbors for turning out ❤️

Omar: Just a couple of weeks ago, they told us that they blew up a drug trafficking camp in Ecuador and it turned out to be a dairy farm.
