The least surprising message to see from Greg Bovino to the agent that shot a woman 5 times without justification and proceeded to have the entire Trump administration lie repeatedly about it and then refuse to retract their lies when they were made bare in court and elsewhere. Trump is responsible.

😍 thank you @davidpowe.bsky.social, Divvy, and the crews that install & maintain the stations & fleet. a big deal for Pullman, Roseland, and the whole far south side. come down and see for yourself! the loop to old fashioned donuts at 113th/Michigan is now possible in 30 minutes via metra and divvy.

the criteria that @drakefor10.bsky.social proposes are so low bar. of course NITA board members should ride transit and have some kind of relevant expertise. hopefully these serve as a floor for every nominee to the NITA board by Pritzker, Preckwinckle, & Johnson. thanks for saying it Drake Warren!

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

I voted for Clayton Harris III because I think he’d be saying things like this if was turned to fascism, as many foresaw. Eileen Burke won that race by 0.02%. Too bad it didn’t go the other way!

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones." MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

"Ilhan Omar.... $34 million" ya say? "massive Monetary Fraud" ya sa? "no different than a really big Bank Robbery" ya say?

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

It’s worth reading the statement by Stacy Davis Gates of the @ctulocal1.bsky.social . I’ll be there at Emergency Protest to demand “ICE Out Of Everywhere!” – 1pm at Ida B Wells and Michigan Ave and hope to see you there www.ctulocal1.org/posts/a-time...

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

I’ve been (harassing) in a good natured way, I hope he agrees) davidpowe.bsky.social - who does a heroes work of communicating/promoting divvy expansion - about the absence of a divvy station at Kensington for the better part of a year now. But there’s an edivvy dock a block away! It’s a stop sign.

The new street design along 111th st west of the Pullman station is finally becoming legible- and holy shit talk about luxurious! Curb moved, wide enough to ride 4 abreat (2 in each dotection), fully selarated from peds. Only lasts a block or so though @slucy.bsky.social

Almost hit the deck walking past the not yet opened chick-fil-a on 53rd st. They’re not making money yet and only have new employees coming in, so I guess they aren’t going to pay to have their sidewalks shoveled.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

"What's the Tollway going to do with an extra ten billion dollars over the next decade?" I have a suggestion... #BuildTheTunnel

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino) to the Aurora Police following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests So here it is!

Chicago's mayor Brandon Johnson is a one-man bulwark against racism. A real Mensch. #humanity

“For more than an hour, residents screamed, videotaped and tailed federal vehicles, raucously honking horns to send the message: Their operation is not welcome here.”

As the days pass, we’re experiencing more and more direct material harm from the illegal federal occupation of Chicagoland. Gathering and preserving multiple independent archives of evidence is important. So will be carrying on these memories and telling these stories for generations to come.

arguably the angriest declarer in this 140 year history of people declaring baseball dead described playing the game this way - “unlimber the old soupbone come every April and toss the ol’ hosshide to and fro in a lively contest of one old cat.”

The situation of the federal government gratuitously and grotesquely terrorizing our communities with impunity is obviously untenable.

Adding "feds fucking choking a man in broad daylight" to the list. Absolute terror across Chicago today. Begging for national attention that matches the level of crisis on the ground here feels like screaming underwater at this point.

Cook 1. Never claimed her GA home as a primary residence on a mortgage app & 2. Never applied for a tax deduction for it as her home. It’s at least as bad as Watergate but reads today as warm up for just another nonsensical SCOTUS ruling defending the rule of tyrant www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

Is there an American city where Trump can walk a tenth of a mile without being called ‘the Hitler of our time’ (or worse)? Anyone stooging for him needs to get a fucking clue!

Our students, their parents and communities are under attack. Join the CTU contingent in the annual 26th Street Mexican Independence Day Parade on Sunday, September 14. We will meet at 11:00 a.m. and the parade steps off at 12:00 noon. R.S.V.P. here: www.ctulocal1.org/posts/event/...

Divvy has been- by far- the most transformative improvement to our car free mobility infrastructure in my 20+ years in Chicago. Hopefully part of this news includes installing divvy docks at south side metra electric stations on the main line south of 63rd. The lack of system integration maddens me.

I’m live air quality monitoring no kings Chicago and it’s remarkable that we can have 10s-100s or thousands of people converge on the regional center with virtually no impact on today’s (pretty good) air quality

Love the card! And support people purchasing it- IF they are also aware that they could save 5 bucks and use any contactless payment method on the CTA @chicagocta.bsky.social

Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

UNESCO has recognized the manuscripts of Brazilian abolitionist Luiz Gama (1830-1882), preserved at the Public Archive of the State of São Paulo, as a "world documentary heritage" www.unesco.org/en/articles/...

The state wherein you are again on the 8:20 ME and it is again delayed massively due to track work between van buren and 11th that Metra oversees but that Metra cannot be bothered to announce at boarding at millennium or van buren @onthemetra.bsky.social @starlinechicago.bsky.social
