I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Who thinks this? I think you need to quote some people saying the Man in Black is not cool if you want to support this wild take.

Yikes. They don’t get it. Not only do suburban residents and businesses benefit from transit, suburban transit costs more because the development patterns are harder to serve. It takes more driver hours to provide the same level of service to a dispersed population.

Beverly resident Anne Alt emailed Rep. Mary Gill (D-35th) asking her to help pass a reform/funding bill during the upcoming veto session. Here’s the full exchange, including Gill’s response, published with permission from both parties.

One of my professors had one we could try out and I learned I could never use it because I can’t see well/read with my right eye. And then no one could really come up with good use cases lol
