Street renaming ceremony for "Honorary Lily's Greenway" Sat. 10/24, 11 AM at 1400 W. Leland (at Beacon). It's a memorial to Lily Shambrook, 3, whose story helped inspire the Smart Streets ordinance for bike and bus lane enforcement. That will help protect other kids. www.instagram.com/p/DemTkTWx4aK/

By covering up the murder of Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old black boy, to secure his 2015 re-election and then cowardly refusing to face Chicago voters in 2019 after the exposed coverup made him a pariah, yeah sure okay Rahm never technically "lost" but Laquan lost. Chicagoans lost. That's worse.

Adults have extreme survivorship bias when setting expectations for children as road users. You made it to adulthood without being a victim of traffic violence by nothing more than dumb luck. You weren't a special genius child with parents who trained you in traffic jiu jitsu. You were lucky.
people get hella mad when you suggest adult drivers should be more responsible than children walking/biking.

Good morning from Chicago City Hall, where Mayor Brandon Johnson has arrived to deliver his budget address for what will be the final time in his first term. Supporters in the gallery are chanting "four more years" as he begins the meeting 41 minutes late. Follow along, yes? @wttw.bsky.social

Absolutely fucking crazy to me that Brandon is the only mayor in my lifetime who has been able to articulate and deliver a clear plan to violent crime reduction in the city yet the only thing the rest of the field and conservative city council block can regurgitate is more cops, more cops, more cops

TFW youโre trying to keep thebillionaireboard.com up to date, but every day Michael Sacks goes into his Scrooge McDuck money vault to find another sack of money for Jessica Biggs
Starting to think Citizens for Biggs may have been a poor choice of committee name -- Billionaire for Biggs, now that's more apropos. Jessica Biggs reports another $300,000 donation from Billionaire Michael Sacks tonight

This has been the fundamental mechanism through which political media operates my entire life. The right makes a bunch of noise about a fake scandal, the mainstream media "covers the controversy," & normie voters get the vague impression that Dems are constantly involved in scandal.
This awful saga is a good glimpse into how MAGA gets propaganda laundered into mainstream discourse by making just enough noise to get news outlets to treat their outrage as a "controversy," which then requires even-handed treatement of both sides' stances: newrepublic.com/article/2168...
