Massive Layoffs at the Dept of #Education Erode Its #CivilRights Division

I 100% support bike lanes, but we all have to live and move together, what else should the person have done?
A group of kids shushing each other is one of the loudest things I’ve ever heard 😂
Chicago last weekend. Love to see it.
Oh, absolutely.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve.
No contract? NO COFFEE!

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
ICYMI, an avid driver and his posse say the City should paint bus lanes on Grand (0.3 miles S. of bus lanes on Chicago) instead of installing protected lanes. We used lots of maps, renderings, photos to show why that would be very silly.

Because Christianity has historically, in real practice, accepted the practice of child brides and pushed the narrative that women’s value (and thus girls’) is childbearing above all else. This is not new, and the Catholic Church did it for centuries, protecting pedophile priests.
How do millions of professed followers of Jesus reach a point where they harbor predators, willfully abandon survivors, and redact the truth in order to shield the monsters from the raking light of accountability?
How do Christians align with r*pists?

I thank her for her service.
With utmost respect, it is long past time. It has been a failure of Dem leadership to create a pipeline of new leaders and step back to let them lead us into the future.
NITA celebrate? Hailing a historic win: the Northern Illinois Transit Authority and $1.5B in funding to save and upgrade service.
If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.
Things are pretty grim here in Chicago, but we at least have the advantage of getting a lot of national coverage. There are other places that aren't... like this case in Durango, CO.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.
All right, now let's check what our siblings in local transportation advocacy are up to.
@betterstreetschicago.org is doing the deity's work, trying to get as many constituents as possible to nudge their senators and reps to support the transit bill. 👍
That’s why I love winter.
Stay around please 💜
