On this day in 1997, CTA decided with less then 24 hours of public notice, city workers move in and dismantle the Cottage Grove-Dorchster segment of the Green Line. Why? What it would take to get it back? 🧵

It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

Started “Lead Children” on Netflix last night, seemingly the Polish Erin Brockovich, a true story from outside Katowice in 1974. I love it so far, but it has me thinking about how relatively little non-Soviet Eastern Bloc historic and/or nostalgic media we get (at least in the US). Now I want more 👀

It's less about Nithya in isolation, and more about the potential of an executive branch of Nithya Raman, Kenneth Mejia, and Marissa Roy. You need all three to start tearing down a lot of the waste and fraud in city spending, and holding rogue departments accountable

I’ve noticed a misremembering of the role stomp clap hey music and heckin doggo speak played in Millennial culture. It was popular but it was never considered fashionable. Comparisons to today should be made to other prevalent but unsexy things, like “come with me...” wannabe influencer videos.

Y'know how the American public broadly reacted to a series Trump assassination attempts with "Well, yeah, that's bound to happen when you're a giant buffoonish asshole"? I think there's a similar sentiment with pathetic groveling White House correspondents still getting slapped by Trump.

Look everybody has an opinion on Chicago but not only do I actually live here but I also am probably in the 1% of people who can name their alder, state rep and state senator so you can take my take with that grain of salt. I think there’s a lot happening here that’s shaping perceptions and outcomes

1) Fox News, conservative media and to some degree mainstream national media, painting Chicago with broad racist brushes and creating a caricature of a hellscape that doesn’t match the lived reality of people who actually live here.

She adds, "But Republicans have made it a big attack on you," which is a telling statement. Stated simply: We don't find it newsworthy either, but it's our job to use talking points from one side and parrot them back to the other side. If not, we'll be accused of bias. (Also, my boss is Bari Weiss)
