why hasn't chicago root out aldermanic prerogative???

Remember

genuinely so disappointed by this decision. Gardiner fell prey to the NIMBY nonsensical rationale at the public meeting with no regards for much needed revitalization that *everyone at the meeting wanted*

Tony’s live thread of last night’s 45th Ward meeting regarding 48 new homes next to a Metra station is a must read 🍿

Thank you Tony for supporting 48 new homes next to a Metra station! Reading through the thread, this meeting looks like it had all NIMBY bingo card hits

i am at a packed developer meeting in jim gardiner's 45th ward regarding the edgebrook development on lehigh & devon avenue. this is gonna be interesting (live thread to continue)

Alright, as promised my article on Evanston's Monday "Envision Evanston 2045" comprehensive plan meeting is live. If the headline seems literally unbelievable it's only because nobody bothers to understand the words they say. medium.com/@chitranspla...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

after 65 months, CTA rail operations are back to full pre-pandemic staffing levels!

that is in fact, not terminal 2

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

there is a guy in the student lounge yapping about urban planning to a goth girl

Where are my IL Energy policy nerds at? Talk nerdy to me about batteries and shit

we should give everyone one nuke, just as a treat

I sent a letter of support to the City of Chicago Zoning Committee about the Broadway corridor upzoning. If it passes, it will increase the zoned housing capacity of the corridor by over 15,000 homes! You should too: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

the Big Flag industry should lobby for puerto rico and DC statehood so that millions are forced to buy new flags

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

CHICAGOOOOOOO SUPREMACY

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

Sure whatever. 25% tariff on eating ice cream on a hot day next. 50% tariff on petting a dog. 35% tariff on the sound of children laughing. 10% tariff on the smell of flowers. 15% tariff on the cold side of the pillow. And another 25% on China, why not.

the local Twink industry is being decimated by foreign Twinks entering the USA. i am authorizing the Department of Commerce to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all foreign Twinks coming into our Country. WE WANT MORE AMERICAN TWINKS, AGAIN!

windy street of hanoi ❤️

rest in peace pope francis, but who would be the funniest replacement? cupcakke? nikki minaj?

There's no more oppressed group in society than Nicholas Decker.

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

glorious all hail the CTA

the shit fountain!!!!

HOLY SHIT I LOVE RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE

if you squint hard enough, you'll see the letters T-R-U-M-P
