I grew up in Chicago Public Libraries and my love of reading and writing are no doubt tied to all the time I spent in the CPL as a kid. Solidarity to all those fighting for a fair contract. #FairContractNow #WeMakeChicagoWork

2022 in # s: 98K new cardholders, 908K computer sessions, 7K CyberNavigator sessions, 27K HW Help sessions, 30,000 summer meals, 4.5M library visitors, at under 70% of the workforce we need! But @chicagosmayor
doesn't think we deserve a #FairContractNow ?! #WeMakeChicagoWork

[@OWLCaucus @OWLCaucus]

150 years of the Chicago Public Library, and 85 years of unionized library workers! We need a #FairContractNow that keeps up with the times, and keeps us healthy & cared for so we can care for communities for another 150. Tell @chicagosmayor that #WeMakeChicagoWork !

[@OWLCaucus @OWLCaucus]

Library workers support Chicagoans through crises on a daily basis, connecting patrons to community resources & providing safe spaces. Patrons come back to us for help bc they trust us & know we care about them. We deserve the respect of a #FairContractNow. #WeMakeChicagoWork

At the height of the pandemic, all other brick & mortars closed...so where did the 80yo patrons and those without internet go when they needed to get social security checks, or update Link cards? We're more than your social safety net, @chicaogsmayor. #FairContractNow

@CrowleyCakes I’d go for the apartment. The other stuff I can live without until my next paycheck, but housing… I pay my rent before all other bills and right now rents are sky high with no signs of stopping in Chicago.

[Isaac Hansen @isaachansen]

@DanBeyerle I’d buy that kids book!

If nine unelected Supreme Court justices put in power by non popularly elected people have the power to overturn a policy supported by over 70% of Americans isn’t tyranny- I don’t know what is.

[George Wallace @MrGeorgeWallace]

There is so much shit to worry about. There is so much shit going wrong. But do me a favor, against all odds, have a great as shit weekend and whatnot.

[Paul F. Tompkins @PFTompkins]

What if we tried it on the condition that if all the people who end up not going bankrupt or getting addicted to opioids from the new health care system TRULY hate it we go back to how it was

[Frank Conniff @FrankConniff]

Guilty on all charges. Thank you, jurors.

[Beastbrarian 🔮📚⚔️ @amydieg]

CPL will be introducing a True Name/Chosen Name option for all library patrons by the end of the month! I am so proud of my colleagues on the LGBTQ Pride committee and in tech services for doing this work! #librarylife

How about we “means test” corporate tax breaks

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

OK now let’s cancel them

[Tim Baltz @tim_baltz]

Trump’s appeal has always been rooted in the American dream of zero accountability for your actions. Do something bad/illegal - then either get away with it, blame someone else, or cry so relentlessly about the potential consequences that people eventually back off.

[Arnie Niekamp @misterarnie]

Meeting in the middle benefits those who are willing to go too far. When things get bat shit crazy it’s time for a good old fashioned pendulum swing.
