Almost every neighborhood in Chicago has at least one street that should be turned into a plaza Here's what Pilsen, Lakeview, Lincoln Square, and Andersonville could look like Alderman Bennett Lawson Alderman Matt Martin Alder Andre Vasquez (political account) Alderman Byron Sigcho Lopez for the 25th Ward

Nothing to see here, just Doctors Without Borders saying Gaza is a mass grave and Israel is systematically destroying Palestinian life. In other words, GENOCIDE.

Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

“If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news…I want a death that the world will hear.” She was about to get married; a film about her life in Gaza had just been finished. 10 of her family were killed with her. theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…

Sad news. Don't Fret, whose art brought so much wit, color, and joy throughout Chicago, often in the most unexpected places, has died after a long illness.

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context. There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

It's Your Daily Imani+!☀️ Thursday, May 8, 2025 Imani and Pippin are confirmed present at Montrose today. 🎥: Matthew Dolkart (Imani, Montrose, April 2025)

My latest for ⁦The Guardian⁩ on how locals reacted to Chicago’s very own pope. Chicago celebrates hometown Pope Leo: ‘Like the Cubs winning the World Series’ theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

In case it’s not clear to some people, this is classic eugenicist rhetoric and a core feature of fascist politics. It implies that sick and disabled people are failing ‘the nation’ and are thus a burden to be stigmatized, shamed, and eliminated.

Why? Is someone blocking food from getting in and deliberately starving them?

It's official! We are expecting! On behalf of Imani and Sea Rocket, we are excited to announce the first egg of an expected four-egg clutch was laid on the Montrose Beach Dunes shoreline the morning of Sunday, May 18, 2025. 📸: Jobi Petersen Cates (Sea Rocket, Chicago, May 2025)

1/ Very concerning news from HHS today: CDC is no longer recommending the COVID vaccine for healthy children & healthy pregnant women. Why does this have me worried?

again, i get that it’s usually well-intentioned, but it’d be great to stop saying “hardworking immigrants” as it implies that immigrants should only be valued for labor, & specifically for citizens + the state, when immigrants should be treated well because we are, well, people

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT. I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up." Thank you Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH staffers!

Car crashes have killed or seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year, but only one of these things is treated as a public safety crisis.

Kindly asking people who don’t know Chicago, namely the The New York Times editorial board, to shut up about Chicago

🧵Today is one of the darkest days yet in modern journalism. I want to write a thread about the martyrdom of journalists Abu Hatab & Omar Zaino, who are among the 30+ people massacred at a café journalists used for its WiFi, and about Bayan Anu Sultan, who was badly wounded.

RIP Andrea Gibson, a brilliant poet

Is your city as cool as Minneapolis?? Minneapolis hosts an annual “Cat Tour.” Neighbors put their cats in the window and crowds show up in droves to admire them and show respect. It’s been going on for 8 years.
