I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Dangerous in in so many ways, not least of all is potentially turning any minor disagreement between people in an airport into a full blown fight. Probably not what airline employees want given how tense things have been for years already.

My German grandmother, a war refugee, emigrated to Chicago. She learned how to speak English watching WGN.

When I visited we’d watch WGN every night. Never thought I’d see one of its producers brutalized & arrested by masked US govt thugs.

My mom & grandparents fled Germany bc of this same shit.

More yard sign news: ex Ward 10 council member Lisa McDonald (who once told me "go fuck yourself", unprompted!) is displaying a Lydia Millard sign in Ward 13 — alongside Frey and Palmisano.

"Untethering society from the automobile will be a Herculean task.
"Cars ruin everything,” warns a section of Life After Cars. If so, the first step toward reversing the damage is getting more people to recognize the problem." 👇

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet.

Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile?

My essay, in @bloomberg.com (gift link below)
‘Car Brain’ Is Making the US Unhealthy and Dangerous. EVs Won’t Fix It.
A trio of new books argue that we need to confront the full range of costs that car-based living has imposed on our cities, our health and our society.

There’s only ever been two kinds of people in the MAGA/GOP world. The evil grifters who directly benefit, and the rabid angry assholes who are too stupid to realize that they’re not actually a part of the former group. Maybe MTG has finally realized that she’s in the latter.

Donald Trump has made life in America so profoundly bizarre that GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is starting to make sense. She's not sane, nor is she an ally of any sort, but her bucking of Trumpian orthodoxy may be a sign of a grifter shift in the MAGA world.

bryn mawr neighbors with a letter in support of re-electing katie cashman in their paper the bugle titled “Keep the Momentum Going,” stating that “Councilmember Cashman's top priority has been community safety” and listing her accomplishments in office

static1.squarespace.com/static/6737b...
Keep the Momentum Going: Reelect Katie Cashman In 18 short months, Councilmember Katie Cashman has proven to be the energetic, effective, and collaborative leader Ward 7 needs. Drawing on a decade of experience in urban plan-ning, she chairs the city's Climate and Infrastructure Committee. Her effectiveness is reflected in widespread endorsements from DFL leaders like Attorney General Keith Ellison, former Governor Mark Dayton, State Senator Scott Dibble, State Representative Katie Jones, and Hennepin County Board Chair Irene Fernando. Councilmember Cashman's top priority has been community safety. She voted to approve the police contract to increase officer salaries and support recruitment while championing successful violence prevention programs like the Behavioral Crisis Response Team. She is also a tireless advocate for traffic calming measures that make our streets safer. Her commitment to our community is evident in her accessibility. She is a familiar face in Bryn Mawr, regularly attending BMNA meetings and personally visiting problem areas to see residents' concerns firsthand. This hands on approach, combined with her monthly "Coffee with Katie" meetings and detailed newsletters, keeps our community engaged.A true collabora-tor, Katie has cosponsored an ordinance with every single council mem-ber, proving her ability to build consensus and focus on results, not political blocs. Katie has a clear vision for a vibrant, 24/7 downtown that restores property values and eases our tax burden. She expertly uses legislative directives to demand data and transparency, authoring analyses on traffic calming and skyway access. This data-driven approach helps secure funding and empowers residents to advocate for realistic solu-tions. While her opponent also cares for our community, she has not demonstrated the same clear vision or deep knowledge Katie has shown.This difference is evident in the League of Women Voters forum (search You'Tube for: "2025 Minneapolis Ward 7 Ca…

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.
