@senddrain @ChicagoDomDaddy The developer is asking for a change in the zoning, which Ald. Lawson will need to approve. If you want it to be built, contacting Lawson's office to say so will help that happen.

@RepMikeQuigley And now @GovPritzker has sent state police to brutalize and arrest protesters in Broadview.

Happy Citizenship Day! 🇺🇸

Last month, I watched as 981 individuals from 97 countries took the oath of citizenship.

They worked hard to reach that goal and now, they are both U.S. citizens and Chicagoans.

A killing spree targeting unhoused people occurred on the blue line train today. 4 human beings executed as they slept. I am sick to my stomach.

What can we learn from the #ImaneKhelif case?
1. The gender binary is inherently unstable.
2. Human bodies are extremely diverse.
3. Black/brown athletes face immense racism.
4. Transphobia has reached absurd heights.
5. Many hearts will bleed for a crying white woman.

spending the first chunk of my career in a job where 80% of your work got unceremoniously shoved into a wood chipper was honestly so good for me. zero psychological attachment to projects anymore, zero concern about their fate, all work product becomes waste product in the end

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

Those replacing human beings with AI are doing so because they've no respect/understanding of labor, commoditizing outputs without seeing that a job is both the acquisition of labor and the outsourcing of risk. You don't just hire humans- you trust them.

Wow, this is all so crooked.

Gratuities! You know, gift cards, lunches, plaques, books, framed photos, or *disguising the phrase with a yawn* thick envelopes full of cash. https://t.co/cUFC3eMI1E

Huge news: The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation has become the first federally recognized tribe to get a portion of their land back in Illinois. Illinois now has tribal lands.

World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza. Read our full statement on the loss of our team members here: https://t.co/gsijamzfMU

Dear politicians/political influencers:

When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.

Don’t just quote him.

Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

Our convoy carrying life-saving medical supplies for health facilities incl Al-Quds @PalestineRCS hospital, came under fire Tuesday.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Over 10,000 people have been killed in the📍#GazaStrip over the last month.

2,550 women and 4,104 children.

30 days terrified by relentless bombardment.

The number of people being killed is so staggering, it can't be collateral. A ceasefire is overdue for the sake of humanity.

@tombellino Congrats!

@JoshKrugerPHL Congrats!

@radicalbytes @whmullally @AremeaBC For me, the only masculinity trope it breaks is the one that queer men are not masculine. At least three characters embrace the idea that a man's only purpose in life is to protect other people. Ep 2 actually does more to subvert that idea, and just barely.

@NotABigJerk I'd probably have to change my appointment time. I don't think I could handle that at 9AM.
