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."

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.

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.
