The sw side is making the news this month. Unfortunately it’s because of all the high-speed crashes on our major streets. Eight crashes over a roughly eight-week span, with 25% of the people involved dead. Please pray for the families grieving a loss; they need strength and support right now.

Everyone needs to shit, sit, sprinkle, and sleep. Public benches. Public restrooms. Public housing.

My favorite piece at the aic ❤️

That these five council members stood up for data centers on the dais on the same day this article came out is kind of funny but ultimately moot because these findings are irrelevant in the CMs' analysis. arstechnica.com/ai/2026/04/g...

We don't talk enough about how valid someone's driving is as a reason to discontinue a relationship.

Surely this is AI generated. No way a city would ever put a disgusting highway right next to their beautiful lakefront. Surely.

I wear this badge with pride

Our seniors should be able to cross the street without fear of losing their life

Here’s your “relief at the pump”

This is going to be the prettiest bike lane in Chicago. Especially when the parking lot it's next to is used as a ped-only plaza! Make infrastructure that's safe AND a delight to use!

How do I find more videos like this? Please tell me there's a subreddit

Bikers when they see another biker: 🥳 Drivers when they see another driver: 🤬

Some people won't be happy until every single train is completely packed with cops.

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

I think when MWRD stops updating the reservoir status, which I think is usually hourly-ish, that just means we're dumping raw sewage into the river.

Rip to chicago

Drivers should be tolled for every block of Greenway they drive on. These streets could be soooo much prettier and safer if we got drivers off of them and onto the arterials.

Stay tf out.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

Can't wait for Summer in the Greatest City in the Whole World ™️

The guy who personally profits from a computer telling your kids to kill themselves wants to re-write the laws that could hold him liable for those deaths.

The ChatGPT-maker testified in favor of an Illinois bill that would limit when AI labs can be held liable—even in cases where their products cause “critical harm.” www.wired.com/story/openai...

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Open the bathrooms!!! Open more slots for summer programs!!!

In earnest I say!!

Reminder that almost a quarter century ago, Schumer voted for the Hague Invasion Act, declaring that the US would militarily invade the Hague were it ever to be prosecuted by ICC for war crimes. Biden did too, it was an overwhelmingly bipartisan agreement to be unaccountable to international law.

C.R.E.A.M. (cars ruin everything around me)

We first unmasked (or not—Donahue never actually covers his face) two CBP agents in November at great personal risk as two reporters who have been repeatedly targeted by the feds, including with assaults and arrest. Since then, more and more outlets have felt comfortable naming agents:

most white non-Arab people in the US, including most leftists and even people who are very politically active and aware, have basically no concept of the level of surveillance, harassment, and institutionalized Islamophobia and hate that Arab and Muslim ppl face in this country

Oh so now copyright matters.

Oh so we're replacing bikes... Not cars.... Greaaat great great

Love putting in an offer 30k over asking on a two flat and still losing. There were 23 other offers! Absolute joke if you don't think we need to build more housing or don't need to protect multi-unit housing from de-conversions.

you’re using ChatGPT to come up with a business plan for your restaurant? you are already out of business

Why not make this apply retroactively? Why not prohibit any federal immigration detention centers anywhere in the state??

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

Chicago: you know how Mayor Johnson just yesterday vetoed City Council's freeze of the already planned increase in subminimum wages to tipped workers? Illinois' legislature is trying to make these kind of increases in wages *illegal*. To make a Witness Slip to oppose, use the link in this post:

There should only be two types of interactions with these mfers. "hey do you know where they'll be holding the Nuremberg trials this time around?" Or "fuck you."

We need better Dems.

tech companies and politicians are pushing for age verification laws under the guise of protecting children but are really using them to surveil you and sell your data.

the illinois house judiciary committee yesterday voted 13-7, with all dems in favor, to advance a bill to require operating systems on electronic devices to confirm a user’s age—a serious threat to digital privacy that follows similar efforts across the u.s. it next heads to the house floor.

Why are white people allergic to accountability? Yes you’re a bad person if you support someone who is actively hateful.

Tent so big you could open a concentration camp in there

You'll never guess where the "backlash" to reperations is coming from

Project Hail Mary was absolutely gorgeous in 70mm at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social

Michael Sacks wrote this @chicagotribune op-ed to defend his support of AIPAC super PACs in Chicago Congressional primaries. I asked Sacks, a billionaire & Democratic megadonor, for comment before I reported his contributions Monday. Got no reply. (1/9) www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/24/o...
