NYPD and Columbia University still believe aggression can overcome those demanding justice. It’s a strategy that seldom works out in the short term and never in the long term. #ColumbiaUniversityProtest

I love a good sub-tweet. As long as the goal is to wrap a great idea in bureaucracy and aldermanic control I’ll be there to stand up against it. Thankfully the majority of my colleagues had my back.

These disses are so weak you make J. Cole look savage. Do better.

Now People’s Gas says their hydrogen alternative wouldn’t work even with the cast iron pipes they’re installing. That we’d have to redo their infrastructure all over again. It’s good to know there’s a plan for tearing up our streets in perpetuity.

Hey @PeoplesGasCHI stop pretending the CABO ordinance is about going all electric. If these energy sources you describe are as low emission as you say they’re permitted by this ordinance.

I love hearing People’s Gas go on about “consumer choice,” the notion that you have to be able to choose things that are unhealthy for ourselves and our families. It’s like if we had to give you the choice of a lead service line for your water.

I love folks who support decarbonization as long as it means burning the same amount of fossil fuels, but I think they’re missing what the “carbon” part of that word refers to.

We throw around starvation very cavalierly when it comes to Gaza. This is what starvation looks like, times hundreds of thousands. nytimes.com/2024/03/09/wor…

From the unanimous Appellate Court ruling validating @BringChiHome: “The holding of an election for the purpose of passing a referendum…is a step in the legislative process in the enactment of that ordinance. Courts do not and cannot interfere with the legislative process.”

An appellate court has sided with the Chicago Board of Elections in the case against the Bring Chicago Home referendum. "The judgment of the circuit court of Cook County is vacated and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss the complaint for want of jurisdiction."

Loved joining @repdeliaramirez @AnthonyJQuezada and so many others in endorsing @m_spyropoulos for Clerk of the Circuit Court. Four years of incompetence and corruption is four years too much. Very excited for new leadership for our courts!

We will continue to organize relentlessly for #BringChicagoHome. They can’t scare us or take away our will to fight for dignified housing for all in our city. We will fight in court and we will be at the doors. BCH is on the ballot still. Tell everyone you know to go vote.

And you (of all people?) know that the ruling is being appealed and the appeals process will determine how the votes are tallied. This will all amount to an unsuccessful effort to suppress the vote. But kudos for reading past the headline.
