coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

Yo, we’re so cooked on this one.
If he wins we’re going to need a SERIOUS primary opponent when he goes for re-election. He CANNOT become a lifer in this seat. He will sell us all down the digital river.

Most people don’t go to a city council meeting. If you go and tell them you vote and you want action even once, you’ve moved the needle.

Naah, I want them on trial.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

I can't get this across enough. Everyone in Cook County, you have to vote for Kaegi in March.

My opponent, Pat Hynes, took $25,000 from a MAGA Trump donor whose family cheered when ICE killed Alex Pretti.
The Loquercios has given $372,000+ to Trump, McConnell, Graham, and others.
Democrats shouldn't take money from MAGA donors or people who celebrate murder. Return it.

my rough mental heuristic is that all american cities are about 3 times larger than they need to be so this checks out
The entire cities of Amsterdam (red), Paris (blue), and Barcelona (purple) can fit inside Chicago.
All borders use the same geographic scale (1:175000). The European cities have been rotated and/or flipped, but not resized.
