I just learned from a flyer in my mail that Danny K. Davis is not running again in IL 7 and is endorsing state rep La Shawn K. Ford, who I don't know a single thing about.

Divvy riders took 6.8M trips in 2025, the busiest year in system history 🚲 Nearly 1M rides in August alone. We added 140 new stations and 2,076 new docks to meet demand. More riders. More stations. Transportation that works.

You could not ask for a more perfect illustration of the failure of neoliberalism — and of liberalism in general — than what we are seeing today

Operators are under obligation to act appropriately.

Thax Douglas read a poem to introduce Daniel Knox last night at Constellation. First time I’ve seen Thax in ages! He used to read his poem-intros at a lot of Chicago concerts.

Bobby Jenks had her normal spot by my feet at the end of the couch taken by Dolly and now she's just pacing around nervously. Dolly has seniority so she is just going to have to work it out.

Remember: if you live in Chicago and are interested in how to increase your bike/walk/transit share, that’s literally why they invented BlueSky AFAIK.
Periodic reminder:
If you use less gas for transportation, you help drop the value of a barrel of oil, which makes the people looking to profit off of stealing from Venezuelans, lose money.

Take the bus/train/bike/scooter, buy an EV, don't use gas.

Which makes invading Venezuela a much less profitable endeavor.
Venezuela either has "The most oil in the world!" Or "Not that much oil really," depending on what the price of oil is.

Oil is currently near a 4 year low.

This is one of the most important storefront buildings on Beverly's old 103rd Street "downtown" stretch. Sucks that one driver managed to take out so many businesses at once, including Beverly Phono Mart and Beverly Area Arts Alliance's Ephemera Gallery (which just opened a few months ago!)

Illinois needs better representation.
Illinois needs better representation.
Donald Trump’s reckless and unconstitutional operations in Venezuela—including this morning’s arrest of a foreign leader—are not about enforcing law and order.
If they were, he wouldn’t hide them from Congress.

What Chicago restaurant do you miss the most? 🍟 🌭
We asked Chicagoans to name the restaurant they would bring back from the past. These 16 places are gone but definitely not forgotten: blockclubchi.co/4mjnmOF

What's your favorite weekend Amtrak trip from Chicago? Ideally use no cars at all but I could be convinced to take a cab once or twice.
