Personal account of a grimly optimistic urbanist into transportation equity, land use economics, infrastructure, public policy, politics, sci-fi, & music. Implementor. Chicago enthusiast. Cat dad. I play 🎹 in a few bands. I contain multitudes.
How about: "There is no excuse for a sitting U.S. Senator to treat a veteran with anything less than the highest dignity. Resorting to physical violence against a man who served, exercising his first amendment rights, is a betrayal of the office and our national values. Shame on you, sir."
Absolutely.

Contact Your Senators, or drop Sen. Sheehy a note and let him know how this makes you feel.

The halftime show was great. Really puts all the propaganda in the ad spots into balance.
ICE terrorizes immigrant communities > immigrants can't work > labor is impacted > farms and factories "lease" (enslave) prisoners for workers > ICE trying to build large prison camps > plan to imprison thousands...
Are they planning to enslave people?
We should ban prisoner forced labor.
Where is the "Nazi punks fuck off!" button?
No thank you for the recommendation, Zuck!
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Apparently ICE tried to raid THE ECUADORIAN CONSULATE?!?!
These boneheads don't know that consulates are inviolable - meaning the host country authorities have no right to enter uninvited - per the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963.
I haven't been able to wrap my head around following substacks yet.
I can go on and read when I get a link, but I don't follow it...
I like it in concept but reminds me of LiveJournal or other early blog platforms that were useful for some but seemed like a limited audience.
Rubio only ordered the use of Time New Roman because Calibri is more compact making it harder to meet a page requirement for a report.

I think Christmas classic tunes are best treated with the natural ambient reverb of the great hall at Union Station.
The delayed Metra train that has me now waiting hours for the next Amtrak is no fun though. 🎄🚆
I made a perfect northbound L train double transfer. Purple to Red at Fullerton, and caught the Brown line train in front of the purple at Belmont. 🚝☘️😎
The CTA is with me today!
THE TAXPAYER FUNDED WHITEHOUSE.GOV SITE IS NO PLACE FOR RACIST, PARTISAN SATIRE BULLSHIT.

Also the Dems didn't shut down the government, the GOP - who has the majority - did.
Dear President Trump:
Please pay for your own travel & security if your activities are not for state business.
This includes GOP party business, rallies, parties, suppressing the Epstein files, and all legal proceedings against you and your business ventures.
STOP WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS!
Last year I bought a magnetic pop socket for like $10.
Just lost it and checked... they're like THIRTY BUCKS now!!!
Thanks Trump! Those tariffs are really sticking it to our enemies. 🙄
NOW HE IS LITERALLY DEMOLISHING THE WHITE HOUSE?
bridge is back down !
The Wells St bridge is raised apparently... Packed train is at a standstill. #NoKings
I love the small contingent of old ladies and children and families outside my CTA station, cheering on protestors headed downtown.

Headed back from a week's vacation... Anything happening in Chicago?
Did Pam Bondi really ask Adam Schiff if he went to law school in a congressional oversight committee hearing?
**Checks notes** ... Yes, Pam. He graduated Harvard Law School cum laude in 1985.
I'm on vacation and going to be trying to avoid the news. Especially politics. Self care is important .
Jesus Christ this administration can't stand data. 😡

These guys are claiming Kirk as a nazi.
I'm curious, from the right's perspective, is this unacceptable criticism, of the type that's getting liberals fired from their jobs, or is this honoring his legacy?
Not CPD.
Bridgeview Police and apparently they were helping them avoid protestors.
