the criteria that @drakefor10.bsky.social proposes are so low bar. of course NITA board members should ride transit and have some kind of relevant expertise. hopefully these serve as a floor for every nominee to the NITA board by Pritzker, Preckwinckle, & Johnson. thanks for saying it Drake Warren!

I voted for Clayton Harris III because I think he’d be saying things like this if was turned to fascism, as many foresaw. Eileen Burke won that race by 0.02%. Too bad it didn’t go the other way!
Larry Krasner's statement:

"We are a very substantial tool against what I consider to be a pretty clear attempt to normalize fascism and to overthrow democracy in the United States."

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones."

MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

I’ve been (harassing) in a good natured way, I hope he agrees) davidpowe.bsky.social - who does a heroes work of communicating/promoting divvy expansion - about the absence of a divvy station at Kensington for the better part of a year now. But there’s an edivvy dock a block away! It’s a stop sign.

Almost hit the deck walking past the not yet opened chick-fil-a on 53rd st. They’re not making money yet and only have new employees coming in, so I guess they aren’t going to pay to have their sidewalks shoveled.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

As the days pass, we’re experiencing more and more direct material harm from the illegal federal occupation of Chicagoland. Gathering and preserving multiple independent archives of evidence is important. So will be carrying on these memories and telling these stories for generations to come.
Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

The situation of the federal government gratuitously and grotesquely terrorizing our communities with impunity is obviously untenable.

Adding "feds fucking choking a man in broad daylight" to the list.

Absolute terror across Chicago today. Begging for national attention that matches the level of crisis on the ground here feels like screaming underwater at this point.

Cook 1. Never claimed her GA home as a primary residence on a mortgage app & 2. Never applied for a tax deduction for it as her home. It’s at least as bad as Watergate but reads today as warm up for just another nonsensical SCOTUS ruling defending the rule of tyrant www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...
Exclusive: Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,” documents show
A loan estimate for an Atlanta home purchased by Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor accused of mortgage fraud by the Trump administration, shows that Cook had declared the property as a “vacation home,” according to a document reviewed by Reuters.
