Our democracy was founded, in part on protest. Fast forward to the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s; peaceful demonstrations led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., changed the fabric of our nation. Peaceful protests are a central principle of our democracy and students standing…
This is a critical moment. The way we’ve been doing things has left Chicagoans and our entire region in the lurch — 3 competing agencies, a lack of public accountability and oversight, and service that has failed to meet the moment and needs of the people.

There is a deep psychic and visceral connection that binds countless people from diverse backgrounds to the gruesome oppression of Palestinians and to the enabling indifference to it shown by so many North American and European observers. A must-read. thetriibe.com/2024/04/gaza-a…

Nashville saw a deadly school shooting a little over a year ago and instead of passing gun violence prevention legislation, Tennessee Republicans did this. Shameful. Such a failure to the children and families of that state.

They want $2 billion+ of public money… for add-ons to a stadium in which a football team that hasn’t won a championship in nearly 40 years plays eight regular season games a year… games that are too expensive for most of their fanbase to attend… Yeah it’s a no for me dog

Literally hundreds of Chicagoans lost their livelihoods with 0 notice today. The existence of one bad thing does not negate another bad thing. Rent’s about due and people gotta eat. It’s a big deal.

Real talk: I don’t think the CTA board needs to be made up of all “transportation experts,” and clergy being on the board is fine. I’d rather “experts” be busy running the system, and a board of regular riders of a variety of backgrounds who will hold the agency accountable.

Yesterday, in Chicago, there were Palestinians present at a police board hearing to push for the firing of the CPD officers who killed Dexter Reed, a Black man. A lot of big news never report on solidarity and people who say solidarity doesn't exist never show up to shit.
Kinda hard to see outrage from way out where Paul lives. @GKMC18 and many others just participated in a vigil honoring Ariana’s life🕊️ Why does Paul, failed mayoral candidate, keep pitting mass shootings against police shootings by saying “no outrage”? There is always outrage.

1 hour. That's how long a CTA employee sat in the driver seat of their bus before being found unconscious. They later died. I looked into what happened that night and how a stalled bus, that missed over 50 scheduled stops, never raised any red flags. blockclubchicago.org/2024/04/17/dea…
At one Illinois prison, inmates filter black, oily water using T-shirts or other means, advocates say in a petition to the U.S. EPA. chicago.suntimes.com/environment/20…
Thinking of my man @Teeghman this morning
The attorney representing Dexter Reed’s family said at a press conference today that these were plain clothed officers in an unmarked car who did not identify themselves as police.
The attorney representing Dexter Reed’s family said at a press conference today that these were plain clothed officers in an unmarked car who did not identify themselves as police.
The video of Reed being killed shows the fears of parents and youth; recently there was a gun found at a local high school, one that voted out SRO’s; security was able to de-escalate the situation, no one was shot, no one was hurt. Prayers.
Im remembering the restraint CPD used for the rooftop Nazi last May. Remember that guy? He shot at police had a flamethrower and caused a violent spectacle. CPD did not move on him for hours. They did not shoot at him 97 times. He was white. They negotiated.

lol it's not lost on me that more arrests are being made at these college campuses than on January 6th. 🤷🏿♀️
There’s going to be many op-eds in November wondering why the Democrats lost the youth vote and I doubt any of them come to the conclusion that it’s probably because their police forces beat the shit out of them for protesting genocide
All this for unarmed students.

Our democracy was founded, in part on protest. Fast forward to the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s; peaceful demonstrations led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., changed the fabric of our nation. Peaceful protests are a central principle of our democracy and students standing…
This is a critical moment. The way we’ve been doing things has left Chicagoans and our entire region in the lurch — 3 competing agencies, a lack of public accountability and oversight, and service that has failed to meet the moment and needs of the people.
We were proud to stand alongside @senvillivalam, @DelgadoRep, and a broad coalition of transportation, environmental, civic, and community organizations today as they announced the introduction of the Metropolitan Mobility Authority Act.
That political party absolutely doesn't want large-scale protests and disruptions to continue in Illinois leading to its arrival. The state is a party stronghold and the inability to contain protests will reflect poorly on the governor and mayor, especially in the eyes of Biden.
The DNC in Chicago is going to be nuts.

I wonder how it'll play in an election year when, as the cost of living explodes everywhere, both parties agreed to send a military aid package worth $9,090 for every household in Israel. All of it with no strings attached even as mass graves are being discovered.
Nashville saw a deadly school shooting a little over a year ago and instead of passing gun violence prevention legislation, Tennessee Republicans did this. Shameful. Such a failure to the children and families of that state.
Tennessee Republicans just cut off debate and passed a bill to arm teachers in our schools. The public chanted “Blood on your hands!” as the Speaker ordered troopers to clear the gallery. This is what fascism looks like.
They want $2 billion+ of public money… for add-ons to a stadium in which a football team that hasn’t won a championship in nearly 40 years plays eight regular season games a year… games that are too expensive for most of their fanbase to attend… Yeah it’s a no for me dog
The Chicago Bears are set to announce their plans for a new enclosed stadium on the lakefront with taxpayer help — but the team will have to overcome serious skepticism from several directions. trib.al/PZ6BoUI
Literally hundreds of Chicagoans lost their livelihoods with 0 notice today. The existence of one bad thing does not negate another bad thing. Rent’s about due and people gotta eat. It’s a big deal.
Is it me or does it seem like more folks are outraged over a store closure than a police officer murdered last weekend, the mass shooting that nearly wiped out an entire family, two weekends ago,….
Real talk: I don’t think the CTA board needs to be made up of all “transportation experts,” and clergy being on the board is fine. I’d rather “experts” be busy running the system, and a board of regular riders of a variety of backgrounds who will hold the agency accountable.
@itskylelucas Yeah I think someone like a pastor can be very well connected to the community and maybe has a pulse on underserved transit areas. I also am hesitant with the push for just "experts" bc I agree those that often know the most are just regular everyday riders.
I have seen so many people talk about select young voters and Biden 2024 who say they won’t vote/ don’t care if Trump gets re-elected and here is the context I think a lot of people are missing. Gen Z is a very politically unique generation. Saving Democracy is not as salient…
Happy Earth Day! Thank you to all the neighbors who came out to clean up our parks this past weekend, for all the work you do keep the 40th Ward clean and green.
