@Cubs I love that you all celebrated all the Cubs in the WBC. It’s supposed to be about unity, fun, and love of the game and this account captured that.

Anyone who has a problem with me posting about how Mahan is highlighting transit wins in San Jose is welcome to support transit in San Jose publicly. I don’t see many people doing that, so it really means a lot to me that Mahan is.

It’s cool to see the mayor highlighting transit signal priority—something I started working on as a college student with VM Foley. Making transit faster so people actually want to ride it will always be better than making it free without improving service.

Is it "disgusting" for SBC to nickname the crew of Trump friendly politicians and lobbyists, and their allies, fighting Archer Safe Streets for political gain "The Make Archer Great Again" posse? Nope – here's why. chi.streetsblog.org/2026/03/16/is-… (Image of Ald. Lopez is Photoshopped.)

Trump: They weren't supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked

Transit twitter bros and conservative anti-transit guys are equally as incapable of listening to anything I have to say and it’s pretty hilarious 😂

Now this is a mic drop.

The President of South Africa is not in Chicago to “enjoy American freedom.” He is here to honour a man who stood with South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle at a time when the United States was still supporting the apartheid regime and those who enforced it. He is here to honour a global icon revered by the very Black South Africans the apartheid state sought to crush and erase. He is here to honour a leader who came to South Africa, who walked the dusty streets of our townships alongside our parents and grandparents, and who gave moral courage to a struggle the world once tried to ignore. Ramaphosa is here to offer comfort and respect to @rep_jackson and the Jackson family who shared this extraordinary man with South Africa over many decades! You do not get to impose your politics on our history. Not today! President Ramaphosa will leave Chicago tomorrow and travel to Brazil on official business. You, meanwhile, can enjoy YOUR freedom to drop bombs across the world.

The City Attorney's office did not respond to questions about the charges or the timing. But Mitchell's lawyers believe the move was retaliatory. It successfully got the civil case stayed until the criminal case is resolved. la.streetsblog.org/2026/03/06/cit…

We have an opportunity to change the makeup of the LA Metro Board of Directors. Not a new idea -- but I think we need Metro riders on the Metro Board. Riders are the ones most impacted by our decisions and having them on the dais would make Metro better and more accountable.
