- The Bears are the 1st NFL team w/a Black Prez, GM, HC & QB1. In a league that once banned Black players—including Fritz Pollard, the 1st Black NFL player & a CPS grad—it’s worth noting. Thomas Brown is now tasked w/fixing what he didn’t break. He’s got a fan in me. Wishing him
- People like to commit crimes in places where 1) they’ll get away with it & 2) there aren’t many people. You know what makes public transit safe? Increased ridership. Actually having the system utilized & people on it reduces crime. You know what increases ridership? Reliability.Union boss calls for National Guard, bag checks on Chicago transit system, like in New York cbsnews.com/chicago/news/c…

00:00 - Anyone with a heart, will look at what has happened with Chicago teens for the last 2 nights and feel disgusted, upset and pissed off. Anyone with a brain, will look at it and realize that we can’t continue on this way. Our city is only as safe as our least safe child.
- Jean Baptiste Point du Sable is known as the Founder of Chicago. This itty bitty hidden statue is our tribute to him. A big legacy deserves a bigger statue. I got an idea...😉
- The lack of attention being paid to CTA service by decision makers is troubling. We deserve a safe, clean and accessible public transit system. I’ve been a CTA rider for 30+ years and it’s pretty bad today. A quarter of Chicagoans don’t have cars. There are solutions.
- The Illinois General Assembly is back in session today and I maintain that @Amtrak is the best way to get from Chicago to the Capital.
- Lets return DuSable Lake Shore Drive to the people. We can have a lakefront thoroughfare where green urban mobility is emphasized, focus on multimodal transpo. & create more green space & recreational opportunities for ALL Chicagoans. I filed HR438 today. ilga.gov/legislation/Bi…

- Some Chicago media outlets are pursuing some very interesting angles. -Just a few weeks ago a TV news station reported that a Northside neighborhood that has existed since the 1850s was “destroyed” by Chicago teens.
- Public transit is an intersectional indicator of our priorities. Show me a mass transit system that doesn’t feel safe & I’ll show you a city that doesn’t feel safe. Show me a mass transit system that is filled with unhoused people & I’ll show you a city with a housing issue.
- Congratulations to my brother, the Mayor-Elect @Brandon4Chicago. This city was literally forged by fire and fortitude and our brightest days are ahead of us. Here’s to our future. Chicago strong. ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶
