“One more lane bro” doesn’t work. NITA is the answer — but only if we dare to make clear commitments to transform Metra into regional rail, build a network of Bus Rapid Transit lines, increase frequency across the board, and make build-ready plans for new L lines. Oh, and #BuildTheTunnel.
A Sun-Times/WBEZ investigation confirms one driver's lament that it was "the worst traffic I've ever had to deal with." Worse yet, epic delays persist — a year after a three-year construction project ended and Gov. JB Pritzker promised “faster commutes.”

spectacular if anyone is now inspired to draw the 72 different species of fish that swim in the Cuyahoga River
Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

I also think this is a very powerful graph. Most people don't know it, but the US is a *very* low-tax country. We tax below average and we spend below average, among rich nations. Fixing our fiscal situation entirely through taxes would still leave us *very* low tax. bsky.app/profile/bren...
A big reason why people w/ low incomes don’t share in our prosperity is that we underinvest in economic security programs like unemployment insurance, paid leave, housing, and other benefits. We spend FAR LESS on these programs than our peers do.

Sammy is my longtime friend, so I’m biased, but he’s such an incisive voice in the climate movement. Subscribe to his newsletter for the download on balcony solar, fossil fuel sports sponsorships and many other things, including the occasional true crime story!
One year ago today, I launched CLIMATE-COLORED GOGGLES, a newsletter about climate and culture. Proud of everything I've accomplished and excited for Year 2! Highlights from Year 1 and notes on what's ahead. Very grateful to everyone supporting my work! www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ccg-turns-...

while it's true that everything is gender, about 85% of things are also antitrust
People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...
