You can call me Kevin but that isn’t my name. My name is Jim and I don’t hide my odious beliefs behind an anonymous account. I’m happy to put my name next to what I stand for.

There’s a reason Trump supporters were marginalized before he came on the scene. It’s because they are all fucking morons.

Divvy riders took 6.8M trips in 2025, the busiest year in system history 🚲 Nearly 1M rides in August alone. We added 140 new stations and 2,076 new docks to meet demand. More riders. More stations. Transportation that works.
Divvy in 2025: A Record Year 6.8M total trips 995K rides in August 140 new station 2076 new docks

A new year reminder: Speeding costs you control, distance, and lives. Make 2026 your safest year yet. Slow down and arrive safely.

Please @ChicagosMayor restore funding for safe streets before it’s too late. chicagotribune.com/2025/12/1…

Letters: Fatal traffic crashes are down in Chicago. Let’s not roll back that progress.

City leaders have not only a moral obligation to prevent avoidable deaths on our streets, but also a fiscal one in this era of tight budgets.

An estimate by @illinoisdot found preventable crashes cost our state $3.8 billion in 2019 - much of this accruing in the states largest city. The federal government estimates every roadway fatality costs society $1.6 million. This is the wrong way to balance the books.

Join us in fighting this backward policy decision by @ChicagosMayor. If you live in the city, use this link to send a message to city council and the mayor and tell them to restore safe streets funding in the 2025-2029 capital improvement plan activetrans.quorum.us/campai…

Now a shortsighted budget proposal from @ChicagosMayor risks rolling back this progress. Cuts to safe streets funding won’t save our city money, but they will lead to preventable deaths and serious injuries.

The only thing unbelievable about this is whatever the feds are saying apparently. These clowns are a menace. God bless all the folks showing up to push back.

Parente says from his repeated viewing of the body cam, you can see the agent who was driving suddenly "turn the wheel to the left," indicating he actually rammed her, not the other way around. Then he "jumps out and just starts shooting," Parente says.

At yesterday's celebration of a Safe Streets project on Long Avenue, Ald. Cruz and Ald. Sposato, left, explained why they voted against lowering Chicago's speed limit. Speeding drivers have fatally struck 3 pedestrians in Sposato's ward this year. chi.streetsblog.org/2025/08/…
