No pee on the floor and I can see blue on those seats. Cleanest damn train ever! We need a #DNC every year please!
Waiting for the bus as I head to the #DNC with supplies. Pupusas, check. Dots pretzels, check. Coffee in a can, check. I’m ready, bring it!

Chicago is Convention City again. Take a look back at its history as a host, as I play a small part (with Abe Lincoln, a goat and a flying ashtray) in the paper's lively, smart, extensive coverage of political conventions here. chicagotribune.com/2024/08/1…

Today, 7 brave Chicago Tribune employees sued the company for wage discrimination.
We support them, admire them & reject the gross unfairness owner Alden has overseen. Together, we will end it. Here’s why this matters (1/8):

In less than a half hour (7pm), you can watch the premiere of Geoffery Baer's new show 'Chicago Mysteries' on WTTW and get a glimpse of some true Chicago history nerds like @rumormill and I, along with @robertloerzel @6figga_dilla @monicaeng and more.

Investigative reporter Ray Long went on strike because he hasn’t had a raise “in years & years & years” as Alden squeezes reporters and readers.
“We want Alden to know that we will not buckle to their baloney and we’re ready to rock — harder & harder & harder.” — @RayLong

Journalists at the Chicago Tribune have been bargaining for 5 years for a fair contract. Today, we strike.
Our colleagues here @Guildsuburban plus @tribdpsguild, @TBContentGuild, @MCallguild, @CourantGuild, @Tidewaterguild + @OS_Guild are walking out with us.
I gladly signed my name to this list. Enough is enough. We’re calling on #AldenVultureCapital to fix systemic pay gaps between male and female journalists and white journalists and journalists of color. chicagotribuneguild.com/stri…
I'm proud to stand with my colleagues @CTGuild who are fighting for a fair contract. #UnionStrong
Chicago Tribune journalists are going on strike for 24 hours tomorrow for the first time in history.
@CTGuild has bargained for a fair contract since 2018.
Alden responded by offering functional pay cuts & fewer benefits despite the Trib's profits. We're done playing games.

Diversity matters in newsrooms. But Alden Global Capital & its attorney, Marshall Anstandig, won’t make it a priority. We’re working to bargain a contract that fosters diversity, but they have fought hard to block and stall on many efforts we’ve made to make our newsroom better.

On June 10, 1847, from a third-floor loft at Lake and LaSalle streets, the Chicago Tribune printed its first edition. That's a lot of newspapers to go through, but @fotomather @rumormill @rickkogan and I are having a blast looking back. #Tribune175 chicagotribune.com/175/ct-17…
