there is not a small number of people who can no longer go to the grocery store or the food pantry, there are many who are taking risks
we have a small wishlist and i will keep sharing it, we keep hearing from families who trust us or trust their networks to trust us

there is a publishing house that functions as the mouthpiece for the ISO {defunct-ish} and it often really discounts its books to move its language around leftist circles
but how things are categorized matters and Disability is not a category for their books

it's really impressive that the technology industry has made it seem as though safety lies in the adherence to strict technical standards
safety is in the relational and anyone who tells you different is a charlatan

i read part of the chicago zoning code, it's a lot of words to say poor people aren't allowed
i can't do the kind of reading that is a seek and find for what one word is different between clauses

part of how we can tell a City Council member is making cover for themselves is some of the language is very technical while other language is not

so we have at least 3 constituents to put their opposition to a zoning change in writing and make cover for the City Council to defer to Alderman Villegas when he says no thank you and requests less housing be built
and what would making cover be in chicago without a petition to your alderman

"Super job getting a development here in the first place!"
Alderman Villegas did less than nothing to get a development on the parcel at Chicago and Washtenaw. The property was for sale by its owner and the developer bought it.
The City was not involved in any way except to downsize the project.

City Council members often tell constituents to "join in the process" by "making your voice heard" and encourage feedback even though City Council holds formal power
