This is very dumb framing. Everyone can get where we're going, there's a dozen bridges.

Today I'm wearing my Chicago abortion fund sweatshirt to work. I missed adding my support trans lives pin this morning but usually wear one of those daily. Telling the people around me my politics makes it easier for them to share their politics too, and knowing you aren't alone is always great.
Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

Seems bad that a billionaire controls the satellites used to fly military drones into other countries and can enable or disable those attacks on his whim.

MBJ never beating the "immediately fell into a two year coma upon entering office" accusations
IL High Speed Rail Commission will finalize its final report to the legislature by July without the input from Chicago. The city is not officially involved in the commission because the appointed seat for the city on the board is vacant and can only be appointed by the Mayor's Office.

Up there with 'prosperity gospel' and my new least favorite I saw this week, that Jesus said we shouldn't support immigrants.
