I couldn't see that far when I was there.

When did Metra add “there is a passenger intercom (request?) from the B end of car 6xxx” announcements? Where is that intercom button?

“A JV of the Reinsdorf & Wirtz families that co-own the United Center, the…project has been touted as privately funded and the potential property tax break was not discussed as the project sailed through the city’s zoning process a year ago w/o resistance.” www.chicagobusiness.com/politics-pol...

Human-driven clankers damage things too. abc7chicago.com/post/chicago.... Can AV bots/street vehicles be programmed over time to be significantly safer and cause less damage than human-driven vehicles? If so, do we tolerate such bot mishaps w/out banning like we tolerate human driving mishaps now?

The crash that killed Violet Harris is one of THREE crashes that happened here just in 2026

We need to do something about drivers.

Yesterday I grabbed coffee with @drakewarren.bsky.social and @katmabu.bsky.social at The Common Cup in Rogers Park. This campaign cycle has put a spotlight on some great leadership. I look forward to building coalition with champs like these!

Chicago, we deserve mayors who actually have a vision for the future of the city. Anne Hidalgo has transformed Paris, and Emmanuel Grégoire has outlined a clear vision to build on that transformation. We have to break our city free from the shackles of division and shortsightedness.

We need to build more homes so we can use more stone so we can get the McCook TARP reservoir phase 2 done sooner. (phase 2 would nearly triple the reservoir capacity but it's an active quarry that needs to sell all the stone in quarry first)

Want to support the BUILD plan and keep Illinois affordable? Sign the support letter! actionnetwork.org/letters/pass...

I keep seeing these takes like, "we don't have a ebike problem but an emoto problem," and my response is we have neither problem and the problem is actually cars.

E-motos in the Chicago suburbs The owners of these were teens and they helped each other lift them into the high floor Metra trains

It's time to build, Illinois.

Good thread and good coverage here. The Assessor's office has borne so much of the brunt of public outrage over rising residential property tax bills, despite the fact that the office is only one small (and theoretically fairly technical) part of the ecosystem that collectively sets those totals.

Excited to talk Single Stair reform with the awesome folks from @abundanthousingil.bsky.social. its going to be a great discussion 🙌

This is why we need to the BUILD plan

200 letters sent already 😍 Can we hit 400 today? 🥺

Chicago needs RCV. We're strategizing. Come learn our plans and meet fellow democracy reformers at our Northside Chicago Chapter Meeting on Thursday, March 26 from 6-7pm. RSVP at www.fairvoteillinois.org/events #Chicago #ChicagoIllinois #ChicagoPolitics #Illinois #IllinoisPolitics #Politics

ohhh the CTA just sued the USG re: not passing along the money for RLE and RPM

Drake Warren: "This campaign was shaped by the hands of hundreds of people who made our victory possible,” Warren said in an emailed statement. “I will strive to honor their work and to be a public servant worthy of those I have the privilege to serve." www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/18/c...

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

If you like well-designed floor plans, cross-ventilation, family-sized units, and safe buildings, this webinar is for you! 😌

unlock more housing in Illinois through “BUILD” & take a moment to edit the subject line and body

rip to a real one, he just wanted to make assessments work fairly

Lake Michigan would absolutely blow the minds of the Fremen

I’ll be the co-host of the April 3rd event, at CAM (And Marz Brewing is donating drinks!)

Illinois State Senate D6 Sara Feigenholtz 21,326 (55.79%) Nick Uniejewski 16,901 (44.21%) I think some of these precinct results could embolden challengers for other offices… michaelmclean.me/illinois-dem...

How can CDOT can argue multiple pedestrian and cyclist injuries and a fatality are “typical” in any way? Callous engineer speak. I’ve also never seen a crash analysis that doesn’t bother with injury severity and identifying fatalities, which they missed. This is sloppy and hard to take seriously.

Our March housing happy hour is next week! We look forward to seeing you in Evanston on Tuesday, March 24. 🏘️ www.eventbrite.com/e/abundant-h...

I think I'm gonna be mad about this forever, actually

Congratulations to the 10 AHIL-endorsed candidates who won their Illinois primary races! 🥳🏘️
