It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.
Your attendance is requested at City Hall!
At 10am on October 14th, the Zoning Committee will vote on the Broadway Land Use Framework, allowing thousands of new homes to be built next to four brand-new Red Line stations. 🏘️🤝🚇

There is a memorial in the median of Ashland at Hubbard, a terrifying intersection to cross on foot or by bike.
There are no curb bump-outs, concrete medians, or traffic signals at this intersection, despite multiple protected bike lanes and greenways leading to it.
