Put real experts in charge of transit
Evidence from high-functioning systems
Over at A City That Works: Asian and European transit agencies are run by subject matter experts. American ones are run by local elected officials and community advocates. If we want the new Illinois transit reforms to succeed, we're going to look outside the US.

I would love for someone to show this to Newsom and ask him if he still thinks we shouldn’t tax billionaires.
Not because I think he’ll change his mind, I just love when ppl in his class publicly humiliate themselves

So if the CEO of palantir is openly stating he wants to erode democrats base and thus their power Dems when in charge will do the same to palantir, yeah?
Because if you don’t, that’s a look. And that look gets ppl to stay home.

We are going to need a presidential library just to have a centralized database and research center for all the ways this motherfucker used the office to grift.
I follow the news religiously and I can’t keep up with it.

Matthew Yglesias is poking fun at the White House finally realizing its policy is too unpopular to run on? The guy who spent all of 2025 and until circa February of 2026 arguing Democrats shouldn’t even talk about Trump’s immigration/deportation policy? That Matthew Yglesias?

Conservative attack on teachers unions (rather than all unions) was specifically designed to weaken a large part of the Dem base
and anyone who says they’re not aware of this shouldn’t be in left politics or is lying or wants that base weakened

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate.
Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

What’s wild to me is that he does this “should be illegal but definitely unethical” shit and like he’s already made his billions from his crypto grifts!
He’s already rich as fuck.
And old as fuck. He can’t take the money with him. He just loves the thuggery of it, I guess.

Again, this motherfucker thinks PROTECTING billionaires and ATTACKING trans ppl is normal.
Fuck him.
Imperative to prove him wrong on this by making sure he doesn’t get the Dem nomination

Skokie woman held by Border Patrol at O’Hare - Evanston Now
Sarah Naqvi, a U.S. citizen born in Evanston, was detained Thursday morning after a flight from Turkey, her sister says.
This is a friend of one of my classmates. This is horrible. All legal (and even if they weren’t I’d be against it but the point is the sheer lawlessness)
Reforming is not an option

Currently, SSI households have a poverty rate of about 29.2%.
But if the SSI Restoration Act were passed, that would drop down about 60% to 11.8%.
That is roughly in line with the overall poverty rate for households in the United States. - Stephen Nuñez, @rooseveltinstitute.org
