If you see someone over 40 who is out after 9pm, they 100% took a nap earlier in the day.

Me: "I'm a Chicago sports fan, so of course my team sucks."
Him: "Which team?"
Me: "Yes."

@ifedulov @DanielLaSpata The entire Milwaukee/Armitage/Western corner is dying/dead because of his precious bike lanes. You don’t actually think he considers consequences when pushing his personal agenda, do you?
English
@DanielLaSpata I feel that you are out of your element. Perhaps economics classes would help? You voted to decimate our city finances with a $500k handout for sidewalk plowing? You understand that a single cloud tax increase you supported will deter more tech companies from coming to Chicago?
English
Regardless of how one feels about CEO Pedro Martinez - and my experiences with him have only been respectful and productive - this decision should have been made by the school board we just finished electing. And certainly not on a Friday evening before Christmas.
English
@AJManaseer And how to emergency vehicles get through when cars can’t pull over?
English
The Augusta Bike Lane in its natural state… (totally unused).
I saw one guy use it last week. Since then, zero. And this is all in peak cycling weather. Imagine during the rest of year.
I invite any of Chicago’s leading bike advocates to come sit with me there for an hour and if more than 3% of passersby are on bikes, I will donate $1000 to the charity of their choice and admit I was wrong. If not, you tweet a retraction admitting I was right that this lane is an underutilized white elephant (not to mention poorly designed and dangerous).
3% on a nice summer day, for one of the northside’s main bike arteries. Should be easy, right?

How many countries force masks on children at school/sports? Is it just the US? @EWoodhouse7 @ebennett74
English
@BlockClubCHI I was driving down Milwaukee the other day and an ambulance was trying to get by. Could not. There was no way for vehicles to pull over and let it by. Did anyone at CDOT think of emergency vehicles?

Belmont Avenue’s protected bike lanes will be extended to Milwaukee Avenue in Avondale. buff.ly/3VrWe5E

@1980Bvchi @RossanaFor33 Oh, I’d bet there are about 10 that are decent and worthy of their salaries.
English
@RossanaFor33 What’s heartbreaking and enraging is that Chicago has 50 tax payer paid alderfolk and the majority are useless.
English
$320 million to build a flimsy pier and billions to continue bombing children and destroying a whole nation but people can’t have universal health care, free higher education or housing for the homeless. It’s heartbreaking and enraging.
Nora Barrows-Friedman@norabf
The $320 million Lego set that did nothing, now falling apart in the sea. A pier made of garbage. All this instead of forcing Israel to open the fucking crossings. Astonishing symbolism for US policy
English
@RepKamBuckner If we felt safe or could get on a train that wasn’t like an overfilled sardine can, we would absolutely get back to public transport. Have you tried to bring your kid on the blue line at 8am on a Tuesday?
English
Chicago can outsmart the 2008 parking meter deal by boosting CTA efficiency, safety and reliability to the point where taking transit beats driving and parking. The less we feed the meters, the less we fill the pockets of those who leased them. Time for transit triumph!
English
@AldMattMartin And how long have police officer positions been vacant?
English
For months, I've urged the Mayor's team to fill two vacancies on the Board of Ethics. Now, we're quickly approaching an important deadline.
In July, two more positions become vacant. If unfilled, the Board will not be able to reach quorum to enforce ethics rules. (1)
English
There was no reason for CPD to clear this encampment after the Mayor’s statements. This is a crucial moment to protect free speech and we need to be on the side of democracy. Sad day.
Caullen Hudson@CaulHudson
SAIC students started an encampment today in solidarity with Gaza on the anniversary of the #KentStateMassacre. Police came shortly after and swept the area
English
@RobElgasABC7 Don’t forget about the small business owners that sold to Foxtrot and Dom’s.
English
It's never good when a business closes. And I wish I could I say I'm surprised at all the people on X dunking on this news, *mocking* it. Yes the stores were overpriced. Yes this is just another corporate casualty. And perhaps the companies handled it poorly.
But a lot of good people, HARDWORKING Chicagoans, went to work this morning and found out they are now unemployed.
I'm just rooting for them right now.
ABC 7 Chicago@ABC7Chicago
Just months after announcing a merger, Dom's Kitchen & Market and Foxtrot will be closing locations in Chicago, Texas and Washington, D.C., according to a post on the Dom's website. abc7chicago.com/chicago-based-…

@rothschild48154 @lookwithlaura @RaymondALopez @Chicago_Police She didn’t seem much different to me.
English
@ChristaReed @lookwithlaura @RaymondALopez @Chicago_Police Agreed. The good news is that the first ward now has a new committeeperson that isn't LaSpata.
English
ShotSpotter, the technology the pro-criminal alds just D&P’d, alerted @Chicago_Police to the gruesome scene at 52/Damen where an entire innocent family was shot by gang bangers, killing a 9yo girl. They should be ashamed of themselves but their commitment to the performance is shameless.
Jake Sheridan@JakeSheridan_
The ShotSpotter vote was delayed using a parliamentary maneuver by opponents. Ald. Daniel La Spata and Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez “deferred and published” the order that could allow the controversial technology to remain in Chicago. It could face a vote at another meeting.

@ChristaReed @lookwithlaura @RaymondALopez @Chicago_Police Three way vote happened. Royko v. LaSpata and Sam would have won.
English
@JeMappelleJess @GKMC18 He’s looking for outrage from politicians. The people who are responsible for caring for this city and keeping us safe. Instead they are busy tweeting about Palestine.
English
Kinda hard to see outrage from way out where Paul lives. @GKMC18 and many others just participated in a vigil honoring Ariana’s life🕊️
Why does Paul, failed mayoral candidate, keep pitting mass shootings against police shootings by saying “no outrage”?
There is always outrage.
Paul Vallas@PaulVallas
NO outrage over Chicago’s 8th mass shooting this year that saw a 9 year old killed? Chicago had a nation leading 36 mass shootings last year! NO outrage over 12 school age children murdered & 46 shot this year? Chicago had a nation leading 76 nation children killed last year!

@chicagotribune Where are all these extreme right wingers living in Chicago? What ward?
English
Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday blasted a nascent effort to establish a legal tool for voters to recall Chicago mayors, calling it “disingenuous” and saying it is backed by “extreme right wing” political rivals.

@lookwithlaura @RaymondALopez @Chicago_Police I don’t know a single person in my immediate neighborhood (as least 6 blocks) that voted for him. There were Royko signs everywhere.
English
@RaymondALopez @Chicago_Police I still do not know how LaSpata won re-election.
English
A mayor cannot be recalled.
Important context when parroting out half baked right wing stunts.
Mary Ann Ahern@MaryAnnAhernNBC
Recently filed - a ballot initiative to recall @ChicagosMayor - looking to get it on November ballot.
English
@AldKnudsen43 Love this. I’m sure @AldermanLaSpata hates it. I’ve reached out to his office many times about it and I and up having to take the flyers down myself.
English
Today, I introduced the “Stop Hate Flyering” ordinance, aiming to combat & deter the rise of hate flyering across the City. I want to make one thing clear: hate has no home in Chicago. For those who choose to commit acts of hate in our communities – you will be held accountable.
