Chicago transport, bikes, walking, zoning, biz, but no guarantee we won’t talk about something else. Don’t take all posts literally. Also Fediverse/Threads: chicagotransportassociation@threads.net

This can only happen because Democrats did not take seriously the threat of Republicans dismantling democracy. They should realize we demand justice for all the illegal things that have occurred in this admin.

The far NW side will have a freak out and I personally would love that

Hundreds packed into Chicago's Federal Plaza this evening in protest of the U.S.-Israeli massacre in Iran.

It’s frankly embarrassing that the city does this.

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today.

Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.

Maybe if we give the Bears money that will help

The Indiana Bears? Why an interstate move for a cherished NFL team may work out An exit from Soldier Field could lead the Bears across state lines. But it could help revive a once thriving area and the team would still be in most fans’ orbit

Wow, the Bears might as well have written this @us.theguardian.com editorial. It fails to understand that Chicago doesn’t have to put up with this. They’re billionaires and Chicago and Illinois should not subsidize them.

Hot take: build more and better public transport so that taking a Waymo is worse

Sometimes, I go for a needless trip outside just to see other people in the neighborhood. Imagine how boring it is to have everything delivered to you all the time

800 units in a very in demand area is great for the city!

We need to lure the Lucas Museum back!

I won't be attending the State of the Union address.

I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

Hey @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov an idea:
When asked why they are not attending, Democrats should reply: “We do not treat a lawless autocrat who attacks our democracy, demonstrates contempt for Congress, and covers up for pedophiles like a normal president.”

We did this all wrong. Should have kicked the Bears out and built the Lucas Museum within the stadium

They’ve gone into hiding, but are still regularly ignoring the constitution.

No Kings on March 28. Find one near you.

Just a reminder that @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov should have massive changes in how DHS operates before funding them

Good news, Chicago! You’re busy March 28 and your job is to bring everyone you know with!

The best part about the West Loop is that there aren’t people who have lived there “for decades” telling you that other people also shouldn’t live there. I’m sure they try, but it doesn’t have the same strength to the alderman as an old timer

The Indiana Bears? It's one step closer to reality. Indiana lawmakers moved legislation Thursday to build an NFL stadium in Hammond.

The Bears can leave — and don’t let the door hit you on the way out

If Indiana wants to give billionaires money, the people of Indiana deserve to be fleeced

Yes, if that’s your beat I suppose. Otherwise, I always find it odd to see people claim no thoughts on any topic

Ironically, local journalists would probably not get involved, whatever their personal feelings, due to refusal to have opinions or something

Hold strong on the DHS budget, @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov.

They won’t even allow an impartial look at this while you’re determining their budget. Why would they become fair later?

Yes!!! We need state level action because local action always fails due to NIMBYism

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔
