Illinois people - please join one or all of these virtual meetings to tell IDOT to prioritize transit, biking, and walking over automobility.

The truth!👇

how progressive is your care, exactly, if you offer COOLSCULPTING to make women thinner, alongside your gynecological services????! jfc

currently feeling very sorry for myself, re: not having a fireplace

The October Chicago CriticalMass bicycle ride falls on Oct. 31 HALLOWEEN!! 🎃 6PM Daley plaza.

ultimately, zohran mamdani is a reminder that politicians can be younger than 80 years old

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths: "It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die." "[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

GIVE US GOOD TRAINS!!!!!!

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

The best part of a friend's wedding is when you get to learn the fuck ass middle name their parents gave them

Don't forget what Carlos Ramirez-Rosa took from you. Milwaukee Avenue will have dangerous doorzone bike lanes from Logan Blvd to Belmont. And because of the concrete curb extensions, it will be very expensive to retrofit PBLs in the future. All because a small amount of people wanted more parking

see you there!

Support bike lanes on Armitage, give feedback on the South Shore Lane, and let me know what you think about the Crosstown Trail! tinylilactionschicago.substack.com/p/june-2025-...

You shouldn’t need a GoFundMe to survive cancer. You shouldn’t work 40+ hours and still be poor. You shouldn’t die waiting for healthcare in the richest country on Earth. This ain’t radical. It’s righteous. It’s time to fight for what we deserve: single-payer healthcare.
