👏👏👏 We couldn’t agree more!

When you take a transit vehicle with strangers, there is an inherent trust you're giving to one another. That trust in each other is so essential to the health of our larger society and our democracy.

When we start to drive people away and send messages that that shared space is not a place to be, you're going to see our institutions and our societal structures start to dismantle. I believe in CTA not just for Chicago, but really for our country.

I'm not on Facebook very often and didn't realize they autoplay long-form videos. I accidentally watched a 12 minute Business Insider piece about a glass recycling plant in Louisiana.

The dentist's office is playing the new season of Bake Off, which I haven't started yet, and I'm perhaps unreasonably upset about this. I hate spoilers!

Not sit down but I do like Tilly Bagel. Cafe Deko has incredible vibes, can't speak to their food. Both might be too far South for your needs.

I was collecting petition signatures for www.theteamfor17.com today. One of the reasons I like my crew is that they have been relentless in trying to get answers about CPD collaboration with ICE and great about championing community care and restorative justice.

Waymo is not a last-mile solution, nor a transit solution. And most certainly should not benefit from any of the transit funding we won in fighting for NITA. It is a car-centric proposal that offers no real systems change, shares all the same geometry, capacity, and environmental ills of cars.

Traffic is quite literally a public safety hazard. This traffic builds up everyday in Edgewater. It’s all from drivers trying to get on DLSD. We can’t keep this up. The only solution is making DLSD a boulevard.

Goals and ambitions may become impossible to achieve. Timelines and hopes for the future may be derailed. At scale, college sexual abuse is a systemic force to prevent women and marginalized victims from having the same opportunities, health, and happiness as predominantly male perpetrators.

I've bird dogged way too many politicians to be afraid to yell at the assholes that go off trail in Sequoia National Park. It's even better because my dad joins in and yells at them too.

I don't know if I've ever seen political advertising like this at a gas station before. Here's where it leads: chevronadvocacynetwork.com/california-e...

An ad at a gas station that says Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more. California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs. The image is a blue car wrapped in a gas tank nozzle
