Image of Illinois State Capital at Springfield with overlaid text that reads "Urgent: Ranked choice voting has passed in 3 Illinois municipalities, but implementation is stalled without state action. SB2004 would provide needed clarity to local clerks on how to implement ranked choice voting for local elections in local municipalities that choose to do so.

This is to get donor-class travelers complaining to their reps to restore DHS funding, under the assumption they prefer fascism to waiting a few extra minutes in line. It's important to contact them and demand the opposite—keep blocking funds until there are major changes for ICE/CBP/DHS

Sweden squeaked by USA 6-5 in mixed doubles curling 🥌 🧹 for the Gold. Still fun watching Cory and Korey take home the Silver 🥈 #Olympics

That’s already banned you knuckleheads.

I’ve reported unshoveled sidewalks on multiple occasions and the 311 request will sit there for a couple of weeks and then get closed with no action. Do other folks have different experiences?

What do you mean by rightsizing electrical and plumbing requirements? Are they excessive rn?

This is why it is important that protests remain disciplined and peaceful - the regime wants an excuse to send in the troops or cancel elections

The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it.

Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.

Emergency Triad: Another American Has Been Murdered by Our Government It’s worse than it looks and it looks plenty bad.

“The federal government is no longer bound by law. If agents of the state may kill people in public without being investigated; if they have—again, per VP Vance—“absolute immunity” from prosecution then we are living in an authoritarian regime.”

Our country was founded on protesting unjust laws.

Stephen Miller accuses ICE victim of being a domestic terrorist

The man shot in Minneapolis today.
Renee Good.
Gov Walz and Mayor Frey.
A woman recording ICE in Maine.

All domestic terrorists according to the Trump regime. It’s a lie. A big, authoritarian lie.

In hindsight Bears should’ve kicked the Field Goals. Would’ve won the game without OT

The setbacks even for RT-4 are overkill

YouTube video by About Here North America's Elevator Problem

The United States has the fewest elevators in the rich world, with Canada only a bit ahead. We teamed up with @uytaelee.bsky.social of About Here Videos to investigate why, exactly, North America sucks at elevators.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

And he did better than like 1/2 the QBs in the NFL currently. Amazing what is possible when you can read defenses and adjust plays…almost a lost art now

I opened a few 311 snow removal >2 weeks ago and they haven’t been touched #CityThatDoesntWork #Chicago

You roll into Ohare one week before Christmas and cause chaos in the rideshare lot for only one reason and it's not to keep people safe.

Took Brightline for the first time, the platforms are crazy wide

This Coco is off-track

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

Always love Chicago Union Station during the holidays

Here's my favourite way of visualising this 👇

(🔴L) The 15 min catchment of your station by foot.
(🔵R) The 15 min catchment of your station by bike.

Hundreds, thousands more potential passengers to sustain the railway. All within grasp, by providing bike parking and the routes to get there. 🚲🚆

Sure sounds like current board members are actively trying to sabotage the hard-fought #RevenuesAndReform of SB2111 through an amendatory veto.

We're not done yet: call @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office and tell him to sign SB2111 **as-is**!

The people who love/must drive should be the biggest advocates of non-motorized modes.

The more cars are taken off the road, the faster they will go. It’s not magic, just common sense.

Only 1% of @illinoisdot.bsky.social headcount is focused on public transport, shows where the priorities lie
