he’s using malcolm to defend taking aipac money. malcolm never once stood with the genocidal ethnostate.

also mlk and malcolm began to align. and did publicly critique each other.

"you think malcolm x and mlk agreed on everything" while defending taking money from an organization propping up a genocidal occupation is fucking disgusting he is a disgrace and should never be allowed to invoke revolutionaries who died for our advancement

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

cta @chicagocta.bsky.social · 1d

Starting October 15, six CTA buses will operate with Automated Bus Lane Enforcement systems as part of the City of Chicago’s Smart Streets pilot.

Automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement starts Wednesday, October 15th

Keeping bus stops clear is essential to ensuring that transit is accessible to everyone especially people with disabilities.

Bus lanes and bus stops are for buses. Bike lanes are for bikes.
Keeping them clear is essential to ensuring everyone in Chicago gets where they need to go, safely and on time.

That's why we're launching automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement to improve rider safety and transit efficiency.

it’s not a want it’s that they consistently put themselves in the position to be looked at so highlighting when they don’t say shit exposes their values lol

Bebo, Chicago Rat Czar 🐀 @bebopott.bsky.social · 1d

beyond parody

"The mounted patrol is an important tool for public safety — one that helps bridge the trust gap between residents, some of whom have a less than generous view of police, and the officers tasked with protecting our city. Kids feel safer around officers on horseback, the presence of the animal offering comfort and evoking calm. This highly visible, less intimidating police presence does exactly what we want law enforcement to do: work in cooperation with the community.

And these horses aren’t just steeds, they’re living memorials bearing the names of officers who’ve died in the line of duty — the entrance to each stall is adorned with a photo and a tribute to the officer. In 2023, a horse was named in honor of Officer Ella French, who was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop in 2021.

Is Chicago really going to sell off Ella French’s horse?"

$1 bil deficit and the tribune wants to keep horses lol

Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune.com · 1d

From the Editorial Board:

As Mayor Brandon Johnson prepares to give his budget address Thursday, one idea should get tossed aside: eliminating Chicago’s mounted police unit.

Editorial: Chicago budget should not cut mounted police nor sell off their horses

Is Chicago really going to sell off the horse named for Officer Ella French?

This is because the feds won't stop gassing our neighborhoods so they can flee and, by extension, are also repeatedly gassing the cops. What a moment to be alive

masked federal agents used multiple canisters of tear gas + other chemical munitions on a crowd of residents in chicago's southeast side around 12:40 p.m.

neighbors had gathered on a residential intersection following a morning during which dozens of border patrol agents terrorized the community.

tear gas billows from canisters in a residential intersection, at 105th street and south avenue north, on chicago's southeast side.

I’m tired of white liberals doing mental gymnastics to redeem white supremacists the second they parrot something mildly decent.
