This is exactly why vendor lock-in is the devil. At this point, it would be potentially cheaper & better for the County/City to combine forces and share a common digital service to build it ourselves and open source the code so other counties don't get screwed over too.
Tyler Technologies, the company that has spent more than a decade helming the troubled and often-stalled overhaul of Cook County’s property tax technology that has led to repeated delays in homeowners getting their bills, is in line for a two-year extension.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

it's so very hard opening the news and seeing stories like this every day that pales in comparison to the suffering of the people in those stories. that's why you can't look away.
The exonerative tense is so gross and inexcusable and I have to hope journalists writing this way feel at least some shame.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

It would be nice if Big Football, amid the Citeh crisis, took a pause to reappraise the game as a whole and it's money-obsessed model. It isn't working: it might look glitzy and be a major UK 'export product' but it is failing across the board. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

In 2018, my friend Ady Barkan — the bravest person I’ve ever known — was traveling across the U.S. Despite his rapidly advancing ALS, he was fighting so fiercely for healthcare for every American. On that trip, he introduced me to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, who was running for governor of Michigan.
