Most importantly, this investigation raises questions about the safety of CTA workers. But it also raises questions about the functionality of a system where a bus' failure to arrive at more than *50* scheduled stops goes unnoticed by supervisors. A must-read by @_ManuelRamos_:

Last July, Antia Lyons parked her bus in a CTA terminal, ready to start another route. She went into cardiac arrest. Despite not making stops, CTA didn’t check on her for nearly an hour - and won’t explain why. @_ManuelRamos_ on the @BlockClubCHI pod: tinyurl.com/yjyynkef

🚨Rally at the School Board: Stop the Carvalho Cuts 🚨 5/7 at 4:30 PM at the Van Nuys Civic Center Schools have had their budgets cut for next year— despite the fact that reserves are projected at $6.3 billion. We'll rally strong to reverse the cuts and fully fund our schools.

Indiana prisons charge $33 for an 8-inch fan. A similar one sells online for $23 at Lowe’s. In Georgia, where prison labor is unpaid, a 10-inch electric fan is marked up more than 25% to $32. In 2023, the Texas state & commissary vendor raised the price of water inside by 50%.
