The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re not really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

If the entirety of Chicago was built to the density of Lakeview, the second densest neighborhood at a little under 33,000/sqmi, the city's population would be about 7.5 million.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I think you can make a reasonable case that the move in retrospect was to take very coercive steps to vaccinate everyone ASAP then do a full reopening. Instead the "Dems kept schools closed too long!" people always insist it was BEFORE the vaccines that everything should've reopened. It's insane!

Jonathan Joss' (actor from King of the Hill and Parks and Rec) husband has released a statement that amongst other things claims his murder was part of a homophobic attack. A high profile hate crime at the very start of Pride. Absolutely heart breaking.

How collar counties divert RTA transit tax dollars to non-transit uses. See snips below from RTA Act that permit the collar counties (DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will) to divert up to 1/3 of the RTA transit tax collected in their counties to non-transit uses. www.ilga.gov/legislation/...

There’s an argument for late night vote watching Twitter being the best Twitter. I still remember being deep in the replies with a UW Milwaukee student and a weatherman from Green Bay waiting for the Milwaukee absentee vote drop at like 3:30 am in 2020

Not the top priority but this budget and transit bill just makes me wish IL had a unicarmel legislature. The senate isn’t even a senate! They redrew lines for population it’s just two houses!

The suburbs of Chicago extract their wealth from Chicago jobs and then spend it in their own tiny walled communities outside the city. They absolutely should pay their part for the transit funding bill that needs to pass this week.

Lmao someone on Reddit brought to my attention that DuPage county took all their sales tax revenue intended for transportation and spent it on cops and now they’re panicking because the updated usage requirements in the new bill are going to defund their sheriff’s department.

it’s kind of annoying that almost every large democratic city is sitting on a nearly-infinite money printer all they have to do is override the NIMBYs and implement major upzonings that will massively boost tax revenue
