The United States simply cannot endure another four years of Donald Trump, the New Yorker editors write. “The right choice—the necessary choice—is Kamala Harris.”

Here's the Washington Post's front page on January 7, 2021. Four years later, the paper, famous for its tagline "Democracy Dies in Darkness," doesn't want to take a stand on who is fit to be president.

I voted by mail – it was easy and a great excuse to say hi to some neighbors. If you're voting by mail like me, get your ballot in the mail right away. No matter how you vote, make sure you have a plan and get it done: IWillVote.com/Obama

Hard to overstate how much of an improvement speed cameras are compared to police issuing tickets.
Speed cameras are *way* more fair -- and also more reliable.

“He’s plugged in,” the former president's son, Chip Carter, told The Associated Press. “I asked him two months ago if he was trying to live to be 100, and he said, ‘No, I’m trying to live to vote for Kamala Harris.’” to.pbs.org/4eJIQRj

Like the last season before a show gets canceled for getting over-the-top and, at the same time, boring.
This election is about jobs, wages, climate, health care, abortion. Not his show. Your life.

The de-conversion of Chicago two-flats into single-family homes exacerbates our housing crisis and drives displacement.
This week, UE delivered a letter of support for the Northwest Preservation Ordinance (NPO), which establishes two-flats as the minimum required density. 🏘️

I've been wondering why adding dedicated @cta bus lanes to the plan for #LakeShoreDrive is so hard for @IDOT_Illinois & @ChicagoDOT. Since the #transportation field is fascinated by #AI, I asked a few bots what they'd do if they were in charge. Here are their answers:👇 🧵

More than one-third of Chicago police traffic stops are not reported, despite a state law requiring disclosure.
In April 2024, the most recent month for which we obtained data, 41% of traffic stops were not reported to state regulators. boltsmag.org/chicago-police-…

I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.
As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.
It's great to have him on the team.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

We should end the outdated and regressive practice of requiring the construction of parking spaces in Chicago!
It'd be better for the environment, safer for everyone on the streets, and better for reducing costs to home builders and new businesses!

@newdayconway this is nearly every day. Please, please help (maybe by extending the bike lane to Halsted).
The Jackson bike lane is wonderful, but this undoes a lot of the safety improvement. Parked cars force bikes into the road at the busy intersection. Its dangerous!
