I want sb2111 to pass for the dumbest reasons you can ever imagine (amongst other better reasons)

FFUUUUCCCCKKK YOOOUUUUU JJJJBBBB

I am AMAZED by how many Chicagoans don't know what a livery plate is...

Do you love the Chicago Public Library? Do you not want to wait weeks for books? Do you still want to be able to go to programs? Send a letter to electeds ! In the budget, Brandon Johnson is proposing 89 cuts to positions, and cutting our book budget in half. actionnetwork.org/letters/no-l...

Fucking boo.

I keep forgetting my whistle at home and that's why my voice is shot rn

Feel free to DM and I can point you to orgs

If you have more privilege and wealth and haven't done much rn, please support hard-hit nhoods and support the work being done by frontline orgs. Southwest Side nhoods are on the streets daily trying to keep their neighborhoods safe. Rapid responders across the city unpaid but doing the work.

those empty streets are rahm emanuel's fault, it's honestly amazing the greasy streaks that man's tiny little hands left on our history

THEY ARE STILL STAGING IN THIS AREA. PEOPLE NEED TO FLOOD THIS ZONE.

ICE is using the empty streets around Lincoln Yards to stage their abductions. They're patrolling in individual and groups of SUVs and then moving people into passenger vans to transport to Broadview. Scream in their face and watch them scurry out of their holes like roaches.

I gave $50 to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, who wants to match me?

If this pisses you off: 1. Figure out how you can actively support a rapid response network 2. Get 5 of your privileged friends to actively support a rapid response network 3. Donate to @unraveledpress.com unraveledpress.com/support-unra...

This mfer pulled me over and asked me if I was a us citizen.

ICE is absolutely crawling all over west ridge, Uptown, buena Park right now. In groups of two vehicles. Usually SUV. Sometimes pickup truck.

Damn, when a federal judge says people should retain faith in the judicial system ***for just a little longer***. We're cooked.

Chance no cloth/fabric face masks gets added to the TRO???

I love the little dopamine hit I get whenever I see a bench we made getting used somewhere in the neighborhood. My favorite is when I notice them getting moved around.

Promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors is literally what Pritzker is doing in Broadview....

Just watched someone off the street thank a DHS agent for their "service" in Ravenswood. Fuckkkkk thaaat.

“They literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.” This is 100% an accurate description of how this started. Broadview PD mishandled the situation from the start, then unleashed ISP to beat the protesters they’d led into the street.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

It's clear that some people think that only those who "work hard" and pay taxes deserve dignity.

Camera discourse again, yay! Proponents of the proliferation of traffic cameras (that record 24/7 btw) have never done crime or crime-adjacent things in the public realm and it shows. Not that I've done crime or crime-adjacent things in the public realm. I just don't wanna live in the panopticon!

Literally even federal judges don't trust DHS statements.

Call @govpritzker.illinois.gov and tell him to call off the Illinois State Police from assisting ICE. This is a violation of the intent of the TRUST Act. Pritzker Phone: 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

should I publish this?

honestly whats even the point of working for a fintech company anymore...

What an absolute embarrassment for our city. Shame on Lopez, Sposato, Gardiner, and Napolitano.

Wake up babe, we're putting bikes on bikes.

Love seeing a low flying helicopter overhead in a dense city with its ads-b transmitter turned off. The colors made me think CBP but I can't tell for sure.

I take some pleasure in knowing that Robert Moses is rotting in hell.

We're on the nextgen acela, next stop, marginally faster train service. GOSH SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

Chicago is the best small town in America. [current conditions in Andersonville 48th ward]

Chicago is the best small town in America.

aldermanic offices in downtown chicago have started to pass out "checkpoint passes" this is a xenophobic reaction to Mexican Independence Day car caravan parades in Chicago backed by Chicago Police and the Mayor's Office

Illinois electeds: if you come for my people you'll have to come through me Also Illinois electeds:

People often ask me what I do for work. What I do is cash paychecks.

We're talking about speed cams again. Let's not expand our mass surveillance network (cams record 24/7, legislators could stop that) and build safer streets (legislators could fund that). But, 55% of drivers who get a warning in Chicago don't ever get a fine. 46% who get a fine never get a second.

I walked down Milwaukee from Damen to Ashland and back and ran into 15 people I know. I don't even live in this neighborhood!!! Chicagoans YEARN for open streets.

I talked to @leighgiangreco.bsky.social a few years ago about how dangerous state roads are. "Of the 30 sites with the most crashes in Chicago, all but one included a state road..." IDOT is asleep at the wheel. CDOT, step up and build a network of safe city streets. stateline.org/2022/12/08/s...

Gotta take my baby in for a clean with @babski.bsky.social, it's been too long. Also I found my favorite film stock, cinestill 400D.

I can't wait for the AI bubble to POP.

Doing some preventative maintenance 🫡🫡🫡
