We really need urban planning that includes better pedestrian routes, bicycle paths, and public transportation. Why the fuck are we dumping money into a dying/dead industry? Transportation should be a public good, not a private enterprise.

Gov. Pritzker wants 25th Amendment invoked to remove President Trump from office over Iran threats
Gov. JB Pritzker joined more than 50 House Democrats — and an unlikely alliance of conservatives calling for the president's removal, including former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, former MAGA ally and radio host Alex Jones and conservative commentator Candace Owens.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

The problem isn’t that these are bad ideas. The problem is they’re mostly existing law/policy. Want to get serious? At least mandate accountability. Ex: Revoke qualified immunity. Firings. Demotions. Suspensions. Loss of OT. Kicked back to basic training. Or a more mainstream idea: Abolish ICE.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.
