One might assume that an alderperson would be more likely to vote for a speed limit reduction if their constituents were more exposed to traffic violence. That was NOT the case for yesterday's vote to reduce Chicago's default speed limit from 30 to 25.

Hi. This is a little communication re: using alt text for memes. Remember, the reason a meme is a meme is that it is communicating something different, more, and contextualized than the actual images presented.

Yes! A win against Trump’s anti-equity EO shows he is not unstoppable.

If Trump’s bullying of Maine’s governor doesn’t concern & disgust you, then you need to pay attention to what the fuck is happening. We don’t have kings in America. #ImpeachTrump

For the record - Indivisible Chicago believes in holding out reps accountable. We also believe in our rights as constituents to tell our reps what we want from them. They want to work with us. Mostly we thanked the reps who are doing the right thing. And we said we’d have their backs if they do!

Indivisible Chicago, Indivisible Illinois, and local chapters SHOWED UP outside Chicago-area district offices of our congressional representatives. We're grateful that many reps were able to meet with us. Our message: HOLD THE LINE. No votes for the coup! @indivisibleil.bsky.social @indivisible.org

For so long, my trans son wanted to seamlessly blend in. His early years were spent under the watchful, intrusive eyes of people who couldn’t just let him be. No longer. His voice is his freedom. If you can, own your own stories, help us tell ours, loudly and boldly. www.wbez.org/health-medic...

I swear I am going to send this article to the people whining at us for “going after” Dems instead of the GOP. (Btw - we are doing what we can to go after the GOP but in Chicago, there aren’t many).

These are the people in charge of our country. They don’t know what federal agencies actually do. They don’t understand the limits of AI. They are all complicit in whatever happens.

If you're seeking to violently overthrow the government, you shouldn't simultaneously collect a government paycheck. Period.

Instead of stopping Trump/Musk completely, which the Republicans could do to save their constituents, they will simply kneel to Trump and beg. Why? Because they don’t want “others” to get any benefits from stopping Trump. They think only they & theirs are deserving & fuck the rest of us.
